Good. One less Democrat racist politician.

I just don’t think the Democratic Party should be a party that can’t forgive any past mistakes. I don’t know Gov Northam but I know we all have done stupid things. I want to know how he’s lived his life up to now.

Without a doubt, Northam was in blackface. Northam is a tall man.

When will McConnell resign.

SenMajLdr is guilty of racism. He should Resign

For the record: What he did was as a high schooler, goofy stuff. What the Dimwit in Chief does is as as over grown Toddler that should know better. Resign? Not until Trump does.

Is he the “eloquent negro” JRubinBlogger ?

GovernorVA has lost what little agency he had if any, why resignation wasn't immediate is a concern for the party?

The big question is, who was sitting on this picture to use at a later date for blackmail, to control the Governor? Then it makes me wonder how many other political people in power have blackmail pictures/info on them, to control them for the Democrats?

What's good for the Goose is good for the Gander

He was unable to deliver for planned Parenthood so they truned on him

One can tell from my profile that I despise all things trump, gop & racial inequality. However, why can't AAs rail against things like 👇? Why are THESE things lost in discussion? TheDemocrats MSNBC CNN

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.

When will Cindy-Hyde-Smith resign!

He will return to his old job as an extra in 'Birth of a Nation.'

The way of the wicked is as darkness, they kmow not why they stumble. (Proverb 4: 19)

What about the racist in the White House? Why does realDonaldTrump get a pass?

The next photo that drops with anyone else making racial gestures gots to go even if republicans don’t believe in the same principles they must since they are going hard. Just wait

Stay the course, Northam. Let Virginia voters make that decision.

Something REAL happened in a yearbook--unlike Brett Kavanaugh--and the Dems can't agree to get rid of a REAL KKK boy! Hey Democrats, the silence is deafening!!!

joncprevo 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

OMG. Leave him alone. This was years ago when he was young and immature. He is not the same person now. He has grown up. I did stupid things when I was young that I would never do today

For the record: This corrects a deleted tweet that contained incorrect information about a press conference by Gov. Ralph Northam

Virginia Governor Apologizes for Racist Medical School Yearbook PhotoGov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, confirmed he is one of the people in a picture that showed one person dressed in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan hood and robe. Failed to identify which one he was. And read his statement ... not a full apology (which he seems incapable of) You have to say “racially charged” like you do for the Republicans. Can’t say racist!
