Trump Describes Northam KKK Pic As 'Unforgivable' And Slams Virginia Governor For Abortion Comment

BY TOM PORTER ON 2/3/19 AT 5:21 AM

President Donald Trump in a tweet Saturday described a picture in which Democrat Virginia Governor Ralph Northam allegedly appears in blackface as “unforgivable.”

In a medical school yearbook photo that emerged Friday, one man, alleged to be Northam, appears in blackface, while another wears a KKK hood.

Northam initially admitted to being one of the men in the photo, then on Saturday withdrew his admission, and claimed that allegations he was in the photo were not true.

The Democratic National Committee called on him to resign after the pictures emerged, as well as the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus and the House and Senate Democratic Caucus.

In his statement denying he was in the pictures, Northam also revealed that he had appeared as Michael Jackson with his face smeared in boot polish at a Texas dance contest.

Northam needs to do the right thing and resign immediately like he should have done days ago!

This is not the hill the Democratic party wants to die on FFS!
