After first admitting and apologizing for appearing in a racist photo in his 1984 medical school yearbook, Gov. Ralph Northam has been calling Democratic leaders saying he isn't one of the two men in the image.

Virginia Sen. Louise Lucas who represents Portsmouth said Northam called her this morning and said he wouldn’t step down.

“I’m not going to resign because it’s not me in that photo,” Lucas said, recalling what he told her.

Your post #57,

Being in blackface is only a PC crime. It wasn't an issue two-three decades ago, for all of time.

Some of us here might ponder about the absolute destructive power of PC. The screaming and yelling about something in bad taste years ago. It brings in otherwise fair minded people to join the pack. Calling for a man's head, like it was a real brutal crime. To quote the bard.

"Much ado about nothing."

Some (twitter) comments I’ve seen on the situation:

To Virginia Democrats: Ralph Northam’s not locked in the room with you. You’re locked in the room with him.

Democrats need him to resign. He has no incentive himself to resign. Like a defendant’s option to plead guilty he gets life in prison. He might not win in trial, but the defendant might as well try to take it there if his only other option is life in prison.

Ralph Northam is blackmailing the entire Democrat Party now

Northam can’t ever run for office again, and has three years left on his term, so he has no incentive to resign immediately Complete sociopath.

I wonder if this punk’s medical license has expired and,if so,what it would take for him to get it back.He won’t make much as an ex Governor given that MSLSD won’t touch him.

There were other people at that beer & costume party along with Coonman Northam. If Coonman were Republican, CNN would have already scoured the World, found every one of the partygoers still living, interviewed them in depth, found all the juicy details behind the story, scheduled their testimony before the House Ethics Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee, and coordinated with the local Federal District Court to have him tried and hanged in public.

He KNEW he was in the photo - that’s why he prostrated himself in front of the liberal media and begged forgiveness.
Recently I looked over my college year book from 40 years ago, and I remembered the circumstances of EVERY photo that I was present in.
He can’t tell me doesn’t remember.

Think, for a minute, about a med student who gets so drunk or stoned that he can’t remember whether or not he wore a racist costume to a party.

Probably not someone you want to go to unless you want a baby killed.

The racist university published the photos in its year book and must be closed.

Such a racist institution is offensive to all Virginia and the world

Kind of like the fetus in the womb, eh?

DEMOCRAT Northam should NOT resign for being the DEMOCRAT that was either in blackface or wearing a KKK hood.

In fact the DEMOCRAT in blackface or KKK hood should stay in power as a DEMOCRAT and continue to discuss the DEMOCRAT plan to kill infants.

Stand with DEMOCRAT Northam!— C3 (@C_3C_3) February 2, 2019

It should be the first thing you have some low level staffer do, go to the candidates Alma maters and research everything you can about them. Most of that stuff is freely available unless you are Barack Obama...

Virginia doesn’t allow governors to run for re-election.

Thus morning I also read that Bongino had that image back in October of 2016 but could not verify it.


He mentioned that on Fox last night, and it was in the context that the DEMS had this picture for a long time too...

Some here have wondered if this firestorm wasn’t created by DEMS to divert attention from the post-birth abortion/infanticide controversy...and in doing so, protect their more important abortions rights/infanticide agenda.

I hope he stays. It makes it easier to defeat him next time. Whoever replaces him now will be just as liberal anyway.

Keep him in. He is now totally neutralized but still capable of making many more despicable public statements enraging just about everyone in the state. Move Virginia back into the Red column.

Message to Virginia voters: KNOW YOUR CANDIDATE — do your homework beforehand!

The photo is racist and contrary to fundamental American values. I join my colleagues in Virginia calling on Governor Northam to do the right thing so that the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia can heal and move forward.— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) February 2, 2019

He’s the Governor of Virginia. He is limited to one 4 year term anyway.
