Northam backtracks on whether he is in racist photo

Embattled Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has said privately he does not think he is in the racist photo from his 1984 medical school yearbook, according to a new report.

A fellow Virginia Democrat told the Associated Press Northam said he doesn’t believe he is in the photo — a departure from his initial statement apologizing for being the photo, which shows a man in blackface and a man wearing Ku Klux Klan robes and hood — and will not resign.

Northam, who was expected to hold a press conference Saturday morning, will appear at 2:30 p.m. to address the situation, according to CNN correspondent Ryan Nobles.

The AP reported Northam is making calls to garner support. State and national Democrats had mounted calls Friday and Saturday for Northam to resign, including from the state Democratic Party and key state legislative Democratic caucuses.

    Sleazeball. But I don’t know that it really matters. Nothing bad will happen to Northram because he is well protected by his party and the various evil groups which control it. We can only hope that a much Higher Power will exact His own punishment on him someday.
