I don't care about college activities, that were legal. Kids aren't known for good decision making. I think he should resign because of his ad he ran smearing his opponent, showing immigrants being chased/run over. And because of his stance on the life of babies. And also for lying about his yearbook page...1st it was him and he apologizes, then it's not him, and somehow it was just put there on his page...

You can stop with the fake outrage. He dressed up in blackface 35 years ago, oh the horror.

They were elected. Their respective States can elect someone else next time.

King said what is talked about every day, and like most Americans, I agree with him. Only the grievance crowd would find anything objectionable in it. We all know people like this.

I have no use for the Leftists that have seemingly overrun Virginia in recent years, but I'm only one voter.
The perpetually offended can practice their so-called virtue signaling by pushing Northam off-stage and installing a Black governor.

Two birds with one stone!

Most agree that it's bad for this guy to put on black face. Why was it ok/funny when Eddie Murphy put on white face for a skit on SNL years ago?

Accept it wasn't his ad. The Latino Advocacy Group independently produced and ran that ad without his endorsement in response to Gillespie's ads that painted all Virginia Hispanics as MS-13 members. They were pissed and they did the ad. Northam conveyed that he understood why they would run the ad. But the ad did not have his endorsement and anyone can run any ad they want.

So now activists teach people to be offended by every imaginable way they can.


Dare any white person attempt to pretend to be a black performer, they now must 'die'.


Yet dem sen byrd, a member of the KKK became an esteemed member of the democrats.


What we have here is politicized weaponry, filled with lethal shot, giving a death sentence for being alive in cultural transition. Ignore the greater segment of the person's conduct and destroy them for one incident deemed racist by applying today's template against yesterday's behavior. No mercy! forgive felons who committed murder, demand for them voting rights. Destroy anyone who appears in a high school or college year book that by today's standards is unacceptable. Ignore their decades of behavior with no racist evidence.


The internet and instant communication is responsible for the instant daily regulations activists send out to alert to new offenses. Many people alive today have never been without instant communication. Many can't even recognize a hardwired telephone.


Do not forget it wasn't until the late 1990s that instant communication began to spread.


This guv fumbled the accusations but has anyone found any racist or bigoted behavior in his life since college?????


Today, cable, sports, news, weather is all about predictions. As if everyone wants to be the Delphic oracle or a miss cleo with a 900 number. So any single word or act is now used to make an assumption that something deeper and hate filled lurks in the heart of the accused. Likewise if a person were to use a medical term, like oophorectomy, by today's standards, would be thought to be a doctor. Makes no sense, destructive and divisive. Even hate and fear mongering democrats need to be defended in these cases.


Eric holder said we are a nation of cowards for not holding a discourse in race relations. Holder should have mentioned he was baiting people to be charged as racists for being honest and speaking their mind. the more the discussion is suppressed the deeper the divide. The activists, media and idiot legislators conspire intentionally and stupidly to create enemies where there are none.
" destroy them for one incident deemed racist by applying today's template against yesterday's behavior."

I have yet to hear about ANY of the MANY things in WVA taking Robert Byrd's name off.

They have gone after statues, paintings, school names etc.

Where is the NAACP and the rest of the race hustlers going after things with HIS name on them?

Why hasn't any of the "media" asked these people complaining now, why THEY haven't gone Byrd things?

Hypocrisy on display AGAIN!

"I do agree he should step down. But most importantly, the left and even conservatives must accept his apology"


About the BIGGEST shows of hypocrisy we have see.


If you ACCEPT his apology why should he step down?

There are plenty of racist people who live their lives everyday and never draw attention to themselves.
