He apologized for the picture appearing on his page, calling the image "offensive" and "racist," but said that he had nothing to do with the preparation of the yearbook, nor did he buy it.

He said that while he did not attend that party where the picture was taken, he did attend another party the same year in which he said he "darkened my face as part of a Michael Jackson costume."

He also said that he did not expect Virginians to believe him immediately or to forgive his actions right away: "I am just asking for that ability to demonstrate that the person I was is not the man I am today.

One fake news reporter actually thought it was a good idea to ask whether he could moonwalk. And they wonder why they are SOOOOOOOOOOO distrusted. Do you think that would have been the question for a Republican governor?

when he received his yearbook all those years ago what was his response?!

Wasn’t he angry and never forgot his anger!?>

What he is saying THIS MINUTE does not reflect this.

He responding as if he never saw this yearbook page until this week!

Watching the press report right now. He stated that when he checked his yearbook he was shocked with the pics. That tells me he purchased the yearbook when it was published but never checked it out and saw the pics? I don’t buy his claim. Someone should ask him to see HIS yearbook to see if there are autographs from fellow students.

Michael Jackson hardly had a ‘dark’ face.

Isn’t it amazing how the story and conversation has now shifted from Northam the governor who supports infanticide to blackface...

Diversion mission is successful.

Don’t be deceived.

I expected him to say it couldn’t be him because he was walking the Appalachia trail at the time

Said he went dressed at Michael Jackson with a little shoe polish. But in Jackson’s case he did not need the shoe polish, just a little bleach which was the pedophile singer’s makeup of choice.

He did the moonwalk and impersonated Michael Jackson?

After he publicly admitted to and apologized for appearing in the picture, an aide said to him, “Governor, don’t be stupid. No one can prove that’s you in the picture! Deny!”
