Sorry, Northam. No take backs.

Own your past. Be honest. That’s at least respectable. I’d even give it a pass given that he doesn’t seem to have had a racist history beyond stuff from 35+ years ago.

But you don’t get to apologize for being in a photo then take it back. Time to go.

A full term of supporting Democratic and progressive legislation would cut the floor out from under right-Wing partisans still waving a photo that would rightly be considered yesterday’s news.


My regards to the spudnikki working at Vladimir Vladimirovich’s troll farms who’ve been working tirelessly for the Rodina by acting as muses for the naifs trying to get Northam to quit.

he did a long time ago.

Backtracking now just makes him a liar.

Still don't like the rush to judgement, better to let things unfold, but now, I think he should resign.
