Should Virginia governor Ralph Northam resign?
)
February 3rd, 2019
Recently a photo from Ralph Northam’s medical school yearbook surfaced purportedly showing him as one of two people dressed in racist costumes (one in blackface, one in a KKK robe). Northam originally admitted he was in the photo and apologized for it, though he refused to step down.
He now claims that he had never seen the photo before this week and that he is not in the photo. He is still refusing to resign.
Should one regrettable photo preclude you from political office? Clearly Republicans and Democrats have different standards for the “purity” of their own. Steve King flirts with white supremacy and yet he remains in office; Northam may or may not be in a racist photo and the demands for him to resign are unanimous.
Should you be defined by your bad decisions?
