Virginia speaker has 'rightful hesitation' about impeaching Northam, highlighting potential constitutional impasse
I say keep him. The Democrats deserve him. So does the state.
As much as I dislike Northam, this is not a matter for impeachment.
Let him twist in the wind.
I don't give a damn for him, but how does what he allegedly did 30+ years ago fit in with this?
I hope he stays right where he is! This country needs to be constantly reminded that the Rat party is the party of slavery, Jim Crow laws, the KKK, and opposition to 1960s civil rights laws. The Rats are NOT and have never been on the side of angels.
The putrid Rats want to paint EVERYTHING the GOP stands for as racist. They have no positive nor constructive ideas to otherwise offer.
Try to look at Northam in a positive light, as it is he’s basically neutered by the Republican legislature and appears as a racist drag on the Democrat party.
I see no benefit to removing him from office.
The Democratic Party has rewarded the voters of Virginia with a choice between a rapist and a baby-killing racist.
Maybe Cox is taking this chance to get a shot in at Ruthie Ginsberg?
I suspect that Northam VIOLATED Virginia’s constitution (or oath of office) when he advocated for infanticide. Why not impeach him over that instead?
He should be forced to hide his head in shame. Under a white hood with a pointed to. Labeled with a scarlet KKK on it.
Seems fitting /s
Virginia does not have a “recall” law? In California, there is the possibility of voters recalling somebody, even if they just don’t like him any more.
That’s hilarious.
I typed “Ralph Northam black face” into Duckduckgo.com and had to dig several pages before I found a solitary picture of the person in Black Face.
Tell me Google Mom’s aren’t skewing algorithms.
One of the biggest stories going around and I had to dig for the pic.
Anyway, if anyone can find an original photo, I want to rasterize it, which should reveal who the person is in black face...
The VA governor is not going to resign over a yearbook photo nor should he. He will follow the Clinton model and wait it out.
“...because obviously you have to consider that to some degree you’re overturning an election...”
Just like Mueller and the Democraps!!?
It's the Democrat's problem. Why should they expect any help from the Republicans?
Technically, Northam has done nothing worthy of impeachment. Being a racist or dressing in blackface long before launching their political career is NOT a crime. Endorsing a law that allows infanticide is NOT a crime (although it ought to be, I suppose).
He’s done nothing illegal, only disgusting. If he endorsed cheating on his spouse, it might be repugnant but it is not a crime.
Unless there is some sort of morals clause to the state oath of office, I don’t find a reason for him to be kicked out. Not that I think a bunch of politicians, many of whom have law degrees and law licenses, will care about what the law says.
I don’t see the problem. Setting aside the comments lauding post birth aabortion, the governor clearly was guilty of the preelection mental incapacitation demonstrated by the blackface photo.
