No, Northam doing something stupid doesnt negate Gillespie's racism.

LOL, it's amusing watching Donald Trump fans accuse democrats of lying and denying.

Anyway, I agree this guy should quit.

Oddly enough, his apology video is still up on his twitter page.

By tomorrow, CNN and MSNBC will be claiming it is actually Trump in the photo.

Note no evidence of his racism is provided and you could not prove it in court. Your party's strategy is to smear GOP as racist even though the racism back in the day in this country was done when Democrats had the power.

You try to conflate your party's history with the GOP which is the party of Lincoln.

Northampton faces mounting calls to resign
Any notable Va Dems publicly say he should go?

And he was in med school wasn't he? Guess physicians have above average intelligence and a certain expertise in a particular occupation but no more empathy or sense of racial tolerance than the rest of us peons.
