Only after Trump and Cavanagh

How about being a party of fair minded, forgiving, practical people who realize that the actions of a teen don’t define his life. How about a party where hypocrisy doesn’t rule. How about losing the holier than though party label.

The Leftwing Radical Dictionary redefines Diversity; a subtle way of saying there are too many White Folks that occupy a Group, Organization, or Government. MAGA Trump2020

Take his power, such as , head of committees, sanctions and censured punitively . He will feel it if it hits his wallet hard . It has to be huge for it to hurt.

They’re the party of division!

Demokkkrats.

They let this clown serve all his life....

My prediction is he resigns Monday or Tuesday

Finally has reported something of value.

Most Dems In power have asked him to resign/they can’t carry him out/not sure anyone is left to say resign

What do you think they've been trying to do the last few days? Jesus Christ

The only significant Democrat that HASN'T called for him to resign is LGJustinFairfax and that's for the very obvious optics concerns. He did denounce the actions, though. There is this, though:

WE HAVE BEEN TRYING NON-STOP. What do you want us to do, kidnap him?

No they Don’t need to

Hint, hint: Democrats ARE the party of diversity, regardless. And Dems are unified in thinking Northam should resign. Your analysis is obvious and useless. clickbait gimmeabreak moveonalready yourewastingourtime

Oh your the ones who hide this stuff all the time. You are all lying and a joke

You don’t get to be the decider. Just the FakeNews provider.

Lacking authority, exactly how do they “push him out?” Kick him out of the party? Divide the next election ticket and let a republican win? He deserves censure certainly but if he won’t resign democrats need to find a viable candidate to run against him in the next election.

DEMS are the party of BIGOTRY not diversity!

He should learn to code

Judge people for who they are now and not for who they were. What he did was offensive. He did not hurt anyone. No feelings don't count. There is no right to not be offended.

Analysis: If the Democrats want to support late term abortions, they have no chance in hell in winning anything! BabyKillers

I suspect many are just hiding their own racist acts by blaming the senator.

All you perfect people who have never done anything wrong in your entire life have all the right to complain about him, everybody else, shut the hell up

Because he wants to kill babies. The black face thing is bad but not death

This call to negative action by so many so called liberals gives me pause. Who will survive in this environment. Let he who is without sin throw the first stone. Is this what stands righteous in America today.

How about if they just want to be decent people. They’ve spoken out and he will go soon, he can’t stay. But Republicans should hold their party to a high standard too. Although we both know that’s a bridge too far for them.

Look who the democrats have in their party compared to the republicans large white male representation

Any ideas how? Drag him out by the hair? Flash bang?

DEFINITELY!

The press conference was jaw droppingly bad. He would have been better coming out saying “Well hey you got me. I’m a racist.”

Sure, but it needs to drag on for as long as possible.

They're working on it. It's been what two days?

Dems ARE THE PARTY OF DIVERSITY. And yes, Northam has to go....

So diversity doesn’t include the people who do not agree ? Diversity means all kinds of people.

He is an embarrassment.

They can do whatever they want, there’s no way to wash this stink off, good luck with that

What if it wasn’t Northam? Does that matter to you? The truth should.

We ignore Trumps kkk love...yet...condemn this guy?

So, name the Democrats that hasn't asked for him to resign. As an elected official if he didn't resign then the legislature must impeach.

How about good ole Cindy Hyde -Smith, wait she’s what Republicans believe in:racism

What ever

We are, dumbass. Which Democrat stands with him? Dems purge our party of disgusting ppl: Weiner, Franken, Schneiderman, Spitzer. Republicans elevate them to all 3 branches of govt: legislative (King, Hyde-Smith, McConnell); judicial (Kavanaugh); & executive (Trump).

How? They’ve asked him to resign. And what about the Republicans, who have done nothing about that most current racist Steve King? Why is this a 1-way street?

Right, cuz otherwise all the voters will think that it’s the republicans who are all about diversity, looking at all they’ve done for blacks, Hispanics, women and the LGBQ community. SMH. Where do you people come up with this crap?

What is “diversity”?

Oh for Gods sake. The party of diversity? This guy supports late term abortion and is racist regardless of his party. Why does this always have to do w politics.

Ok and also senatemajldr

Democrats returning to their roots as the party of the KKK...

He was a young boy cut him some slack

Democrats ARE the party of diversity

If you put his yr book picture & his comments on making newborn babies 'comfortable' before executing them; I get the impression Northam is ok with killing newborn BLACK babies. Kind of like Margaret Sanger, who the Dems adore. So, where's the problem.

WAPOO said this? Wow.

Bboone24Brandon Yeah, ok, fine, but you need to push King and Trump out if you really care

The “Klanbake” 1924 Democratic Party National Convention

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT THEY NEED TO PUSH OUT PELOSI, SCHUMER, CRAZY MAXINE WATERS, POCAHOTAS, SPARTACUS, CAMILLE HARRIS, AND LIST GOES ON AND ON!!!!

Yup. Since he was a member of the KKK? Nope. Since he was a Neo-Nazi? Nope. Since he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, 34 YEARS AGO? Yep. More purges are needed for the good of..... Who? Yep. Donald J. Trump.

They don't want diversity. They all have the I be gets mine attitude. Anything for power. Sickening

Yes. Push him out as hard as Franken was pushed. 😏

A lot of Democrats agree. And the Republicans should do the same with their racist members.

No shit, Sherlock. We want him to go but he's decided to be a squatter. Eviction on the way.

OMG ... WTF?!?! The Dems have all called him out ! Northam is changing lanes faster than Dale Earnhardt .🤪 🏎

Agreed, but where are the think pieces saying the same about the GOP and SteveKingIA and POTUS? Why the double-standard? Both parties claim inclusivity but only one is held to that standard by the media

Agreed. This cannot stand.

Democrats were always inclusive to the KKK in the past, what is your point?

....most democrats have called for his resignation

Let him stay. Controversy is just what the GOP needs.

They are pushing. He is pulling a Corbyn tho.

Who's saying anything else?

What a blatantly bull crap thing to publish, as you know they’ve been tryin to do that for days now! You really should get a clue...

Unless !

And if the Republicans want to be the party of diversity they need to push Trump out! Trump's transgressions are severely worse than Northam! When something new is shinning, Northam, then the media runs to it! Instead of staying focused on Trump you give him a pass! FY

Lol but southern strategy!!!!

if you wanna look like Michael Jackson, you will need to paint your face white, not black.

.TheDemocrats are trying their hardest to paint Republicans as racists though.

the GOP charwoman has been chanting all day because this hit job didn't work and NO we ARE the party of diversity and DIVERSITY doesn't mean only shades of brown IT MEANS ALL SHADES OF WHITE TOO LEAVE NORTHAM ALONE

Analysis: a shitload more Democrats have already called for Northam to resign than Republicans have called for Trump to resign over much more egregious behavior.

As soon as the white nationalist in the White House pays a single consequence for his devout beliefs and actions

They have diversity.. The blackface and klan hood demographics are all theirs.. 😏

clairlemon No they don't. By doing that they would become the party of hatred and unforgiveness.

Kimmel still getting a pass, then?

Genetic diversity is nothing to be proud of. Democratic party is a party of socialist conformists scared to think for themselves.

GovernorVA will do the right thing and resign. At this point he can do much to serve the Commonwealth outside the governor’s office; perhaps by promoting conversations about the past and how to move forward. Racism is in the walls of this country: there’s much work to do.

“If”? We already are, bright eyes.

This is the same party that believes criminals can be reformed but thinks a racist costume is worthy of a life sentence.

We’re trying!

'Analysis' - yeah, sure.

lmao we want him out but he bein stubborn

HE LOOKS MORE LIKE CROOKED HILLARY

Now why would the party of slavery, Jim Crow, and the KKK kick him out? He is perfect for the dims.

exactly. I've heard dems accused of falling on our own swords, but I think we simply need to stand up for what we say we stand for. This guy is unfit, even for VA.

We are trying to oust him. He doesn’t want to go

We're trying.

What? Northam's a Democrat? Huh...

It’s unbelievable he has yet to resign or that his resignation is even up for debate.

It's not for lack of trying.

They're trying dammit
