The Governor of Virginia must believe this investigation into the racist photo in his yearbook vindicates him because he’s now responded to the investigation asserting that he is not in the photo:

Northam: “That being said, I know and understand the events of early February and my response to them have caused hurt for many Virginians and for that, I am sorry…rather than providing clarity, I instead deepened pain and confusion.”

This is absurd. It was in HIS section of the yearbook and plus he’s already admitted it was him:
My fellow Virginians, earlier today I released a statement apologizing for behavior in my past that falls far short of the standard you set for me when you elected me to be your governor. I believe you deserve to hear directly from me. pic.twitter.com/1rSw1oxfrX

Both in statement and in video, he’s admitted he was in the photo.
And now he’s lying to save both his political career and his reputation. What a schmuck!
