I need to be convinced Seth even exists

LATE LEARNER

Northam said he only realized the Michael Jackson blackface was offensive during a conversation about blackface with a young campaign staffer.

“I have a very close friend who was my assistant during the campaign. He really did a good job of communicating to me why that's so offensive. And it was actually during that conversation, I said, ‘You know, Seth, I put some shoe polish on my face, I competed in a dance contest dressed up as Michael Jackson. And I said, ‘I assume you probably would think that's offensive.’ He said, ‘I would.’ And I said, ‘You know what, Seth, I appreciate you being open with me. I apologize for what I've done in the past. And I can promise you I'll never do that again in the future.’"

1. Gotta agree.

This idiot is trying so hard, but he is who he is.

And it ain’t pretty.

2. "Seth" is the invisible friend that retroactively advises

Northam on these matters.

So he is not available to be interviewed.
