3. He should not resign.

All of us have stuff in our past that we are not proud of.

I read some extensive posts by you defending Tulsi Gabbard tonight. You made some excellent points, some that I agreed with, some that I didn't. But Tulsi Gabbard at 22 year old was a virulent homophobe, that was 15 years ago, Northam dressed in Blackface 35 years ago. So, if we hold to the standard you seem to be implying in your post to this OP, Tulsi Gabbard should be disqualified for being a homophobe 15 years ago, even if she has validly changed for the better since then.
