So, Herring said Fairfax HAD to resign because of wearing blackface, and then he admitted wearing blackface.
Without getting into the argument of whether blackface should force a person to resign, CALLING FOR THE RESIGNATION of a person for doing blackface, when you did it, is absolutely a reason to resign.
And, Herring had already put his hood, er, hat in the ring tp run for VA governor in 2021.
He has received a lot of PP money, some hidden in PACs.
Here’s who’s donating to Virginia’s most expensive attorney general’s race ever
The Democratic association has reported donors only from the first half of 2017 to the IRS. It will file its report from the second half in early 2018.
In the first six months of the year, DAGA’s biggest contributions were about $75,000 from the United Food and Commercial Workers union and just over $60,000 from T-Mobile.
Since June 30, DAGA communications director Lizzie Ulmer said, some of the top donors have been Planned Parenthood, the National Education Association and Citigroup.
One Commonwealth, Herring’s own leadership political action committee, gave $827,500 directly to Herring’s campaign, making it his second-biggest donor after DAGA. The next biggest is Everytown for Gun Safety, which gave $600,000 through the end of October. One of that group’s founders is former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.
