Governor, get off DCUM. You have bigger fish to fry right now. Bigot.

This is absolutely true.

So you don’t think Brett Kavanaugh’s past should have been used against him? If Northampton were a Republican, you don’t think the Ds would be screaming for him to resign?

I hate the GOP and their hypocrisy as much as anyone but we can’t complain about R’s hypocrisy on this one.

And for the record, his abortion quote does not bother me.

Sure, let's put him on the Supreme Court.

Brilliant response. We are trying to hold him accountable. Too bad the GOP made racism and sexism as precursors for public office

I wish the Democratic Party was sophisticated enough to realize this. Everything is so black and white for them (no pun intended).

A non-viable newborn. Tragic situation.

It's what Democrats do. All of them.

The saddest thing for me (personally) is that I am not even surprised. This country is so systematically racist, I feel sorry for any Black patient that he had...

Everyone needs to clean house.

We’re not talking about him smoking a joint 30 years ago Or some other such youthful indiscretion.I am his age and it would have been inconceivable to me to put on blackface for any occasion. And I don’t know anyone else who would’ve thought that acceptable in 1984. We’re not talking about the 1960s.

I was watching his press conference live and he said two things that I can’t get past. 1) he claimed it wasn’t him in the photo after saying just yesterday that it WAS him in the photo. Which is it? On this point alone I find him untruthfull. 2) In an obvious ploy to get ahead of future criticism, he did admit during his press conference to having dressed up like Michael Jackson for a dance competition, including putting on black face. Ummmm....How is that more acceptable than the thing you were accused of?

He’s got to go. He’s a relic of the old Virginia and we (I live in VA) need to move forward into the future.

What you mean like Al Franken resigning because of a dopey picture while our GOP POTUS is on video bragging about grabbing women's pussies and has been accused by 16 women of sexual assault was elected President?

+1. I’m a Democrat but this is the problem with the far left. They think they’re doing a good thing by pointing out all the dumb stuff people on our side have done in the past and calling for their resignation/removal. Then the right-wingers take advantage of it and we lose otherwise good people like Franken, who made a bad decision in the past before they were even involved in politics. We insist on trying to be the adults in the room while Republicans get away with so much because their voters/supporters just don’t care.

As a staunch conservative and Trump supporter, I thought Franken should have NOT resigned. Frankly, she had years to speak up and didn't. And while this photo of Northam is ugly, it was a long long time ago. More concerned about how the photo of Farrakhan and Obama was hidden before the election as that was NOT a long long time ago.

And it looks like you are A-OK with men grabbing pussies. what exactly is the expiration date for sexual assault to be an issue?

All of this. It says something about him as a person, not a youthful indiscretion. He needs to go.

He said that the picture was hurtful, not that it was wrong. That ended it for me. He needs to go.
