Virginia AG Herring says he wore 'brown makeup' at a 1980 party

No way do not resign! 19 year old kid! This is getting ridiculous! Northum late 20’s medical student and Fairfax accusation different level

It’s Virginia

Any politician Democrat or Republican who has engaged in this unacceptable and shameful behavior should apologize and resign immediately!!! These individuals need to resign immediately so that there can be calm and unity.

Ridiculous. So what if he put on some makeup to pretend to be a rapper. Who the heck has it hurt? No one. Has he been doing his job representing all Virginians? Has there been a hint of discrimination in what he does? Folks need to grow up.

🤦🏽‍♀️

They can go

I dressed up as Mae West does that mean I hate white people? Put your big girl panties on and stop being so darn sensitive. Dressing up as a rapper isn't the same as calling me out of my name. Shit, the rappers dressed our daughters up as whores. Where's the outrage?

I think if Northam would have just put a statement out like this to start with, there wouldn't be all of this drama. All of this stuff coming out now seems like a power grab from the Republicans

kmbc Really? Who really cares. Can you honestly tell me that you are the same person with the same view points as you were when you was in High School or college? This just seems to be digging for anything that they can dig for. Give it up!!! OMG

And these RACIST men got 95% of the BLACK VOTE. That says quite a bit about our political system that ppl automatically vote for the R or the D, it’s absolute stupidity.

OK, who’s next!

Just keeps getting better n better. DemsOwnInfanticide DemsOwnRacism DemsOwnHate

Doesn't anyone remember that (awful) movie 'Soul Man' from 1986? The whole thing was a guy in blackface played by TOMMY HOWELL for gawd's sake. White guys who would have never thought themselves racist had NO IDEA. 30+ years later we all know better. Let's ease up just a smidge!

BLACKFACE ABC. BLACKFACE. RACIST BLACKFACE.

After demanding GovernorVA resign no less....

Sound like every felon that’s locked up.

'Oh BROWN makeup? Well, Mark, that's makes all the difference!' Puh-leeeeze!!!

Why is no one showing the picture of Bill and Hillary with her in black face?

Rap barely existed in 1980 He dressed as something else

smart to get ahead of it...and appologize.

'It is no longer possible for Governor Northam to lead our Commnwealth and it is time for him to step down.' - Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring (D)

Is Donald Trump the only politician who hasn't worn blackface?

All the talk about blackface lately reminds me of the'little rascals'-Alfalfa & our gang' They used to dress those little kids up in blackface skits, & everyone thought they were so cute.

Who cares. They calling for baby killing

So .... does he believe BrownFace is less offensive than BlackFace? Maybe the store just didn’t have any black shoe polish 😖😡

Can I remind anyone that political correctness did not exist in 1980? It seems very unfair 2 judge or be judgemental of standards that didn't exist back then. This is exactly why Trump won in 2016. Herring/Northam wouldn't dream of doing this now, but back then it was common.

So if Northam goes, and Fairfax has this sexual assault allegation and the VA AG was also racist, then that leaves the REPUBLICAN House Speaker to take the mantle, doesn’t it? 🥴🤔

Spelled 'blackface' wrong.

Did he think that would make it all good? If they ALL did it, it must not be bad? wtf is wrong with these men?

Virginia Democrats are doing Black History Month wrong.

nickmon1112

Lol omg these guys must’ve been such losers in college

I guess Richmond, VA is still the Capital of the Confederacy. Racism is alive and well in the Democratic party 154 years later. DemoKKKcrats

When I was 13 (1976) , and learning to play guitar, Jimi Hendrix was my HERO. I wanted to be him. I dressed up as Jimi for Halloween that year and I used brown makeup. I never intended any disrespect. Jimi was my idol. I am deeply sorry for offending anyone.

And they are all Democrats

This mess happened years ago...look what the good he is doing now...we all have made mistakes....we all would make the front page news...Praying for Va politicians!

I can't understand why people enter politics knowing they have shady pasts or did something embarrassing enough to not want to admit. By entering politics you essentially invite the opposition and investigative journalists to research your past. Eventually they dig up everything.

The only reason this is great. The dems loving playing the race card. They know how to back peddle. Pretending to be Black is not racist. It makes you stupid. What you see each morning in the mirror. Is what you are. No matter your color.

'It sounds ridiculous even now writing it.' No kidding.

Virginia wants to be California or New York so bad. They can't escape their past. Virginia is from the South and will always be the South. dixie

Dem Virginia Governor: Racist Dem Virginia Lt. Governor: Sexual Assault Dem Virginia Attorney General: Racist Shaun King: Fake Black person who is actually White but who tried to put on black face

if everyone matured on cue .forgiveness would have no place.

The King Of Pop - Michael Jackson was a rapper Since when?

Poor C Thomas Howell....does this mean his career is destroyed for making a bad movie When your young your dumb....when your an adult you cringe when you remember the dumb things you've done...this is life!! It shouldn't ruin your future!!!!

It wasn't unusual for people in the 80's to don black/brown make-up for Halloween costumes. My friend did that when she dressed as Janet Jackson. I seriously doubt she's racist, since she ended up marrying a black man & had 3 kids with him!

'TRUTH IS POWER'

Kurtis Blow was virtually the only rapper around at that time. 'You wore blackface in 1980 and four decades later, you lost your job......that's the breaks, that's the breaks'

Lol!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Demtards are eating themselves.

I once dressed up like Willie Nelson. I had a bandana, fake pony tail and clip on earring. I’m not sorry though. I had fun. Lol

Way to get in front of that!!! Whew

Just hand over control to the Republicans. This is embarrassing.

I am so confused right now...

It's the BlackFaceMeToo movement. Prolly won't find any Virginia Republicans pictures...........

Great job, Virginia, of electing racists fools to run your state. Vote Straight Republican next time, OK?

Just showing their true colors! Play on words, if you didn’t get it liberals and socialists! Trying to makeup it easier for your weak minds!

Damn racist democrats

By their own standards, shouldn’t all three be stepping down?

Virginia has some serious issues🤭

Democrats truly are the party of slavery

I wore white makeup once when I dressed as the joker, just saying because apparently peoples fancy dress choices are now news worthy and sensational pcbrigade

MORE: 'This conduct is in no way reflective of the man I have become in the nearly 40 years since,' Mark Herring says in a statement.

The Virginia DEMOCRATIC party is racist! They need to resign!

Confession: I once dressed in whiteface while impregnating my sister, who is also my mom. There, I said it. It’s out in the open. Can we move on?

Meanwhile the Democratic mouthpiece Jimmy Kimmel wore blackface and not a peep from the left.

Herring on the Governor just a few days ago - 'It is no longer possible for Governor Northam to lead our Commonwealth and it is time for him to step down.'

I commend Herring for doing wht Northam refused to do: admit to wearing blackface and offering an apology.

😄😄😄😁😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 RESIGN!!!! RacistDemocrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!

If sexual assault by an SC justice from 30+ years ago doesn’t matter to Republicans, then Halloween costumes from 30+ years ago shouldn’t either.

Jimmy kimmel dressed up as a black dude yet where is all the outrage over that?

My nephew wore a black panther mask at Halloween. Should we crucify him too?

This just keeps getting better!

Is this the 'I am Spartacus' tactic? What is going on in Virginia?

Oh another democrat? So surprised!

Let’s not persecute people for 40-year-old mistakes.

So did he just choose to disclose this? Or is he trying to get out ahead of it?

I thought I was embarrassed because I wore earrings in college

There won't be a junk shop, Goodwill or used bookstore in VA still having old yearbooks by sundown.

I don’t care , it’s 2019 .

Well maybe we should start asking who HASN'T done black face? Maybe easier

I think we should ban all Virginia Democrats until we can find out what is going on.

No respect of any ethnicity

The scandals are really piling up for the people in the line of succession for the Governor of Virginia, aren’t they? If it keeps going like this, the Governor will wind up being someone who wanders into the Virginia Capitol building to use the washroom.

Someone made a fortune selling shoe polish in Virginia in the '80s.

1980! Get over it people

(AP) — Another top Virginia Democrat — Attorney General Mark Herring — admitted Wednesday to putting on blackface in the 1980s, when he was a college student.

Justin Fairfax are already facing controversies, and Herring would be next in line to be governor after those two men. Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring said that he wore brown makeup and a wig in 1980 to look like a black rapper during a party. Herring is next in line to be governor behind Gov. Ralph Northam and Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax. I mean honestly at this point we might be better off replacing Virginia with Venezuela.

Once you go blue... Didn't most schools in Virginia have 'Blackface Friday's' along with spirit day? I heard it was quite common in the 80's. zerohedge Will any government official in Virginia who did not wear blackface or sexually harass anyone, kindly run for office so that we may all move on from this insanity?

Crisis mode for politicians and public figures. Self preservation (if you can call it that) at this point means self reporting any stupid decisions made starting in childhood so you’re not the next subject of nationwide protests or opposition research bombs. Let me know when they report liking furry art on social media.
