Seems like Northam is deploying the Joy Reed excuse.

Political correctness will harm the United States

The Democrats created the KKK and now they have a hood wearing racist as governor in Virginia promoting late term abortions of African Americans. Disgusting!

What an embarassment for the state of Virginia! Liberal jerks have to be expelled!

As soon as Kavanaugh resigns

Too bad

Crumb

This guy is an absolute imbecile. First he apologizes, then he’s not sure it’s him. But, he is still the guy that endorses fourth term abortion.

If GovernorVA were a Republican, DNC would have already organized antifa led riots in Richmond VirginiaGovernor

You do mean DEMOCRATIC Governor Ralph Northam..... Suprised you guys are actually running this.... somewhatimpressed fakenews

I might be a bastard 18, then repent 19, it therefore would be sad to label me a bastard for actions done 17, but I would still be accountable and sorry for my former stupidity. Resign goes a bit far for a guy whose adult life hardly proves racistic behavior

Democrats just want him to resign so they can put your boy in as Governor Fairfax is his name that's why they set this up he's a pawn I don't like him but what he did 30 years ago means nothing

Focus on the INFANTICIDE issue. Don't be distracted.

They all say that in the beginning, it’s just a matter of time before you resign. Black people will never see you the same governor, the trust is gone. Once a bigot always a bigot. The photo shows you went to great lengths to show how much of a bigot you were then and now.

Psycho Racist

Thank you for being the new poster boy for the Democratic Party!!

My question is who were the faculty advisors at Ralph's school as well as Cavanaugh 's Catholic high? These instances didnt occur in1960 at a Selma al schools. Must say its enjoyable seeing a Dem excoriated by his base as happens to Republicans.

Hey VA, your Governor isn't woke.

Northam is not only a promoter of INFANTICIDE but he is also a bold in your face LIAR.

He needs to resign immediately

...this is now the Democrat Party’s problem...and the citizens of Virginia’s, who have a racist governor handing around their next like an albatross...

Okay - we’ll, then he should resign because of his abortion stance. Pick your poison.

this guy looks better in black face

We dont negotiate with terrorists like ISIS or the democrat's!

If he was Republican there would be a march on the Virginian capitol

The death grip on power from the Democrat extremists is worrisome

i think you should just respect his past as past , NelsonMandela among others forgave the past of his colonizers to move on .he has changed now..we dont correct our mistakes to live in them but to make us better than before myopinionthough

I believe the governor suffers from mental illness. No one in their right mind thinks infanticide is ok and then has the nerve to deny that he’s in a yearbook picture that he apologized for being in yesterday. He also doesn’t know why two friends nicknamed him “Coon.” Really?

Maybe one Dem who won't run for Prez?

He needs to go. How can he not know in 1984 that such a blatant racist photo is not appropriate to put in a year book. He was 25 years old for goodness sake.

He’s waiting out for the noise to blow over

Is it true under VA law, unless he’s convicted of a misdemeanor hate crime, citizens cannot even petition for a recall or to have a court remove him from office as a result of these photos going public?

Funny that your headline doesn’t mention he’s a Dem...sure it was purposefully omitted

Virginia's Minstrel Show Governor. Coonman. Democrat. Bringing 'My Best Years' to your front door.

Good. He shouldn't be bullied into resigning for wearing a costume to a college costume party. Stop taking yourselves so seriously you ridiculous outrage mobsters.

He will ;)

The question is: What has he done since then? Most of us did stupid things when we were younger. I know that I did. But the definition of who we are depends upon who we are today? Someone else will have to answer on who Ralph Northam is today?

The world is now searching for Northam's medical Yearbook Editior. Find him/her! He said he didn't submit the picture of the Blackface and KKK. But did give the other 3. Yet he did blacken his face for a Michael Jackson dance the same yr 1984. Virginia will investigate.

Typical democrat.

This press conference is painful. Total denial. As head of honor court to act like this is embarrassing to VMI, Virginia. Blaming yearbook writers at med college and VMI is weak and BS

First he admits to being in the photo and says sorry for it and that hes not like that now, then tries to say he wasn't.... must have gone to trump university.

Good, unless something comes out about racist behavior this century, Northam shouldn't resign. Let's stop with the revenge culture and try forgiveness after contrition.

Yes he will! No one wants him!

So Brett Cavanugh gets excoriated about drinking beer, then there’s this guy... he’s getting kid glove treatment.

That’s what they all say before tucking their head between their legs to kiss their ass bye

This is the exact moment you can diferentiate a selfish power-hungry politician from one who cares to serve and do the right thing. It doesn’t matter what GovernorVA ends up doing. Now we know the kind of politician he is. Racist RalphNortham NorthamShouldResign

He should do the right thing and resign!

MIstaken? Even more reason to resign. If he could not remember whether or not he did this in 1984, then he has other issues that make him unfit for service unless he has had repeated blows to the head in the interim.

Let him stay! Great MONUMENT to leftist hypocrisy...

Wow, if this racist doesn’t resign he’ll be a gift to the Republicans

“I don’t believe”, must have consulted with Clinton speak dictionary. meetmeonthetarmack

He's disavowing any knowledge, input or control over the yearbook page. Amazing!! He's get a pass.

Brett Kavanaugh claimed to never have drunk so much as to black out. Northam's is that he's never drunk enough to have blackfaced?

He has a team of PR folks guiding this for him now. Damage control. He’s been coached. It’s pathetic. As a Democrat I am embarrassed.

He's a democrat so it's okay. He gets a free pass. Business as usual.
