Virginia governor's role in blackface yearbook photo unclear, school says

NORFOLK, Va. - Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s former medical school was unable to determine his role in a racist photograph that appeared on his 1984 yearbook page, according to a report released on Wednesday following a three-month inquiry.

That led his alma mater, the Eastern Virginia Medical School, to hire the law firm McGuireWoods to investigate how the photo appeared on Northam’s yearbook page. “I felt it was important to take accountability for the photo’s presence on my page, but rather than providing clarity, I instead deepened pain and confusion,” his statement said.Northam, a white 59-year-old former U.S. Army doctor, resisted February calls to step down from within his own party in Virginia - seen as a key swing state for the 2020 presidential election - as well as from at least five Democratic presidential candidates.

Northam was interviewed twice as part of the inquiry, and said he was “positive” he was not in the photograph and did not know who was. Northam told the lawyers that he did submit the other pictures that appear on his page along with the printed quotation.

Forget his school year photo, but has been a racist in his public life? If not, move on please.

Michael Jackson was white.

Only when you're a Democrat is it unclear that you were in an uncomfortable photo after admitting that you were in fact in that photo. The pathetic lows that Democrats & the media (but I repeat myself) have sunk to should be embarrassing.

What was his 'role' in selecting that photo for his yearbook page? Accountability is a lost trait evidently 🤔

I guess in the era of not respect and or morals. He can get away with such. and that's thanks to REPUBLICANS and donald trump!

Looks like he got the Hillary treatment

Move on.

Oh please...

his 'role'? is this the onion? he took a racist photo.

Probe inconclusive on governor's racist yearbook picNORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A law firm investigating a racist picture of a man in blackface standing next to someone in Ku Klux Klan clothing on Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam&39;s medical school yearbook page says it&39;s unable to determine whether the governor is in the picture. Translation: it's him. Seems like a solid use of time and resources. Another progressive liberal cover-up. The best and easiest job is a Democrat politician. No matter what you do or what you say, as long as you are a progressive, you will not be held accountable. It’s as simple as that. liberalprivilege
