Ralph Northam shouldn’t resign because of an old photo. He should resign because he's an idiot

Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam should not resign because he was an idiot in the past. He should resign because he is an idiot in the present.

On Feb. 1, a 35-year-old photo reportedly showing Northam dressed either in blackface or Ku Klux Klan regalia first surfaced on the right-wing news site Big League Politics.

Competing newsrooms, including the Virginian-Pilot, soon confirmed that the photo came from Northam’s page in a 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook. He was 25 years old at the time of the book’s publication. A separate yearbook unearthed this weekend also shows Northam went by a few nicknames when he attended Virginia Military Institute, including “coonman.”

I mean, if the metric for resignation is being an idot or not... I suggest you Google the word "idot" and investigate whose picture comes up in abundance, every time.

More democrat hypocrisy. Over prison reform they all nearly had collective orgasms because according to them "people can and do change." It has become so apparent the democrat party stands for nothing. None have any principles, standards, morals or decency. The party of liars, perverts, infant killers and look to whatever way the wind in blowing.
