Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has scheduled a 2:30 p.m. EST news conference to address a racist photo on his medical school yearbook page. But he is resisting demands for his resignation.
maybe he's going to announce he's running for President?

also that's his fucking medical school yearbook page? :dead :dead :dead :dead

actually that should just be everyones go to for the next year during any scandal, announce you're running for President!

then you can quietly drop out later when you need to distract from the next one

Northam told the source he was in touch with some of his former Eastern Virginia Medical School colleagues, who said they believed many of the pictures in the yearbook were mixed up.

Northam did not recall the picture being taken, he told the source, and said he was not involved in the production of the yearbook.

"I don't think it's me, because this is such a normal thing to do that it wouldn't really stick with me. Also someone might have put the wrong photo on my page in a fit of 1980's irony poisoning, but maybe I never saw the yearbook and if anyone else did nobody told me because again, this was such a normal thing to do."

"Our yearbook was a disaster. I think some editors and students wanted the yearbook to be some combination of Roots, Mississippi Burning, Amistad and White Man's Burden which were all recent movies at that time. Many of us went along in the yearbook to the point of absurdity. This past week, my friends and I have cringed when we read about it and talked to each other.”

I think Ed Gillespie and Corey Stewart really owe Northam an apology, after they smeared him as not showing proper respect to the state's confederate heritage.
