Harris, Castro call on Northam to resign after blackface photo comes to light
The Washington Times ^ | February 1, 2019 | Dave Boyer

Presidential candidates Sen. Kamala Harris and Julian Castro were among prominent Democrats calling on Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to resign Friday night over a photograph of him in a racist costume.

Ms. Harris, California Democrat, tweeted, “Leaders are called to a higher standard, and the stain of racism should have no place in the halls of government. The Governor of Virginia should step aside so the public can heal and move forward together.”

Mr. Castro, mayor of San Antonio, Texas, said it “doesn’t matter if he is a Republican or a Democrat.”

The racist Dems want to get rid of the white Democrat governor....And guess who the Lieutenant Governor is. Justin Fairfax who is black. How convenient.

Gov. Ralph Northam is abortion and infanticide crazy but just saying.

The Lt Gov is black .... make a difference (whether more socialist or not)? I think so ... the Dems will see poetic justice in replacing white/racist Northam with a black man.

Baby-killing? That's OK.

Blackface?

From that picture, he’s not just toast, he’s either cinnamon toast, or apple butter toast.

You can bet if the Lt. Gov was a conservative Republican, the Rats would have circled the wagons.

So... where was this Ralph Northam story about 1.5 years ago, during the Virginia gubernatorial election?

If this was Ed Gillespie's yearbook, it would have been plastered all over the front page of The Washington Post every day for a week sometime in October 2017.

Gillespie's opposition research guy should never have a job on a Republican campaign ever again.

How do you know they didn't find it? Perhaps it was Gillespie's decision not to use it. Gotta take the "high road" don'cha know?

As long as the Lt. Gov. is associated with the black-face racist governor, the Lt. Gov. needs to resign, too.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Lt. Gov is black so he’s excused .... not his fault Ralphie was dressing up inappropriately back in med school. /s

Some Questions for Ralph - inquiring minds would like to know:

#1 You admitted being in the picture, but you didn’t say which one was you .... which is worse, black-face or KKK? I’m guessing being in the white sheets is the one you don’t want to acknowledge.

#2 Why was your nickname (printed under your picture in the VMI yearbook) Coonman? I haven’t heard that little factoid addressed yet.

> I think the Gov went too far defending infanticide so the Dems are throwing him overboard by leaking his yearbook pics.

Bingo ! This is all way too convenient.

The ONLY time Dems hold one of thier own accountable is when they are a threat to the collective.

"Danson jumped on that. There ain’t enough booze in the world. Can u imagine waking up next to that?"

Back in 1993, when this blackface event took place, I still remember when Rush Limbaugh commented about this on his radio show. The movie "White Men Can't Jump" had been released the year before, and Rush's comment was something to the effect: "You remember the movie "White Men Can't Jump", well in this case, "White men can't see."

Goldberg, in 1996, went on to have a 5 year relationship with Frank Langella. She was 41 at the time...he was 58. I thought Democrats claimed that older men who dated much younger women were nothing but pedophiles.
