The photo was first published by Big League Politics on Friday and later confirmed by other outlets such as WaPo and The Virginian Pilot.
One half of the page shows Ralph Northam wearing a suit jacket and a tie, a photo of him in a cowboy hat and boots and another of him leaning up against a convertible.
On Saturday Governor Ralph Northam said the photo was not of him and Friday was the first time he saw the photo in blackface.

As much as I dislike Gov Northam for supporting killing babies I feel this comment is something a Dem would mention. We have more class than splitting hairs. However info is interesting.

ReplyDeleteTo suggest that he only saw the photo on his 1984 med school yearbook page for the first time last week isn't believable.
Other classmates have stated the content of the page devoted to the student was up to the student. No yearbook committee to fob it off on.
With that as a starting point, his choices for his page were not illegal then or now. In poor taste, absolutely. He squeaked into office and wouldn't have been elected Lt. Gov in 2013 or Governor in 2017 if the page had been known to voters.
So I think he should stay in office. Let him twist in the wind and be a daily symbol to all citizens of just what the Democrats have represented from the Civil War to the present. If he quits, they will smother this in the media. Let him stand out like a sore thumb.
