There is an onslaught of Democrats and liberal groups calling for Northam to resign.
It doesn’t matter if he is a Republican or a Democrat. This behavior was racist and unconscionable. Governor Northam should resign.

Leaders are called to a higher standard, and the stain of racism should have no place in the halls of government. The Governor of Virginia should step aside so the public can heal and move forward together.

SO this presents a question – are they tossing him under the bus because of the photo OR did the Democrats themselves expose this in order to get rid of him and avoid the insane infanticide controversy he brought up? Hmmmm.

BREAKING: The President and CEO of the NAACP has called on racist Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam to resign

If @RalphNortham is one of the two people pictured in the highly disturbing, horrific photo wearing either blackface or a KKK hood – or if he selected or approved of its use on his yearbook page — he should immediately resign. There are no excuses for such a racist display.

This is not a clear response. The people of Virginia deserve more. Honestly, if this were a Republican - especially Trump - we would be calling for his resignation. Ralph Northam needs to resign. https://t.co/4s1zodLP5O

There’s no way he survives this. I say he resigns tonight, if not tomorrow.
