No it’s not over until he’s out of office. He’ll be gone in a few days.

He’s a lying racist.

No Boris, he won't. You and Putin aren't going to take out a decent man who is a strong voice for Virginia women.

Every single Dem running for President and the freaking Democratic Party of Virginia (and VA State Senate/House Dems) all called for his resignation. Kindly STFU with this Russian crap.

He’s caught. Now he’s racist and a terrible liar. He doesn’t have a remorseful or truthful bone in his body.

Sure. He was so privileged and wealthy that he went to a tiny, obscure medical school near his hometown that no one ever heard of prior to yesterday.

Because Harvard just wasn't exclusive enough for him.

People go to state schools for many reasons. If you really want to go there, that medical school had a low percent of black students in the 80's, so it is still a relic of privilege.

Another very liberal white NW DC person here who thinks he needs to resign.
I'm a nurse married to a doctor and the fact that this happened after medical school makes it even more egregious. Most of us came out of medical training with our eyes further opened to the injustices of poverty and social inequities (much of which have a racial component).
To be this insensitive after taking care of other humans as patients? He needs to step down.

Did other med schools in the 80s have high percentages?

This was 35 years ago. People change A LOT in 35 years. There is no reason to think that he is the same man now as he was then.

He is not the same man as 35 years ago, but there was no self reflection and no admitting that it was WRONG. Black Virginians handed him his victory. We can and do better now and we should.

Yeah. They go to state schools precisely because they don't have privilege. That's why.

Being from VA I recall alot of tall stories being told at school, hunting, fishing and camping trips. Heck I got a few good stories. But Ralph's got the tallest tale of all.

No, that's not true. Some may get full rides at state schools....He is wrong and he needs to resign...the end.

As Larry Sabato from the UVA Center on Politics said on WTOP -- HOW was this yearbook not discovered in all of his previous campaigns??????? Sabato said the foundation of opposition research is going through yearbooks of the opposing candidate and "checking the box" that it was done. I simply do not know how Northam's racist past was not previously uncovered.

He is disgusting and should resign immediately.

He didn't apologize, he denied it was him. Which most people find implausible.

This. If it WASN'T him, why the H*LL was it on his yearbook page, along with the other photos of him? I cannot believe there are people defending him on this site.

He went to this medical school because he couldn’t get in anywhere else

What, exactly, is his stellar record on helping members of the AA community? He only got elected because he is a Democrat, when he probably has nothing in common with any Northern Virginia Democrat. He is as old, deep south as it gets.

I'm outraged by this! He should (*** checks to see who the Lt Governor is ... black Democrat!***) RESIGN IMMEDIATELY!!

We Democrats are so very, very brave.

I don't care about Northam's past from 34 years ago if Republicans don't care about a Nazi / white supremacist rally last year.

I don't care about what Northam did 34 years ago, if Republicans don't care about what Kavanaugh did then either.

Oh hon. Bless your heart.

Republicans have been holding onto this for some time. They went nuts over his support of abortion at 40 weeks and decided it was his time to go.

They are sitting back with their popcorn watching dems cannibalize themselves.
