Welp: Yearbook page for pro-infanticide Ralph Northam features a man in blackface and another in a KKK outfit; Update: "Deeply sorry"
Go figure that a guy with a Klan photo in his yearbook would have a strong stomach for killing innocents.
In fairness to him, a lot of dumb kids did offensive things back when they were [checks notes] 25 years old. In medical school.
This is his medical school yearbook.
It was Big League Politics that found the photo. It started circulating on conservative Twitter, then the Virginian-Pilot checked BLP’s work and found that, yep, the photo’s legit. Now we wait for the follow-up story: Is Northam the guy in the hood, or the one in blackface? And which is worse?
By the way, this guy defeated a formidable Republican in Ed Gillespie by nearly 10 points to become governor in 2017. Crack job by Gillespie’s oppo team in missing the other candidate’s BLACKFACE/KLANSMAN YEARBOOK PHOTO.
If Northam resigns, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax would become Virginia's second African American governor.
A black would-be governor is waiting in the wings if Governor Blackface steps down. Hmmm.
Update: You can be indulged a bit of youthful Klan-costuming so long as you’re sufficiently woke now.
Update: The apology arrives at a little after 6 p.m. ET.
Good enough? A Republican would be dead on arrival, needless to say. At a minimum, he’ll need to call a press conference, show his remorse to the cameras, and explain how the photo came about. Lots of embarrassment ahead. I think the left will cut him a break. They can’t spare an abortion warrior as ferocious as Ralph!
