They should start impeachment hearings just to make sure he doesn’t resign then drag it out until the ‘21 election (VA governorship on odd years).
Agree. If I was in the Republican leadership in the VA legislature I'd promptly form a "committee" to "investigate" whether the Governor has a racist past and whether his past actions merit impeachment. I'd make sure this "investigation" dragged on for well over a year, without actually impeaching him. They can call hundreds of "witnesses" that have known or met him over the decades to testify whether or not the Governor is racist. Live TV coverage of the "Special Investigative Committee on Gov. Northam's Racism" would be ideal.
