Getting Nasty? VA Lt. Gov Accuses Northam Of Orchestrating Plot To Keep Him From Taking Over Governorship

We have some House of Cards antics going on in Virginia. It’s getting heated and things could potentially get nasty. The Virginia Democratic Party has been fighting a two-front war, as Gov. Ralph Northam and Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax both have been dealing with separate public relations disasters. Northam’s 1984 yearbook page contained a photo of two individuals in racist costumes from his days at Eastern Virginia Medical School. One person is donning a Klan outfit while the other is wearing blackface. Northam admitted he was in the photo last Friday night, then retracted the apology on Saturday, saying it wasn’t him in the photo, but that he had engaged in blackface while dressed as Michael Jackson for a dance competition in San Antonio. You can’t make this up.
