If the governor of Virginia should resign from office for wearing blackface, then so should the state’s attorney general, by his own logic.

Northam was wearing the blackface before he wasn’t wearing the blackface... Whereas Herring owned it. So Herring should lead the way...

let’s all quit our jobs because some blacks are the most sensitive mother ####ers i have ever heard of in ALL OF HISTORY.

I’m of Italian descent.

I couldn’t give a FLYING #### if someone dressed as a gangster and his nickname was GANGSTER WOP.

Cause IT DOESN’T AFFECT MY LIFE!!!!

too many real ####ing things do and they ARE REAL ####ING issues like bills and health and a million other things we CAN ALL list here.

Give me a ####ing break already.

I LOATHE dems.

But being tasteless (if one thinks he was) isn’t a reason to be forced from office.

How does Herring demand the governor resign on Saturday and confess to the same offense on Wednesday... My only guess is that blackface evidence materialized Monday or Tuesday.

Maybe he got more and more afraid it might leak out or be discovered.

We treat minorities like Children and that is why we have tens of millions of big babies on our hands.

I’d tell them to impeach me or FO. This nonsense needs to end. Resign for wearing blackface in the 80s in college vs last week’s discussion of child murder? Dims need to reassess their priorities.

Scorecard thus far, IMHO:

1. Baby killer/racist Gov. Northam: Dem insider

2. Rapist/misogynist Lt. Gov. Fairfax: Dem AA outsider

3. Racist AG Herring (and 2021 Gov. campaign hopeful): Dem insider

4. House Speaker Kirk Cox: Republican

Right blackface was not breaking any law. It makes Republicans look bad when they join the PC lynch mob. It’s bad for the country acting like some one who received over a million votes should resign. It puts the bullseye on every American. I hope Northam resist. I’m tired of garbage like this. It has nothing to do with today’s issues.

I do not support the Dem party but if Northam resist. It will be great.

Someone needs to post photos and a list of politicians and celebrities that have done the blackface routine. Rumer has it Hillary did so one time. It’d be interesting.

All Democrats should resign. Every one of them is too stupid to live.

Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel both wore blackface. Fire Them immediately and take their coats.

I think we should let the Democrats stew in their own juices. They created this atmosphere of hyper-sensitivity, let them pay for it with war amongst themselves. Ha, Ha!

I agree, in general, on two counts. One, this was 35 YEARS ago, in college! Two. If I am black, and someone wore blackface - THIRTY-FIVE years ago, so what? Maybe its a joke. Maybe its a tasteless joke. Maybe they are lampooning the 1910's and 20's and 30's when it was more widely used by performers. I remember Laugh-in occasionally had sketches with performers wearing KKK hoods. Didn't Ted Danson wear blackface at a costume party? People have made fun of MY heritage once or twice I am told. I am Polish.

That having been said, I do so enjoy Democrats being swallowed up in the own self-righteousness.

Ted Danson comes to mind and apparently Whoopie didn’t mind as she was with him in the picture.
