High Profile Democrats call on Northum to Resign, As Governor Vows to Finish Term
CNN ^ | 2-1-2019 | Dan Merica
Posted on 2/1/2019, 10:27:06 PM by tcrlaf
A series of prominent Democrats demanded Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's resignation on Friday, excoriating him for appearing in a racist yearbook photo showing one person dressed in blackface and another in the KKK's signature white hood and robes.
The calls came from a number of 2020 presidential candidates, members of Congress and prominent liberal organizations, all of whom said Northam's apology on the issue was not enough. The NAACP also called for Northam to leave office. Those calls, however, were not echoed by Virginia Democrats, including Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner. Both said they were shocked and offended by the photos, but in separate statements both said it was time for the governor to think about what comes next for him and to listen to those he has offended. Northam, for his part, has vowed to finish his one and only term as Virginia governor, issuing a video statement on Friday evening where he apologized but pledged to remain in office.

After first admitting and apologizing for appearing in a racist photo in his 1984 medical school yearbook, Gov. Ralph Northam has been calling Democratic leaders saying he isn't one of the two men in the image.
Virginia Sen. Louise Lucas who represents Portsmouth said Northam called her this morning and said he wouldn’t step down.
“I’m not going to resign because it’s not me in that photo,” Lucas said, recalling what he told her.

Being a lefty, the story will fade away and he'll be re-elected.

Ahahaha...his nickname is listed....in the yearbook "coonman". :o ;D 8)

Dems call Trump a racist without any proof, but here is hard evidence that they themselves are racists.

He now denies it was him ???

I think he is only allowed one term as Virginia governor, but yeah I doubt he is going anywhere.

For those in the abortion thread that doubt God, I submit my post from last night trying to figure out who the asshole was that was on video saying it was ok for a mother and dr. to have a conversation about terminating the pregnancy after the child was out of the womb, on the table with the umbilical cord still attached?
.......I don't advocate for violence normally, but I hope that person's life is completely destroyed.... whoever he is. If it happens to be the result of a violent attack and torture that seems fair, and I'd happily look the other way.
First part seemingly took less than 24 hours to come to manifest. Now that he's a known racist too, I wouldn't be surprised if the second part happens.
I love how CNN is so clear to point out when a politician fuck's up that they are a Republican (actually they misled mis-labeled ::)him as one). However, when it's a baby killing Democrat his party affiliation is left out of the headline.
Liberals, I keep hoping you'll wake up. The truth is right in front of you. Cohen's confession, the Indian, Empire Actor, Pro-Choice cuz they care about women, conservatives are the racists......all fake news!

Posted on 2/2/2019, 7:02:08 PM by Trump_the_Evil_Left
EVMS President Richard Homan, MD, issued a statement Saturday saying the school shares "the outrage, alarm and sadness voiced by our alumni, the press and many on social media."
Homan, who is also the dean of EVMS' School of Medicine, added that the photo is "absolutely antithetical to the principles, morals and values we hold and espouse of our educational and research institution and our professions."

Media makes most of Ralph Northam mess
The Boston Herald ^ | 02-03-2019 | Tom Shattuck
Posted on 2/3/2019, 7:36:38 AM by calvincaspian
Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is looking at the man in the mirror today, and the disgraced politician is a far cry from the progressive hero he was earlier this week.
While the opportunistic politicians scamper like rats from the scene, media activists are taking a stand for their man, deflecting and reshaping the narrative in a desperate attempt to save their hero.
The media’s love for Northam was earned. It started on a radio show as he mused about ending the life of unborn children in the third trimester if they were accidentally born alive mid-abortion.
He was cool as a cucumber as he described the baby’s last few moments. “The infant would be delivered,” he said in a singsong manner. “The infant would be kept comfortable.”
The “infant.”
Gross.

Isn't it refreshing that when someone from a political party is identified as having racist tendencies or at the very least a lack of good judgement and honesty, that other members in that party don't form a wagon around the person and defend them and instead call for them to resign?

He's totally cowering after they gave him a stern warning that this is a time for some tough self-reflection, and an opportunity for growth.
This guy actually ran a campaign where one of his ads portrayed the opponent (whom he defeated) as a racist. The ad showed a car (suggesting the driver was the opponent) driving down the streets with the Confederate flag hanging off the trunk.
Cue Alannis Morrisette......"and who would of thought, it figures..."

These "various cronies" as you call them happen to be the same people now as they were then. Clapper, Mueller, Brennan, etc...a point lost on you apparently.
These people are the very swamp that made up the WMD story. They are entrenched to keep the lies going. They have every reason to oust an outsider, private citizen, nationalist POTUS.
James Robert Clapper Jr.[1] (born March 14, 1941[2]) is a retired lieutenant general in the United States Air Force and is the former Director of National Intelligence. Clapper has held several key positions within the United States Intelligence Community. He served as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) from 1992 until 1995. He was the first director of defense intelligence within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence(2004) and simultaneously the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence.
Robert Swan Mueller III; born August 7, 1944) is an American attorney and current Special Counsel of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and related matters. He served as the sixth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from 2001 to 2013.

I think he should resign for advocating the killing of babies during labor and delivery.
But this is also karma for his supporters running this racist campaign ad during his race for governor:

That was the ad I was referring to in my post above. I just saw a snippet of it. I thought it was the trunk of a car, and it's a truck bed instead.
I wonder what the opponent that lost, and the people that voted for the actual racist based on this ad are thinking now?

Oh I'm sure he's upset.
Also, this is another example of the extreme media bias.

So you're trying to claim that those guys you listed were responsible for the totally phony "intelligence" that Cheney and Bush used to justify their bogus invasion of Iraq
If so, please go check your facts

I don't know for a fact that he is a racist but since we do know that Trump is a racist and he hasn't resigned because of it I see no requirement for this guy to resign
Given the double standard in US politics where the Dems fold when a scandal happens and Republican don't (and often rally around their guy as some kind of victim) I do expect that Northam will be forced out by his own party

Va. Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax denies sex assault allegation from 2004
By Theresa Vargas February 4, 2019
Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax issued a statement early Monday denying a sexual assault allegation that appeared on the same conservative website that posted a racist photograph from Gov. Ralph Northam’s medical school yearbook page.
“Lt. Governor Fairfax has an outstanding and well-earned reputation for treating people with dignity and respect,” read the statement from his chief of staff and communications director. “He has never assaulted anyone — ever — in any way, shape or form.”
The statement came after the online publication, Big League Politics, ran a story under the headline: “UPDATE: Stanford Fellow Hints At Possible Justin Fairfax Sex Assault.”
The story was based on a private Facebook post from the woman, which the publication said it had obtained from a friend of hers who had permission to share it.
In their response, Fairfax’s staff members, pointed out that the woman first approached The Washington Post with the allegation shortly before he was inaugurated and The Post “carefully investigated the claim for several months.”
The woman approached The Post after Fairfax won election in November 2017 and before he was inaugurated in January 2018, saying she felt like she had an obligation to speak out.
The woman and Fairfax first met in Boston at the 2004 Democratic national convention.
During a conversation, the two realized they had a mutual friend. It was that commonality, she recalled, that put her at ease enough that on the afternoon Fairfax asked her to walk with him to his hotel room to pick up some papers, she thought nothing of joining him.
Fairfax and the woman told different versions of what happened in the hotel room with no one else present. The Washington Post could not find anyone who could corroborate either version. The Post did not find “significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegations,” as the Fairfax statement incorrectly said.
Fairfax (D), who was not married at the time, has denied her account through his attorneys and described the encounter as consensual.
The woman described a sexual encounter that began with consensual kissing and ended with a forced act that left her crying and shaken. She said Fairfax guided her to the bed, where they continued kissing, and then at one point she realized she could not move her neck. She said Fairfax used his strength to force her to perform oral sex.
The Washington Post, in phone calls to people who knew Fairfax from college, law school and through political circles, found no similar complaints of sexual misconduct against him. Without that, or the ability to corroborate the woman’s account — in part because she had not told anyone what happened — The Washington Post did not run a story.
She said she never told anyone about what happened at the time or in the years that followed until shortly before she approached The Post.
The Post reached out to the woman again Monday and she has not returned messages. The Post generally does not name alleged victims of sexual assault without their explicit permission.
One person who knew both the woman and Fairfax and spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the nature of the allegations, said he felt torn when he first heard the accusations. He spoke highly of both.
“It doesn’t sound like anything he would do,” he said. “It doesn’t sound like anything she would lie about.”

They either knew about it or intentionally failed to vet him.
I guarantee Repubs had the info, or had solid sources that it existed and could be produced. This happened way too quickly after his abortion remarks.
I actually think this should be Republican strategy going forward. If they know they don't have a great chance of winning, they should just sit on all of the dirt they have, and wait for something like his being ok with terminating killing a newborn to come up, and then pile this stuff on. Even more shit is coming out about his racism still. CNN is reporting it, but refuses to put Democrat(ic) in front of his name, knowing most blacks will equate racism with Republican as that's the narrative they're being force fed.
Blacks wanna keep their heads in the sand, and believe us conservatives hate based on skin color, and that the Dems have all this shit on Trump while having nothing to show 2 years into an investigation? Fine. Let them have it proved to them the hard way. Sooner or later everyone's gonna figure it out.

Poll: Half of Va. Dems Still Approve of Northam Despite Yearbook Scandal
(http://i0.wp.com/www.nationalreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ralph-northam-speaks.jpg?w=2000&ssl=1)
Half of Virginia Democrats still approve of Governor Ralph Northam’s job performance despite the recent emergence of a racist photo from his 1984 medical-school-yearbook page, according to a Politico/Morning Consult poll released Monday.
Northam’s net approval has plummeted 41 points among all Virginia voters and 38 points among Virginia Democrats in the two days since the emergence of the yearbook photo, which features one man in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan uniform.
The share of all Virginia voters who approve of Northam’s performance fell from 48 percent before the yearbook controversy to just 29 percent in the new survey, which relied on 291 respondents and was conducted this weekend. The percentage of voters who disapprove of Northam’s performance increased from 26 percent to 48 percent across the same two polls. Among Democrats, the governor’s approval declined 20 percentage points from 70 to 50 percent during that time. Northam’s approval rating among Republicans slid from 31 percent pre-controversy to just 19 percent post-controversy.
When the photo emerged Friday, Northam initially apologized and conceded that he did in fact appear in the image. He then backtracked during a Saturday afternoon press conference in which he denied appearing in the photo but admitted to “darkening his face” for a Michael Jackson costume while in college.

Serious question for you guys.
Obviously, both are wrong to do. However, what would be more offensive (and why?)....if he's the man in blackface, or if he's the guy in the Klan outfit? Curious to know race of those that answer if willing as well.
Me: White, and I think the Klan outfit is more offensive.
Reasoning: Many white people were wanting to be like Michael Jackson/Jordan, rappers, break-dancers, etc. during the years I was growing up at the same time as Black culture started becoming mainstream. During that time shows like All in the Family, I Love Lucy, 3 Stooges, and old movies with the Rat Pack were on (re-runs) and I remember blackface being on antenna t.v. back then. KKK wardrobe was well known to be hateful then, and not something you would dress up in as a joke!

The lie/denial is why he should resign.
Funny, how my party have all come out demanding his resignation.
The other party? We'll take away Steve Kings committee assignments.
Ralph Northam is/was a dick. But, poor taste in humor 34 years ago doesn't necessarily define who he is today.
That being said, where in the fuck was the vetting process? And whomever was involved in vetting this guy should be out of a job.

Why wasn't he racist before he ran for president? Why did the black community award him so many awards for his involvement? LOL, take your hater shades off and think for yourself.
-
Some politicians are so incredibly dumb. Northam apologized, making a silly excuse and then proceeded to retract it with a new explanation on the very next day. Then he admits to wearing "black face" at a later event while impersonating (had to ask his assistant who) Michael Jackson. this cluck doesn't have the commonsense or intelligence to be Virgina's governor. He should be too embarrassed to show his face in public and he should step down and crawl away in shame.
On the other-hand, it's ridiculous how overblown the public reaction is. Over-the-top with indigence folks are lining up for their 15 minutes of media fame. Have we Americans nothing better to do?

Trump? Nah, the Republicans should be calling for him to step down because of sooooo many other things, but racist... nah. He may be, but I don't know it. IF the Virginian governor had a tape surface during the campaign that had him saying what Trump said to Billy Bush on that bus, no way in hell he would have gotten elected. IF Steve King was a Democrat I think he would have gotten more than a slap on the rest and removed from a committee. No widespread outcry from Republicans over Pat Meehan when he used something like $40 grand of taxpayer money to settle a lawsuit for harassment.

I'd like to see a list of everyone that used tax payers money to settle personal issues. They should all be fired.
BTW, I don't think this guy should step down, I hope he stands his ground and stays.

On day one, when he first apologized, owned it and said he was sorry, he understood how this shook peoples faith in him, etc... I would have given him a pass. Since then he has demonstrated to me he doesn't belong in that job.
-
I'm in agreement with Tatum as to why I feel he should step down. He doesn't even mention some of the new stuff that's out, but does show one clip I hadn't heard about. Go to 2:20 to start if you wanna skip the rest, but that part is important to see.

He lost me when he said Democrats haven't said anything except maybe a tweet from an assistant that he resign. Frankly that's ALL I've been hearing from Democrats is that he should step down.

I've not seen the same, but I'll be honest in that I only watch CNN clips when they do something like the Chief Awol stunt, or attack Trump to see what they're sayin, so we're clearly checking different sites. No biggie.
Let's put that aside. Just go to around 2:27 to start to listen and watch. If you won't do that to see for yourself, I'll just tell you what's there.
The Governor was on an apparent debate type show on local tv against his opponent...a black man. Black opponent turns to him extending his hand to shake as a cordial gesture to begin. Not only would the Governor not shake his hand, he refused to even look at or acknowledge him. That's hard to defend Agnostic.

And now another virginia Democrat - the AG - has his own race problems.

I think it was Amazing Lucas, but I'm not 100%. There is a clip from his news conference where he's talking about the shoe polish and Michael Jackson contest he did. He proudly proclaims he won. (dumb, but wait..) A reporter asks him if he can still do the moon walk. Northam immediately looks down side to side to see if there is enough room to do the moonwalk (dumber, but keep waiting...), and right before he makes the decision to do it his wife checks his ass (she what? keep waiting....) He then looks back up and disappointingly states "..my wife says this is an inappropriate time" :o
I dream I was creative enough to make this shit up people ;D

“Fairfax — who is line to become governor if Northam resigns — has repeatedly denied her allegations, saying that the encounter was consensual and that he is the victim of a strategically timed political smear.”
Where are the “I Believe Her brigade” “She’s a woman she’s telling the truth”
Ohh it just happens to be a Strategically times political smear ::)
Hmmm and Dr Fords accusations weren’t.

I'm not defending him. I don't know the context of the conversation right before the hand shake thing, but unless the other guy was saying his wife was ugly he probably should have shaken his hand. I think the guy ought to resign. Ive been seeing a lot of democrats say the same thing and are pretty irritated he is stalling

Glad to read you are not a blind follower of the left. I found the other clip I mentioned about him actually considering doing the moonwalk during his press conference to deny his racism. This guy is dumb as a box of rocks. I'm kinda pissed his wife was there as the clip would have been truly epic vs. just hilarious as it ended up being.

I'm as far left as anyone on this board. He needs to fucking go. Yesterday. Also, pretty much every prominent democrat I know of has called for the same thing. This isn't Al Franken (at the time a comedian) joking around with LeCunt Tweeden. This is blackface and klan costumes.

This is getting outta hand. Did you leave out the bottom part of the story, bcuz you missed it or it just didn't pertain to the blackface stuff being discussed?
"Then, within hours, Vanessa Tyson, the woman whose sexual assault allegations against Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax governor surfaced earlier this week, issued a detailed statement saying Fairfax forced her to perform oral sex on him in 2004 during the Democratic National Convention in Boston."
If Northam resigns, this is who and what they're getting. :-[

Edited to add full statement https://www.foxnews.com/politics/read-vanessa-tysons-full-statement-on-allegations-against-justin-fairfax
Story https://www.foxnews.com/politics/virginia-lt-gov-justin-fairfax-sexual-assault-accuser-releases-statement-detailing-allegations
"Tyson explained that on July 28, 2004, Fairfax invited her to accompany him on a “quick errand to retrieve documents from his room in a nearby hotel.”
“Given our interactions up to that time, I had no reason to feel threatened and agreed to walk with him to his hotel,” she said. “I stood in the entryway of the room and after he located the documents, he walked over and kissed me.”
Tyson said that while she was “surprised by his advance, it was not unwelcome,” and she “kissed him back,” but had “no intention of taking my clothes off or engaging in sexual activity.”
“What began as consensual kissing quickly turned into a sexual assault. Mr. Fairfax put his hand behind my neck and forcefully pushed my head towards his crotch,” she recalled. “Only then did I realize that he had unbuckled his belt, unzipped his pants, and taken out his penis. He then forced his penis into my mouth.”
“Utterly shocked and terrified, I tried to move my head away, but could not because his hand was holding down my neck and he was much stronger than me,” she said. “As I cried and gagged, Mr. Fairfax forced me to perform oral sex on him. I cannot believe, given my obvious distress, that Mr. Fairfax thought this forced sexual act was consensual.”
She added: “To be very clear, I did not want to engage in oral sex with Mr. Fairfax and I never gave him any form of consent. Quite the opposite. I consciously avoided Mr. Fairfax for the remainder of the Convention and I never spoke to him again.” "
BTW, victim is also a Democrat so it's not a Republican motive here

CNN: Sadness, disbelief and disgust: Virginia politics plunges deeper into chaos as Dems worry
CNN ^ | February 6, 2019 | Dan Merica and Ryan Nobles
Posted on 2/7/2019, 2:58:21 AM by Zakeet
Virginia politics descended further into chaos on Wednesday, and Democrats in the capital grew more dismayed by the possibility that a trio of scandals involving their top three statewide officials had laid waste to years of work building up the Democratic Party in the commonwealth.
The controversies have created a pseudo-standoff between scandal-plagued Gov. Ralph Northam, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and Attorney General Mark Herring, all of whom are fighting to hang on to their jobs as public outrage grows around each of them.
None of them wants to resign first, creating a scenario where all of them could hold on to their positions because of the utter chaos around the Capitol. That, said a longtime Democratic operative, would not be good for the party.

Top Virginia Democrats imperiled by blackface, sex assault scandals
RICHMOND, Va., Feb 6 (Reuters) - The political crisis in Virginia deepened on Wednesday when the attorney general admitted to wearing blackface in the 1980s at a college party, becoming the state's third high-ranking Democrat caught up in scandal.
Governor Ralph Northam was already fighting for his political life over a racist photo from his 1984 medical school yearbook that emerged last week, and the lieutenant governor sought on Wednesday to fend off allegations of sexual misconduct.
Attorney General Mark Herring, 57, who has expressed gubernatorial ambitions and called four days ago for Northam to resign, admitted in a statement he donned brown face paint at a party in 1980 to impersonate a rapper.
Northam, 59, acknowledged last weekend to having worn blackface - a practice dating to 19th century minstrel shows caricaturing slaves - in 1984 to impersonate Michael Jackson.
His admission came after a conservative media website published a photo on Friday from Northam's page in his 1984 medical school year book showing one man wearing blackface beside another masked figure in robes of the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan.
After initially saying he was one of the two depicted in the photo, Northam changed his story and said neither was him.
A separate scandal engulfing Democratic Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, 39, who is black and would succeed Northam were he to step down, intensified on Wednesday when a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her at the Democratic National Convention in 2004.
Herring, who like Northam is white, is second in line to succeed the governor as attorney general.
THIRD IN LINE
The simultaneous controversies embroiling the top three-elected politicians in the executive branch of Virginia's government raised the unlikely prospect of Democrats losing the governorship to a Republican. Kirk Cox, Republican speaker of Virginia's House of Delegates, is third in the constitutional line of succession.
Cox, 61, a former high school teacher who has served in the state's Republican-controlled House since 1990, issued a statement on Wednesday saying the controversies in the executive branch "are disturbing" but "will be resolved in due course." In the meantime, lawmakers would focus on budget deliberations and "hundreds of bills remaining before us."
Legislators otherwise kept a low profile on Wednesday, ducking reporters as they left the state capitol in Richmond following Wednesday's legislative session.
Northam has remained out of public view since Saturday, when he held a news conference to address the furor over his yearbook pictures, which sparked calls for his resignation from fellow Democrats in Virginia, a key swing state in the 2020 presidential race.
Civil rights groups and at least five Democratic candidates for the White House also have urged Northam to step down.
Despite the Democratic Party's current zero tolerance for bigotry and sexual misconduct, Democrats might be motivated to rally behind Northam if faced with the prospect of Republicans suddenly assuming the governorship.
SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATION DENIED
In his statement, Cox singled out the allegations against Fairfax as "extremely serious." The lieutenant governor has acknowledged knowing his accuser but on Wednesday repeated his assertion their encounter was consensual.
The woman, Vanessa Tyson, in a statement issued by Washington law firm Katz, Marshall & Banks, said that Fairfax forced her to perform oral sex on him in a hotel room.
"I cannot believe, given my obvious distress, that Mr. Fairfax thought this forced sexual act was consensual," Tyson said in the statement, which was published by multiple U.S. media outlets.
The same website that disclosed Northam's yearbook photo was the first to report Tyson's allegations on Monday.

I can't keep up with the pace of what's happening with that party and specifically in VA, but if I remember right if Northam steps down, and the LT Gov steps down; the next in line is in some controversy too. I believe blackface as well, but not 100 ???

The Latest: Sponsor backs off fast-track impeachment [Virginia]
AP ^ | 2/11/19
Posted on 2/11/2019, 7:45:10
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Latest on scandals involving Virginia’s Democratic leaders (all times local):
7 a.m.
A Virginia lawmaker is now suggesting he won’t move forward Monday with plans to introduce an impeachment bill seeking the ouster of Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax.
Democratic Del. Patrick Hope had said he wanted to introduce articles of impeachment Monday against Fairfax after two women recently accused the Democrat of sexual assault in the 2000s. Fairfax has vehemently denied the claims and called for authorities, including the FBI, to investigate.
Hope said on Twitter early Monday that he had circulated a draft of the impeachment action with his colleagues and received what he called “an enormous amount of sincere and thoughtful feedback.” Hope now says “additional conversations ... need to take place before anything is filed.”
Impeachment was always unlikely to happen during this legislative session, but lawmakers could revisit it later this year if the political crisis continues.
