Ralph Northam yearbook page shows men in blackface and KKK robe

Innocent until proven guilty. He says it wasn't him in the photograph. We have no other evidence.

Let him stay. The court of public opinion has been brutal, but not final.

He admitted to it first, that's pretty solid evidence. The fact that he would now claim that it wasn't him shows just how untrustworthy he is. Look at the yearbook layout, each page is divided into half to showcase one student, where the student is in the photographs - except for the one dude who included a photo of his parents.

I can't believe Gillespie lost to this piece of garbage.

This type of response is so damned old. It is not funny, witty. creative, or thoughtful.
If you have an opinion, express it. But, stop with this old, tired response.

Um - a DC political candidate actually DID try to post anonymously to defend herself on DCUM (and Jeff caught her, and exposed her).

What makes you so certain that the person who posted wasn't Ralph, possibly Ralph's wife, or a member of the governor's administration?

After all, there IS precedent.

Seriously? Where's the thread for that? I wonder how Jeff knew. I mean I know he logs IP addresses and all, but how does he tie IP to a person's identity.

Here is the thread. It's pretty funny:

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.

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

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

Getting into any accredited medical school is an accomplishment.

Doesn't the tiny island nation of Grenada feature a U.S. medical school?

Governor Northam, please get out of this thread.

I am the PP. I am not Northam. I have never met Northam in my life. I'm sure he's not G-d, but I'm also sure the people who are calling for his resignation are not either.

Northam should have realized no one can see under a KKK hood, and categorically denied he was in the picture. He could have brazened that out.

Now he’s going to have to destroy Fairfax. Don’t get me wrong, I hate the betrayal Northam pulled with the abortion stunt last week. But Fairfax would be ten times worse. The last thing we need is an unelected Governor getting three years and THEN run for re-election. That’s completely unfair.

Smartest thing Northam can do now is throw his organization’s weight behind anyone peddling allegations against Fairfax. If he can submarine Fairfax, then it would be a Republican speaker who would elevate to Governor.

That’s a win-win. Either Northam and Fairfax are punching bags to smear all Democrat candidates. Or we get our man into the Governor’s mansion as a hedge against losing either one or both houses of the General Assembly.

We should hold our nose and secretly ally with Northam to own the Democrats, as “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

What are you blathering about? The next in line of succession is the Attorney General who is a Democrat.

[Anonymous]

The Lieutenant Governor, who is not elected on the same ticket as the governor, serves as president of the Senate of Virginia and is first in the line of succession to the governor. The Lieutenant Governor is allowed to run for reelection. ... The attorney general is second in the line of succession to the governor.
