.JoyAnnReid: 'Let's be clear, this racist photo was placed in a medical school yearbook, not a high school yearbook, in 1984, the year that Jesse Jackson first ran for president.'

JoyAnnReid Wow no one will pass a vetting. Imagine all the people who called Brazil nuts, ni--er toes! Thirty years ago

JoyAnnReid We are not being asked to consider him for office. He has been duly elected. I say get the facts straight (yes probably ugly). Then sit back quietly and see how you feel in a month. Good thougtful people are swept up in the anger. We cannot govern in chaos. And, we must govern.

JoyAnnReid U are SO quick to sit in condemnation of others don't u think? Are we to tell u to 'GO AWAY' because of all your anti-gay comments in the NOT-so-recent past? Or do u get forgiveness while characters like Northam don't? How much pleasure do u derive from being on your high-horse?

JoyAnnReid People make mistakes. Sometimes bad mistakes. And some grow, change, and apologize. I recall a learned TV commentator who said she was not the person she was a few years ago when she made anti LGBT comments. She apologized and is still on TV.

JoyAnnReid I'm sorry in my opinion there is no excuse he can give that should be excepted or tolerated. We have a government now that goes along with our 'Racist President'. Lets stop with the excuses, because there is none!!

JoyAnnReid If he had come out and stated that agter this had been published he was immediately horrified by his actions and has spent every day since trying his best to make up for it, I think many would have given him the benefit of his words. Unfortunately he appears cluless. Sad

JoyAnnReid Even Maduro says “GO, LEAVE NOW! Get outta here!”

JoyAnnReid Democrats had no problem with this

JoyAnnReid

JoyAnnReid I’m appalled that all Democrats support this hideous behavior....DNC should distance themselves from racists....disgusting

JoyAnnReid The longer the guv holds out, the worse the libs look. This man was their chosen one for VA, and they absolutely raves about him months ago. EggMeetFace

JoyAnnReid HE SHOULD RESIGN, but so too should: Donald J. Trump Cindy Hyde-Smith Mitch McConnell Steve King Kay Ivey Stephen Miller

JoyAnnReid It was college, years ago. Do not throw stones in glass houses

JoyAnnReid I agree he should resign. But I am more disgusted by his approval of killing infants after they have been born.

JoyAnnReid JoyAnnReid Really? I seem to recall you have a past with your views on homosexuality. You got a pass. But no one else is worthy, huh?

JoyAnnReid Joy, so this racist was not a kid, huh? This was a racist grown man like Trump.

JoyAnnReid Love this...Dems tearing each other apart

JoyAnnReid He needs to resign PERIOD! But I just can’t get over the fact that he actually considered Moonwalking 😂 sorry 😐

JoyAnnReid Wow JoyAnnReid is showing everyone just how absolutely ridiculous she is.

JoyAnnReid That was a long time ago.

JoyAnnReid Says the homophobe to the racist.,

JoyAnnReid

JoyAnnReid So if a white kid dresses up as the black panther does that make him racist?

JoyAnnReid Was that the year Jackson made anti-Jewish slurs? What was the year he called Obama the N word and said he'd be casterated? What was the year his organization was sued for anti-gay discrimination?

JoyAnnReid Idk about Northam but my college yearbook came as a package:(yearbook, invitations and cap and gown). p.s. no one in blackface.

JoyAnnReid Governor, you need to resign. You were an adult. And anyway that you could have handled this with grace and maybe and I say maybe made it a learning moment or a forgiving moment is done. You lied, dodged and darted. Just resign

JoyAnnReid MSNBC just reported the Gov.’s nickname listed in a the VMI yearbook was “COON MAN”. 😳. Any further questions regarding whether he should resign?

JoyAnnReid The Democrats are the party of the KKK and Jim Crow.

JoyAnnReid Yet she was forgiven for this:

JoyAnnReid Most screaming about this now weren't even in high school at the time.

JoyAnnReid GovernorVA Resign now. The country needs to heal. You are the problem. Apologies are not enough.

JoyAnnReid Let’s be clear, you need to step down. A democratic is saying this! Please sir, step down!

JoyAnnReid There are variables, beyond biology, as to why we mature at different rates; is this an 'isolated' incident with Northam, or an ongoing pattern? How punitive do you want/need to be...is there no redemption?😲😕

JoyAnnReid Runs in the family...

JoyAnnReid Who?

JoyAnnReid That's been my question: how did that get published in a medical school yearbook, and where do these people practice medicine?

JoyAnnReid That makes it worse because it means his brain was fully developed and he knew exactly what he was doing.

JoyAnnReid Remember when Joy Reid posted homophobic rants on her blog ten years ago? If we’re going to punish Northam for his past, then we need to punish her too. Fair is fair

JoyAnnReid ...and the yearbook is from a MEDICAL SCHOOL, not some fake university like Trump University😡

JoyAnnReid Question is, who is GovernorVA today? Does he ever treat anyone with less than dignity or respect? Does he enact racist policies? IF he was even in photo, not right to PUNISH folks for youthful indiscretion 30+ yrs later (yes youthful! Kids still on parents' insurance age 26)

JoyAnnReid Unfortunately the GOP doesn't have a patent on Racism.....

JoyAnnReid Don’t send the message that a mistake will follow U to the grave. This is a fight Felons go through every day. Thank God for those seeing the error of their ways & makes amends. Allow ppl to learn from past mistakes 2 become a better version of themselves.

JoyAnnReid How 'together' were you at age 24 Joy Photo may not be 'racist' at all. In best light, looks like picture of 'odd couples' Halloween costumes, as in 'look, sworn enemies drinking &partying together'. There's no violence depicted...just looks thoughtless/insensitive to me.

JoyAnnReid I am a Republican & I find this despicable. I never had a slave, never mistreated a black, I never intend to, but thinking someone would think that was funny shows his true character. What he did was awful & embarrassing for people in Va. that do not think that way. He should go.

JoyAnnReid I forgive him for his actions 30 years ago just like I forgive all the racist actions off the past. Let's not forget who supported back of the bus, separate water fountains, white only restaurants and hotels. It's actions now that matter. Our current president lives in the past.

JoyAnnReid Please find out who edited that particular yearbook. That person is responsible for publishing anything that appears in the yearbook. Also, who was the supervisor from the staff who oversaw the yearbook and the publishing. Unacceptable.

JoyAnnReid Everyone makes mistakes. Most do idiotic things at least once in life. Is there a patern here? Has he been a racist doctor? Are we not the sum of our actions?

JoyAnnReid I know it's hard to tell without the customary black shoe polish on his face, but here's an old picture of my son in a Halloween costume. Can you guess who he was dressed as?

JoyAnnReid Didn’t Joy Reid wrote homophobic article not that long ago?

JoyAnnReid Irony alert! homophobic

JoyAnnReid Your statement just illustrates that racism is timeless, like influenza and syphilis.

JoyAnnReid Remember Hillary describing Robert 'Sheets' Byrd as her 'dear friend and mentor'? 'Coon Man' is a fine example of the Party of Jim Crow---KlannyMan

JoyAnnReid The debate of racism will never end. It's more about who's more clever in discrediting the accusations.

courageousgirl2 JoyAnnReid Get this man some glasses!!! He is squinting to see the monitor - he stated it was him in the photo, not sure which, then nope can't be. Now seriously. Is that your mom's drapes in the background or Squees?

JoyAnnReid Joy Reid is verklempt over this? Oh...thats...rich. 😒 The same Joy Reid who made all sorts of homophobic and anti semitic comments on social media, then blamed it on hackers. Example: “adult gay men tend to be attracted to very young, post-pubescent types'

JoyAnnReid

JoyAnnReid How is hell did you Dimms put this guy in power

JoyAnnReid And the sad thing, black media and talk show hosts will try normalizing this behavior rather than putting pressure on white politicians to stand up to bigotry It's not on black folks to force correction, it's white folks that must correct their own !

JoyAnnReid If it’s not him why are people still talking about a 35 year old photo? The media is really annoying at times.

JoyAnnReid A Democrat KKK member segregationist. Damn, that’s never hapoened.

JoyAnnReid Let’s also be clear that Democratic party establishment shunned Jackson and his run.

JoyAnnReid Who submitted those pictures? It isn't like Med. Schools have a yearbook class? Someone paid for the page ~ submitted those 'lifestyle' pictures: in a coat - hat - beside a vette - or in black face w/ a klansman - its not like HS when candids get snapped - its med school in 84'

JoyAnnReid Is anyone asking if there’s any evidence of Northam doing anything racist since then? One can live in a white cultural bubble and be clueless about the offensiveness of wearing black makeup to make your MJ costume more obvious and not be a hateful racist as an ideology

JoyAnnReid then maybe Jesse Jackson political ambition was a partial catalyst for more public shows of racial indignation

JoyAnnReid The Republicans are outrage that this guy is a Democrat. The Democrats are outraged that it happened.

JoyAnnReid Yeah, back when democratic Trump was winning awards for hiring minorities and Jesse and Al loved him.

JoyAnnReid Not surprised one bit that you dont care about his support for infanticide

JoyAnnReid And his defense is he wasn’t in the yearbook picture but he did go to a dance as Michael Jackson in black face. What? Times up. It’s time for him to go.

JoyAnnReid Don't the political partys screen candidates- for exactly this reason?

JoyAnnReid If he is allowed to stay in office then we really know where Virginia stands. Enough said.

JoyAnnReid Did Joy Reid ever find those Russian hackers that left those homophobic tweets? Asking for a friend

JoyAnnReid Well we all know how that Presidential run worked out

JoyAnnReid This 'Jesse Jackson ran for President in 1984' thing is annoying. That doesn't mean America all of a sudden got woke in 1984.

JoyAnnReid Like, that makes it even worse...older than HS age...and then admitting he did it against Jesse Jackson...what the hell?

JoyAnnReid This is the same guy that when he ran for Governor had an add against his opponent where a guy In a red hat with his opponents bumper sticker drove around a black neighborhood in a truck, looking for kids to run over.. HOW IRONIC..

JoyAnnReid As a Democrat and fierce advocate for the BlueWave, this man needs to step down. He's a despicable liar.

JoyAnnReid Isn't joy a homophobe?

JoyAnnReid

JoyAnnReid The time and place are irrelevant, the bad judgement and attitude are.

JoyAnnReid Resign... Now .. its gonna cost you more later!

JoyAnnReid racism was running rampant back then in the south Joy JoyAnnReid things are much better now but still racism exists

JoyAnnReid So much for the “parties switching” 😂
