RICHMOND, Va. — A senior official in Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's administration says the governor has told his top staff that he does not plan to resign over a racist photo despite intense pressure to step down. The official says Northam told his Cabinet during a Friday afternoon meeting that he intends to stay. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Northam has faced widespread calls to step down over after his medical school yearbook page with a racist photo surfaced last week. It shows one person in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood. Northam said last Friday that he was in the picture. On Saturday, he denied he was in the picture and said he was not immediately resigning but left his long-term fate unclear.

Good, I want him to stand for re-election on the basis of his stance on infanticide. A Republican Gov. is far better than whoever would take his place (although their bench is not very deep at the moment)

Why not stay? Degenerate left and impotent right. No fear. Tyranny coming quick like a bunny.

Thanks for the time to prepare, President Trump.

The right can’t even get bigot to resign. All the “oh boy he’s staying” BS notwithstanding.

Controlling Virginia for thr 2020 election is far more important to Dems, than standing up for principles.

all three should step down if the Dems are living by their own puritanical standards. But now that a second accuser has come out against the VG, he especially should step down.

I thought the video of Northam refusing the shake the black man’s hand was even worse. It was sooooo obvious.

Yeah just forget the racism. It’s important he’s stays to make sure young mother’s “have that conversation” with their doctor as the baby is coming out of the womb. It’s a key leadership position to make sure if they decide to kill the baby, The Good Governor is there in office to defend their right to kill. Isn’t that why Planned Parenthood paid him $2 Million to run for office? The racism isn’t important. The killing is what’s important. Isn’t that what all Democrats stand for? Death for Thee but Not For Me.

Yup. Northam will make great election fodder in 2020. Also: Fairfax, Cuomo and other assorted D d***heads. Baby murders, socialism, open borders, green new deal and unicorns vs life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness & the Constitution aka what politicians swear an oath to uphold and defend.

This Fairfax dude now makes Northam look like a choirboy in blackface. Looks like Fairfax gets voted off the island and blackface gets to stay on to run the island

This is getting to be funny — the Black man, who the Dems hold in such high esteem (when he is useful to them), will take the heat and the fall for both the Governor and the AG. The Dems will orchestrate his fall to save the “white boys”. Hypocrisy is rampant in Democrats, it is.
