Copies exist, and I am sure that SOMEONE has gotten hold of them. They may even be on line somewhere.

This has been all over the media, and probably some were from other sources than the one pic. As a matter of fact, I've seen pics of other pages, also showing people in blackface. So, there's that.

What about all the refugee children who are now "lost" by our government and it's Oh well, who cares?

He simply made it worse.

As Dana Milbank quipped, 'Northam has resigned; he just doesn't know it yet."

Democratic leadership is unified: he needs to step down.
