Democrats call on Virginia governor to resign.
Democrats call on Virginia governor to resign.
So, leaders in the democrat party played dumb when asked by reporters about his recent abortion comments, pretending like they didn't even know what he said.
But now that it has been found out that he appeared in blackface 25 years ago, they're circling the wagons calling for his resignation.

This was apparently in his college yearbook:
I don't care that he's a Democrat - I think it is absurd to ask him to resign over something like this, especially when it happend 25 years ago when he was in college. He perhaps should resign over is abortion comments, but certainly not this.
So to be clear - supporting legislation allowing the killing of babies born after botched abortions? Perfectly ok. Dressing in blackface in college 25 years ago? RESIGN RESIGN RESIGN.
Damn the Democrat party is one f-ed up political party.

The left tore apart Kavanaugh because he liked beer in college. This guy has a quote about beer and....crickets.

Re: Democrats call on Virginia governor to resign.
He's cooked. I'm amazed it took this long to surface. But imagine if he was a Republican? White lives matter would appear and you wouldn't hear a peep from anyone about resigning. By now, some Republican spokesperson (or Fox News) would be trying to blame the Democrats.
The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, the state House Democratic Caucus and the state Senate Democratic Caucus all called on Northam to resign, along with several key progressive groups that have been some of the governor’s closest political allies.

Re: Democrats call on Virginia governor to resign.
The question should be, "why wasn't it found during his campaign?"
Seems the press puts a microscope up the ass of anyone with a conservative bent, even going so far as to manufacture malfeasance, but they couldn't find this?
They looked at Kavenaugh's yearbook.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

deep background like that is typically the responsibility of the opposing candidate.Bryce wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 8:17 amThe question should be, "why wasn't it found during his campaign?"

Tell that to The WaPo.
Ummm, Kavenaugh had a opposing candidate?

Re: Democrats call on Virginia governor to resign.
The journalists didn't go looking for evidence, they reported on it, just like in this case. You seem to think that the whole concept of political rat fucking is being perpetrated by journalists?
If you've been an asshole somebody's ready to rat you out.
My point is that the Republicans fell down all over the place crying about how Kavanaugh's abusive behavior was an attack rather than acknowledging he may not be the best candidate for the Supreme Court.

Might that be because it was all a lie?

Re: Democrats call on Virginia governor to resign.
Two things need to happen:
Northam needs to step down. He was in his mid-twenties when this happened, so it's far from some youthful indiscretion. Abhorrent then, abhorrent now.
Republicans need to STFU right now about this unless and until the time they call out with equal vigor for the resignations of Rep. Steve King and Donald fucking Trump both of whom I have little doubt are equally racist but have the pictures more well hidden.

Re: Democrats call on Virginia governor to resign.
For the record I think it was 35 years ago not 25.
I think people can change. The question is has he? And even if he has are the "crimes" forgivable?
It's not the same but once upon a time Ronald Regan was a Democrat and I think Hillary Clinton was a republican. But they changed and people accepted that change
I haven't honestly followed that close but are there more recent indications if raciest beliefs. .

"Hey Donald. Hey Steve. You both need to resign. You're racists. There's pictures. We know there's pictures. We don't know of what or where you're hiding them but we just know there's pictures to prove it, so you need to both step down immediately."Lester The Nightfly wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 11:24 amTwo things need to happen:

Bottom line is that things were different in 1984 than they are today. And I think it is beyond insane that things like this should permanently ruin one's career.

Re: Democrats call on Virginia governor to resign.
Actually in both mens cases their own words reveal more about their racist nature than 100 rolls of Kodachrome ever could. No pictures required.bmw wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 12:02 pm"Hey Donald.
