I don't know one person who has not regretted an action, statement, or other event that they did not regret. In most cases those people have learned from their mistakes. We should examine our own past before we begin pointing our fingers at others.

This could derail the minstrel show the DNC was going to put on to celebrate Black History Month.
Page one from the democrats dirty tricks play book. Always accuse your opponent of doing what you yourself are guilty of. So far they've called Trump a racist and in collusion with the Russians and exploiting women. Check and check and check.
All they can do now is call him a pedophile.

Perhaps if Northam was 15 years old he could be forgiven for his youthful ignorance for wearing black face and being pictured with a KKK costumed companion. Usually, I am against trashing someone's stupidity for long past social media indiscretions. but in this case, he was a 25 year old adult when he chose this costume and was smart enough and old enough to understand its significance.

Northam should resign.
^Great post. Thank you!

Ah, but see, he won't have to resign. The media obviously had this story before the election and sat on it. So now there can be all this hand-wringing and calls to resign from Democrat candidates, but it's all posturing. Nothing will happen, and they know it. Northam pushes infanticide now, so he's in. Total double standard.
