Yeah, how did this guy get anywhere near any elected office without this coming out? On the other hand, this is just locker room stuff and he should run for president...or be appointed to the SCOTUS. Rolling Eyes

Sorry. You done fucked up. And whoever gave the go ahead for publishing that year book needs to be outed too Along with the school. Fuck all those people.

Democrats are guilty of having moral standards.

Finally some bipartisanship. Republicans and democrats can finally agree on one thing- when a democrat did something terribly racist he should resign.

Yeah, if GOP officials can voice their enthusiasm for going to lynchings and stay in office no problem, this guy shouldn't go anywhere. Neither behavior is acceptable, but Democrats have held themselves to a higher standard and what has it gotten them? President Trump, among other things.

Just wait for the news cycle to change, fuck it. Fucking Republicans calling for this guy to go is hilarious.

by **Watch Out Pylon!** 2019-02-02, 10:24

I wish I lived in a world where shitbags caught doing shitbags things to the extent of this photo and take your pick with Trump, disqualified them from office. Unfortunately a lot of this stuff is applauded by certain groups of people.

I think they should all be held accountable tbh. Here’s your fine majority leader from the great state of Kentucky (as you know, a northern state.)

I agree, this sort of thing absolutely should disqualify a person from holding public office, but only if that is the case for all parties, which it sadly is not.

Mitch is an asshole. He used Medicaid as a child and now wants it cut. We know he’s an asshole. But guys, this dumb ass has to resign. He just does. And out the yearbook editor and supervisor too.

by **GRR Spartan** 2019-02-02, 11:18

Governor Northam will resign.
It’s a when, not if question.

Why anyone who’s even thinking about seeking an elective office would proceed knowing these types of photo’s were put there in 100’s , possibly over 1000 college year books and think they’d never surface is naive or arrogant. Arrogant gets my vote in this case.

Helluva it is this didn’t require a lot of diving into past statements, etc. Somebody with a year book got it to someone and that someone got it to a small time website so others could act shocked and seem like they were above the fray.

If I’m Ed Gillespie, former RNC Chairman and the guy who lost to Northam, I’m wondering why people didn’t unearth the damning photos when they were being paid to do opposition research in September before the election.

by **kingstonlake** 2019-02-02, 12:57

Apparently unapologetic and not resigning.

He must of found a calendar that says he was studying the day the photo took place.

I like the LT Gov. Harvard law leans left. Would be second African American gov.
I hope this guy resigns

by **Rocinante** 2019-02-02, 14:59

I’m kind of with Cam on this one. 1. As all the Republicans getting caught doing and saying horrid shit are fond of saying, it was a long time ago, maybe he knows how disgusting that is now. And 2. Fuck the moral high ground. The only thing that matters now is getting the tea party / white nationalists out of power.

by **Dr. Strangelove** 2019-02-02, 15:48

After apologizing Friday for posing for said picture and he now says it's not him because he never had a Klan outfit and the only time he wore blackface was when he dressed up like Michael Jackson in 1984.

That is one for the record books.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2019-02-02, 16:10

Made me lol

@blainecapatch: why doesn't that racist governor guy just switch parties so he doesn't have to resign

exactly.

He could even sexually assault some women along the way.

I still think he quits. Maybe at halftime of the Super Bowl. Take some of the spotlight away

I saw a Trump tweet that was almost like Trump 2020 has people reading this board.

This guy needs to gooooo. What an idiot.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2019-02-04, 07:44

yeah, he'll be gone soon - regardless of his own feelings of regret, remorse, etc - he's lost the ability to be trusted, to be a leader and to have the respect of his colleagues and, more importantly, his constituents.

I mean, if his name was Steve King and he was in Iowa, it might be different, but it's not.

true..

as we've all acknowledged, if he were an outspoken white supremacist, had been endorsed by the KKK and David Duke.. sexually assaulted women, mocked disabled people, mocked POW's, etc - he'd actually switch parties, run for president and win 81% of the christian vote.

by **Watch Out Pylon!** 2019-02-04, 08:31

So this guy is going with the "It wasn't me" defense? Sure whatever. Seems to work for most other politicians.

November 2nd, 2016

Among the small number of American newspapers that have embraced Donald Trump’s campaign, there is one, in particular, that stands out.

It is called the Crusader — and it is one of the most prominent newspapers of the Ku Klux Klan.

Caution: Mainstream Media Link

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2019-02-04, 10:58

David Duke, the former KKK grand wizard, is unambiguous about what Saturday’s alt-right and neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, means to him: It’s the fulfillment of President Donald Trump’s vision for America.

“We are determined to take our country back,” Duke said from the rally, calling it a “turning point.” “We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back.”

I heard the GOP majority leader of the VA State Senate saying he "hoped" the govenor would resign because he wasn't sure theere were grounds for impeachment.

The Machiavellian part of my head translated his statement to don't ever waste the oposition's crisis.

If Northam resigns soon Lt Gov. Justin Fairfax would be govenor for over two years.

But wait!!! There's more!!!

By what must be shear coincedence someone has found a woman who claims that Justin Fairfax sexually assaulted her at the Democratic Convention in Boston in......2004. That's right folks. the GOP is taking out the long knives.

I think they saw what happened to the GOP US Senate candidate in AL and Democratic candidate running for state wide office regardless of state is going to have their record gone thrugh including obscure blog posts tabout events from 15 years ago.

From the link:

The blog, in the post that prompted Fairfax's denial, claimed that a fellow at Stanford University said a man sexually assaulted her at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Mass.

“Imagine you were sexually assaulted during the DNC Convention in Boston in 2004 by a campaign staffer. You spend the next 13 years trying to forget it ever happened. Until one day you find out he’s the Democratic candidate for statewide office in a state some 3000 miles away, and he wins that election in November 2017,” a post from the reported accuser said, according to the blog. “Then, by strange, horrible luck, it seems increasingly likely that he’ll get a VERY BIG promotion.”

She did not name Fairfax, but the report implied she was referring to the lieutenant governor, who then responded to it.

The website that broke this story is a hoot.

bigleaguepolitics.com (guess where their loyalties lie)?

Now trying to torpedo the Lt. Governor of Virginia with sexual assault allegations that were deemed unsubstantiated when the real press vetted them.

I heard the editor of this site on NPR a couple nights ago. He says "I don't believe that journalists should be sanctioned or licensed. I think that citizens with cellphone cameras can be journalists all over the country."

Which in my opinion is exactly the problem with news in this country. This is the tactic of the elite: saturate the web with bullshit so that nobody can ever tell what the actual truth is.
