Northam told the truth No need for him to resign These are young people wearing costumes smiling having fun together
This photo may have just solidified his position as a challenger to Trump for the Republican nomination in 2020. Now, if he can just degrade women, POWs, and the handicapped to get the Christians behind him. MAGA
It’s a relief to know that not all Democrat Party politicians are just run of the mill pious hypocrites like Pelosi...
He needs to resign.
Stupid acts from decades ago when your drunk don’t define who someone is today. If that were the case then I should be chastised for the rest of my life. And I say that regardless of your political stance. If you are a good person now that is all that counts.
And a least he’s man enough to apologize, not like all the republicans who swear it is not true.
Northam made a mistake that many young people make; however, racist views is a character flaw that may remain latent. Political ambitions induces one to suppress their racist beliefs & live a masked life to get voters support. Unmasked people renounce racism when they reject it.
It amazes me just how many self righteous people have something to say. I will guarantee you that every single person commenting has done or said something racist. A stupid act from 35 years ago doesn’t define a person. I can’t even count all the stupid things I did years ago.
What about Northam’s mom? I don’t understand the headline.
Is it weird that I don't find these photos offensive? I mean, the photos are racists, but when I first saw them, I laughed. I didn't feel offended, oppressed, threatened, or outrage. I just laughed and said 'dumbass', then went on with my life.
Northam must resign.
How true....Liberals see racism where it does not exist, fabricate it when they can’t find it and ignore it when it is one of their own. -Charlie Kirk
yes he needs to go, he played the race/racist card on Ed Gillespie and this is truly ironic. Sad that endorsing the killing of new born babies was o.k. to stay in office, but 35 year old photo (yes in poor taste), is too much for people to handle.
He can ignore any GOP people asking him to leave, he should listen to his party.
Black face, KKK outfit, taking a picture with confederate flag is all unacceptable. McConnell should resign as well.
If Dems give him a pass their credibility will be zero
wooooooops
If you follow the rules that our president has set in the political arena. He has done no worse then Trump, yet Trump is still in office. Per Trump's followers, what happened in the past stays in the past. You cannot be held accountable for your past actions. Trump Idiocracy.
Ripping babies apart after birth was cool with liberals but a yearbook photo from decades ago is suddenly the worst thing ever. Of course he should resign....for supporting murder.
In 1983, 241 American servicemen were killed by a truck bomb in Beirut, Lebanon. Many were Black, and many were in their 20’s. The very next year, 25 year-old Northam thought it was a good idea to dress up as a Klansman. HE MUST GO.
Maybe he grew up. Trump hasn’t
Phony Dems the biggest racist on the face of the earth.
an even bigger question is why did the school allow that in the yearbook? Might want to look into the institutionalized racism there
Now...., Just how many others are out there...? In Politics ! Hiding behind the mask of Racist curtain !
Anyone around VMI in the early 80s and the inner working of its honor court is completely unsurprised by yesterday’s revelation.
Hes got nowhere to go Cant eat as hes got the dry heaves He just ended his career in everything in the USA He will be moving very soon i am betting
Not that it matters but photo looks like a couples’ costume gone awry. Northam in blackface & date in KKK gear. Note the feminine quality of KKKer’s pose. Like an odd couples theme party. Bad choice though. Very bad choice.
First tulsi now the governor. Don't be so quick to just turn on people
Why is everyone so offended about an old photo. You do realize the history here and the whole culture back then. It’s a tale old as time and in that time movies in Hollywood were all Blackface. But the image depicts both kkk and Africans together no violence just friends.
I don't know why people are so surprised by the racism that is coming out now because it never left and some of the people in Congress have done racism in their past and during college.
What I've gotten from this thread is ! Republicans and Democrats have something in common they are both racist
Mother Mary on a pony, WaPo! ''Mum' about his plans?!' 'Mum?' Really? That's all you little yellow 'journalists' got? If Northam was a Republican, you would have a WaPo posse riding out and calling for a high tech hanging. WaPoIsDemocratMouthpiece
OBVIOUSLY a GOP smear job! GovernorVA expressed remorse &he is NOT racist! Assume goal of BlackLivesMatter &kneeling protests is2 inspire self-reflection &cause folks to repent of racist/bigoted tendencies; do we then plan2 PUNISH EVERYONE plus newly 'woke' for past mistakes
Northam, I have four words for you:hit the road Jack!
Cindy hyde Steve king trump miller how about them
Had he been a Republican, you would ran the story in 2017 before the election.
Hate to say it - he was doing a good job - but he needs to go. Justin Fairfax can continue the good work. I was impressed at how quickly he took ownership and apologized. That was refreshing. But you can't recover from this.
-A Democrat comes out as a racist: Democrats call on him to resign. Republicans call on him to resign. -A Republican comes out as racist: Democrats call on him to resign Republicans yell MAGA. **see the difference** ResignNortham ResignTrump
... getting little worried about those toga party pics...
One thing I haven’t heard/read: *how* does a photo like this even get into *any* yearbook? Who approved this horrid picture being in the yearbook?
I'm so glad to see the finally the right fighting back against the racist left. Hypocritical Communists that's all they are.
he needs to stay put! realDonaldTrump never resigned on anything, everyone has a past, he was a young man, that photo doesn't define who is now!
You ignored this so a Democrat could get elected.
Ok if that was trump , all Heck would break loose but it's a democrat so it's ok...and people wonder why this country is a mess
He is Democratic right? I’m not shocked.
Were this a Republican, Northam would be standing at the head of the line demanding his/her head on a platter! Virginia should be soooo proud. Particularly the millennials & minorities who openly bragged about getting him elected!
Most people don't care, really. GIve it a week and most people will forget. What are you trying to cover up with this? Could it be that Jussie was lying so we need to detract from that? Or could it be that Democratics in Congress have been spouting Antisemitism? Bet thats it
this is indeed - a huge BOOMER problem - think the rich influential BOOMERS - need to to stop and pause - and donate their salaries from here on forth
Governor, enough. Your continued tenancy distracts from other issues facing the Commonwealth. You bring shame on VA. You will drive Democratic voters away both here and nationally. You have an able replacement in Lt Gov Fairfax. Resign, sir.
4 days ago this guy was literally talking about keeping a baby comfortable while a doctor & a mother contemplate killing it, but this is a bridge too far.
He’s not mum. He made a a statement last night saying he’d finish out his term. Democratic leaders have come to his defense. I bet they all have clan hoods in their closets.
senatemajldr should also resign this is also racist and offensive
Bye Felecia!
Northam's hiding in his mum's basement, after a flood of calls for his resignation for 'racist and offensive' photo. fxd- k. your welcome.
Really? I think most of us find that and his push for infanticide both offensive
The Republicans should watch and learn how we run an idiot out of office for inappropriate behavior.
Two enemies having a beer?!? President Obama did similar with the Professor and the cop in Massachusetts!!
The only way for Northam to save his job is to switch parties.
In 1984, the editor and staff of the yearbook should have known better and rejected or removed the photograph before the yearbook was published; so, who was the editor...?
We all know that racism exists no matter political lean. Yet this gives Trump his both sides edifice. However, the GOP wallows in it and uses it to excite its voters.
He released a written statement & a recorded video.
Why the ' '? KKK is not objectively racist now?
CallRalphNorthram tel:804-786-2211 Tell him to resign, no matter where in the country you live this affects us all.
No call for Booker to resign over assaulting a woman ?
When will Republicans ask Steve King to resign? Democrats have called Northam out after 9 hours.
Im sure he will get right on that after Republicans force Mitch McConnell, Steve Scalise(david duke w/out the baggage), and Steve King to resign. Now whoever at WaPO wrote this crap needs to include what I just posted.
He's done. Period. Governor Justin Fairfax coming right up.
Are Republican's still 'pouncing' on Northam?
The outage over a photo ! But none about his fetish for killing born babies. Media is dead -
I hope received that moment that all human give up racist manner, God damn all racist
What about EVMSedu Where is their apology?
Resign. Then Mitch.
He must resign. Also Steve King, McConnell, Trump, Cindy Hyde Smith must resign
Quit, right now, this moment. There is zero to discuss.. Leave
Now he's mum, before he wouldn't resign.
