High profile Democrats call on Northam to resign, as governor vows to finish term

reply

While it would never have occurred to me to pose in black face along side a supposed klansman, I suspect it was just an amusing and bone-headed whim by a young person. If we have to put up with an accused sexual assaulter like Kavanaugh making critical decisions for the whole country, I think we needn't pillory Northam for this. More important things to be concerned with.

This reminds me of the Republicans reactions to Mississippi's candidate Cindy Hyde-Smith, who said "If he (a cattle rancher) invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row," back on November 2.

Then they found out she attended a 'segregation academy' in High School, and she praised a Confederate soldier's attempts to "defend his homeland."


High-profile Republicans were so upset with Hyde-Smith, that they completely forgot to ask her to step down, and T-rump endorsed her candidacy. That's how upset they were.

reply

I bet you could spin cotton into gold if you wanted too. So there's no outrage right?

reply

No outrage? About Northam? Are you joking? There’s an abundance of outrage from both parties! Everyone is calling on him to step down, and I personally back them up - he needs to resign immediately; no questions asked. What he did was inexcusable and despicable. Don’t you agree?

And I feel the same way about Hyde-Smith, saying on the campaign trail she would grab a front row seat to a public hanging, attending a segregated academy in high school, and praising the confederate soldier. Equally inexcusable and despicable-don’t you agree?

For the life of me I can’t understand why Republicans endorsed her, encouraged her not to drop out, and T-rump publicly endorsed her...while Democrats were outraged by this racist behavior.

Maybe you can explain it to me better? I’m waiting...

reply

Yup. Dems hold people accountable even if they are in their own party. Repubs will side with an Alabaman pedophile just to keep their numbers up.

reply

Really, what about Corey Booker?

reply

What about him? If you're a teenager kissing a girl and you reach for her breast, and she pushes away, and you reach again, and you admit that it happened, what should happen to your political career?

Now compare that with a 30 year old man targeting teenage girls in a mall for sex.

Or compare it to a young guy holding down a girl while raping her.

Thats pretty much all I have to say about Cory Booker. So now you tell me your thoughts on what should happen to Cory Booker for his "crimes."

reply

W0W! Bubbas at a loss for words. He can’t explain why conservatives supported Hyde Smith? He can’t explain why there was no outrage from the party against her racist behavior? He can’t say whether he found her behavior inexcusable and despicable???

I’m shocked, I tell you! Completely shocked!

reply

Gov. Northam refuses to step down, despite flood of calls for his resignation over racist photo.

“We amplify our call for the Governor to resign,” the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, a key Democratic constituency and onetime ally of Northam’s, said in a statement. “Our confidence in his ability to govern for the over 8 million Virginians has been eviscerated.”

reply

We're all in agreement the guy should step down. Why is this so difficult for you? Or is it just another trolling shit-post from you?

reply

Why haven’t you answered my other question which asked your thoughts on Hyde Smith?

reply

Democrats are better than Republicans. So they wouldn't do something like this.

reply

Still not an answer.

reply

Not surprised. He was likely a Republican in his college years.

reply

That'd explain it.

reply

From @EsotericCD: “kind of hilarious to see the hacks blurting out "no wait really this Democrat is actually, spiritually, a Republican" as fast as they can. and mere days after he endorsed their policy dream of abortion up until (and after) birth!”

reply

Actually, the Dems are having that great week. They’re now known as the godless infanticide party.

reply

Dems are still high off the Pelosi win. They have the stability to tell Northam to get lost without skipping a beat. Repubs on the other hand are still kicking themselves for supporting an Alabaman pedophile even after they learned he was a pedophile.

reply

He needs to go. Even if you could excuse the photo (you can’t), his positively Trumpian reactions this week of trying every explanation/excuse under the sun to see what sticks was a sign of poor leadership and weak will.

reply

Northam was just the guy the Dems had win the election for them now that they are in they want to replace him with a Black Attorney with Slave roots Justin Fairfax without an election. The dems had this photo ready to leak the whole time. Just more typical election meddling from the left

reply

More conspiracy theories from the Trumptards. Not surprising it's against a person of color.

reply

Why'd it take so long for the Republicans to find this picture. It was right in his yearbook. That's what I want to know!

DemocRATS are the most racist of all...historical fact.
