Hell, the way this was handled it wouldn't surprise me at all if Republicans take over the governor's mansion the next election.

Don't confuse the policies of a party with the foibles of a person. The policies that affect people are what they will vote on, just like the Rs who hold their noses and vote for Trump because they like the tax cut.

This is why a broad segment of the USA public, but especially Virginia are rightfully p*ssed off. What it takes an "investigation" to come up with "can't identify" after Gov Northam admits? What a waste of money!


2 Klansmen and a rapist are running Virginia, and they show no sign of stepping down.

Can democrats be any more hypocritical and disgusting than this??!? Why would you ever consider voting dem again??

Well, that "Klansman" got the Medicaid expansion so I guess a few people would consider voting dem again.

Yep. I guess free healthcare > a racist governor.
Go figure.

It’s a lesson in how to deal with social media and scandals.
Shame he didn’t deny from the start. Oh well.
He made the smart move to just dig in and push forward.

LOL. The way he handled this was disastrous and will probably be used as a lesson in communications classes around the nation in how NOT to handle a scandal.
He is still in office, but is viewed as a joke. Hell, the way this was handled it wouldn't surprise me at all if Republicans take over the governor's mansion the next election.

Oh, and the rapey Lt. Gov...sorry we mentioned that...now go away you silly female accusers. One of you may be a PhD just like Dr. BLasey-Ford...and you can even name the time/place/date (and he actually admits that all of it occurred except...consensual So none of that pesky he said/she said to establish if you had ever even met each other that we had to go through with the Senate hearings) but yeah...we're not really interested. Bye now...

Well, Trump has had 19 accusations of sexual assault, and that's not a story anymore, either. And they can name all of the places, too. I love that. And, that you voted for him, even after he bragged about assaulting them.

Whataboutism.

And you are 100% OK with rape. Great. Got it; you’re a scumbag hypocrite rape and racism-apologist. Good to know.

He ADMITTED being in it.
Then, he apologized for being in it.
Then, he admitted to wearing blackface at another time.

Now, he says he was not in it.

What an f'ing joke he is.

Northam response:

Press conference earlier today to give the results of the yearbook investigation. A reminder - Northam is still governor.

An investigation ordered up by a Virginia medical school failed to determine whether Gov. Ralph Northam is in a 1984 yearbook photo of a man in blackface next to someone in a Ku Klux Klan hood.

Investigators with a law firm hired by Eastern Virginia Medical School said Wednesday they couldn't "conclusively determine" the identities of either person in the 35-year-old photo.

They also said they couldn't discern how the picture was placed on Northam's yearbook page, but found no evidence it was placed there by mistake or as a prank.

The report found no one "with first-hand knowledge of an actual mistake on any page, including any personal page, within the 1984 yearbook."

A man now living in the Shenandoah Valley who served as a page designer for the EVMS yearbook in 1984 told WHSV that the yearbook staff only published pictures that were given to them and he saw the chance of a mix-up being very unlikely.

And, then there is this.,......

"In each case, the President of EVMS decided that the school should not take steps to publicly announce the Photograph or to call Governor Northam’s attention to it."

Eastern Virginia Medical School knew about Northam's racist yearbook photo for years and kept it quiet. The photo was taken to two EVMS presidents in "periods when Governor Northam was
running for different public offices." The McGuireWoods report: https://www.evms.edu/media/evms_public/departments/diversity_office/final-evms-report-with-exhibits.pdf …

"The EVMS personnel decided to remove the 1984 yearbook from the table at the reunion event so as not to upset anyone who might see the Photograph. The EVMS personnel who became aware of the Photograph expressed surprise and disappointment in the Photograph."

"the staff members were advising the President at the time of the Photograph and asking if EVMS had an obligation to or should do something about it, such as notifying Governor Northam about it."

The two EVMS presidents who kept quiet about the racist yearbook photo were both donors to Northam:
