Eastern Virginia Medical School president and his predecessor both knew, and kept quiet

Richard Homan, president and dean of Eastern Virginia Medical School , speaks during a news conference, Wednesday, May 22, 2019, in Norfolk, Va., about a report announcing the results of an investigation into a racist photo that appeared on Va. Gov. Ralph Northam’s 1984 medical school yearbook.

“In no way did I want to be perceived as having put any weight on the scales of an election,” he said Thursday from Long Island, where he was a wedding. “That was not my job. My job is to manage and grow and improve the academic institution for which I’m responsible.” NORFOLK, VA - FEBRUARY 4, 2019: The grounds of Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, VA, photographed on February 4, 2019. Homan said he did not tell the Board of Visitors after he saw the Northam yearbook page. He said consulted the school’s attorney briefly, and she did not disagree with his thinking that it would be wrong to make the image public during the heated 2017 campaign for governor. He also didn’t feel the need to consult outside counsel.

Asked to comment on the notion that by doing nothing, he was putting his thumb on the scale, Homan demurred. “To make that public at any time would have had significant political implications. We’re not political so there was a decision not to do it,” he added. “His thought processes -- I talked to him after the fact -- were similar to mine.”

Having that (D) after your name covers up a lot of sins.

You mean the same people that had their own copy of the yearbook? Deep investigative dive guys.

Some knew for years about Joy Behar racism. Maybe Virginia Should follow ABC's policy and let it go. Joy Behar still has her job.

This whole story is a special brand of American absurdity 🤣 Racists are bad liers

Like it matters. The leftist media has run cover long enough and the man will escape this barely scratched. It’s good to be a democrat.

Probe inconclusive on governor's racist yearbook picNORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A law firm investigating a racist picture of a man in blackface standing next to someone in Ku Klux Klan clothing on Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam&39;s medical school yearbook page says it&39;s unable to determine whether the governor is in the picture. Translation: it's him. Seems like a solid use of time and resources. Another progressive liberal cover-up. The best and easiest job is a Democrat politician. No matter what you do or what you say, as long as you are a progressive, you will not be held accountable. It’s as simple as that. liberalprivilege

Ticketed Motorist Pointing Finger Just The Green Light Cop NeededDANVILLE, VA—Recalling the provocation that came midway through a routine traffic stop, Danville police officer Dylan Hayden told reporters Thursday that driver Donald Watkins’ decision to frustratedly point his finger at him was just the green light he needed. “Legally, I’m not allowed to touch the motorist after pulling him over, but when he extended his index finger directly toward me, I knew that gave me the go-ahead right there to take whatever action I deemed necessary,” said Hayden, adding that as soon as he noticed the conceivably threatening hand gesture, he had full authority to skip right ahead to exerting force. “Frankly, I probably would’ve had the okay to rock and roll after he cursed under his breath, but I wanted to be absolutely certain that I was in the clear. Once he pointed his finger at my chest from inside his vehicle, I knew I’d be covered no matter what happened next. He really left the door wide open for me with that one.” Hayden expressed confidence that there was probably someone wanted for robbery who looks similar enough to Watkins to legally justify pulling him over in the first place. This took a very dark turn
