It doesnt matter if he is a Republican or a Democrat. This behavior was racist and unconscionable. Governor Northam should resign.

(3,344 posts)We are not the Republican party!
How the heck can we have Stacey Abrams give the SOTU response when near DC we have this clown as Governor?
We aren't the laughing stocks! Republicans are!

See what I mean?

We saw this with Franken. If this was just some 1984 stupid shit that a clown med. student did as a bad joke at a costume party than I'll look and see if this is a pattern of behavior.

(2,897 posts)It took over 2-3 weeks and 7 more accusers before any Democratic Senator went on the record calling for his resignation.

(1,332 posts)If Brett Kavanaugh could be appointed to the Supreme Court after all his high school and college antics, I don't see why Ralph Northam should be
condemned for a stupid picture in his college yearbook. Democrats have a tendency to eat their own.

(2,897 posts)It's not eating one's own. It's realizing the political reality of who you answer to. Democrats are never going to have the leeway that republicans have with issues concerning race and women because the base of the republican party is not women and minorities. Now had Kavanaugh paid for an abortion or two, pissed on a cross,and burned a flag over Reagan's grave while kneeling for the anthem, then he'd have to answer to evangelical constituents that make up the GOP.
