RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Two months after a blackface photo in an old yearbook nearly ended the political career of Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, his life seems mostly back to normal.

The Democratic governor is cracking jokes at almost daily public appearances around Virginia. State lawmakers who called on him to resign are now all smiles, standing beside him at news conferences. The Twitter mob has moved on to other things, and the antifa-led protests outside his house have stopped.

At a century-old black church in Richmond over the weekend, Northam was warmly received as he helped unveil a historic marker for civil rights matriarch Dorothy Height.

Violet Robinson, a retired educator who is African-American, gave the governor a big hug after meeting him for the first time.

"I love him and he's true and I believe in him and I trust him," she said.

The Governor was actually the one in the clan outfit. He was in blackface on another occasion.

You got a love the demon party

Dude comes out in blackface denies it and they all say he needs to resign

All of them

And he’s just like nope I’m not going to resign I’m gonna have some healing thing or something or other

These people have no shame in their party has no principles at all

A Republican Will get caught jaywalking and all the Republicans will demand that he resign immediately

The double standard has never ever been as stark as it is now

If the scumbags who got away with FISAGATE get away with it we will know that all is lost. We are all in agreement on that all of us

Brennan. Clapper. Comey Obambi. Hildebeest. Lynch And many many more

all of these players need to be held to account for what they tried to do which is on do an election and destroy our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump

“If you hold out for 2-3 weeks, the story will die. Peoples’ attention spans are very short. Political outrage can never be sustained for very long.”

True, very true.

And...nobody is talking about how he approves of post-birth abortion anymore. Which was the entire purpose of the whole charade to begin with.
