The travesty here was just not the blackface- stupid and offensive even if it was twenty- plus years ago- it was the lying and shirking responsibity that demonstrates the true character of this man.

Because in VA they don’t care. Doesn’t make it right

The Virginia governor is a klansman he's part of the Dixiecrats

Till his next halloween party.

So I better NOT here another black person say “realDonaldTrump is a racist or hate black people!” Fakexxx

Quelled? Um.. nah. He should definitely resign RalphNortham

He’s not the guy in the picture with the shoe polish on his face. It’s obvious. Look at it. He’s the other one. Northam virginiademocrats JussieSmollet

Hmmm, would it have blown over if he was in a different political party? Rhetorical question.

wildhorse24

Why doesn’t Politico clamor more then?

The most obvious thing was that they already had scandals lined up for all the democrats all the way down the line so they could knock them over like dominoes until they got to a R. I bet not ONE R who asked where Ford was all those years questioned the timing on this.

Smart on Virginia voter’s part. There’s nothing like publicly putting a repentant, outed racist on the world stage. Go Virginia!

Well, of COURSE he has. What party does he belong to? SMFH.

So democrats are fine with racism. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Very good. So the precedent is set, no more penalty for previous black face events.

He’s loving Jesse right about now.

So the Dems and left just move on but will scream for the black vote?!?

How's the brutal rapist Lieutenant Governor doing? Is all forgiven there, too?

How sad that racism continues with the approval of the WH and POTUS 45. Va. Has set a negative example and it needs to be cleared. Agree, retweet

Now he knows who his biggest enemy's are and they're called democrats, the minute they thought he had his neck caught in a rat trap and his pants down to his ankles they all came running out of the wood work, with zippers down getting ready to pork him in the ass

the swamp is WASHINGTON AIPAC ISRAEL, Americans cannot liberate themselves from Washington, which no longer is Washington but Israel/ same as 1776, to liberate America all nations citizens people of the globe has to isolate Washington AIPAC ISRAEL* the real 1776.

He’s in the party of the kkk segregation . The loosing side of the civil war . Lincoln republican president freed the slave . Their slaves .

Mayhaps because actions from 30 years ago when the world was very different should not be the only measure of a person and we should consider the whole package?

And Dems lose any right to credibly cry racism. Clean up your own house.....

Leftism is now accepting of blackface. That solidified them as pieces of 💩. truth

Bar is set pretty low in ole Virginny...

Democrats and left wing media cover for there racist leaders, Party of and by the KKK.

Look at his wife’s face; there’s the real story.

The biggest problem with all of this is, if this was a republican, oh boy!

Leaving him alone, good. The two white guys stay, but the black guy has to go.

OMG. Twitter is not the whole view of America. What a surprise!

Yeah because killing babies is cool. Planned Parenthood is proud.

A gift, alas, to Trump. Northam and Fairfax will be in the news again and again, all the way to Election Day.

Disgraceful. democrats must hold his racist behavior accountable.

Democrats are okay with their Governors being racist. Democrats are okay with their Lieutenant Governors having multiple sexual assault allegations.

He deserves a second chance

One mistake almost 40 years ago & no history of racism should get you a 2nd chance. The idea that Democrats need to eat their own to be morally superior to Republicans is bull shit..

Nah, JussieSmolettHoax quelled it.

KKK Grand Wizard Robert Byrd did too

Why doesn’t VA have a black governor ?

Trump morons are just pissed that their plot to destroy democrats didn't work in this case. This page is filled with Russian trolls shaming democrats that stand by Northam's record NOW, not something offensive 30 years ago. Conspirators have to pick a new democratic target now.

Quelled ? because he lives in democrat hypocrite land VA. Look at Mark Warner constantly saying. Mueller would be fired. I don’t see any statues in VA with racist or blackface on them

Ralph needs to send Jussie a thank you note.

Democrats won’t be fooled like in 2016. They targeted black people to get them to stay home. Russians or Republicans had tried to play us against each other. What they did 40 years ago was awful but republicans polices today are worse. All three at the same time was set up.

That’s the classic media/left double standard I remember.

Northam may have a problem- his 5-o'clock 'shadow' looks like black-face- better shave twice a day, gov.. - Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam appears to have quelled any widespread public clamor for his resignation in the wake of his blackface scandal

.FairfaxJustin This is your fault.

Unbelievable hypocrisy from Democrats. The good news is that Republicans get to demagogue the shit out of you folks for the next two years. And we get sex assault guru Fairfax out of the way, as well. Thanks, donkeys!

This is why the Democrats are no better than Republicans. He pulled a Trump and it succeeded. He's a racist. But he is our racist. Meaning he's not a Republican. If that had forced him out a GOPer might have taken over, since the Lt. Governor has own problems. DemExit

He apologized, his legacy will prove if he meant it or not.

Boycott Virginia until the POSs quit or are thrown out.

Trump appears to have quelled any widespread public clamor for his resignation in the wake of ALL his scandals too. Kinda hard to hold someone to a higher standard than the racist-in-chief.

The good news is as a country we have finally moved past ruining people's lives over things that happened many years ago...right?

It only matters if it is a Republican?

The Democratic Party continues to prove that they only use people as their pawns to acieve their own political agenda that does not represent the liberals in America. Fake liberals have hijacked Congress.

Maybe it’s because “the news” stopped caring because he’s a democrat.

ICONIC

What he did 40 years ago was racist, but if he can pass laws that help African Americans that is more important.

Looks like he has 'saved' Justin Fairfax too

How funny! Democrat BABY KILLER SUPPORTER AFTER THE BABY IS BORN & supporter of the KKK, VA Democrat Socialist Northam gets a pass from the FAKE NEWS MEDIA MAFIA.

Liberals have no standards just hypocrisy!

You guys need to stop printing this BS. Ask real Virginians and stop with the bias survey numbers. 99% of these surveys are riddled with a high margin for error and serve to do nothing but sway opinions to the desired outcome of the org doing the survey.

He just waited out the news cycle.

Not surprised at all. People know stupidity when they see it. And it is political. Just like Trump is forgiven for being a womanizer they would rather have him than someone else. Swamp.

😉Of course he has. Dnt they always.

We Love CoonMan !!! NoWeDont HittheRoadRalph ResignRalph

Give him credit for knowing the news cycle frenzy for any story is about 3 days. Americans lose their interest after that and they are on to the next thing.

Guess when you have the Klan running defense you can do whatever you want. Way to go Virginia. So disgusting

Sad that his murdering babies Bill is out of the headline

He benefited from the fast news cycle and this scandal-ridden administration. What a feat!

VA GOV NORTHHAM MUST RESIGN NOW!!!

No big deal in this milieu.

As predicted Democrats are just fine with racists and a credibly accused sexual abuser staying in power.

At least Northam's experience is historical. Donald Trump sweats black face every day. That is why he wears so much orange make up
