Northam Mulled Party Switch In Aftermath Of Yearbook Picture

Gov. Ralph Northam (D) was surprised by the immediacy with which Democrats were ready to toss him out after the racist picture on his yearbook page circulated, and even considered switching his party registration and governing as an independent.

According to a Tuesday Washington Post report, Northam was initially confused by the picture and shocked by the intensity of the backlash.

He was reportedly caught off guard because he thought his allies would give him the benefit of the doubt and be more hesitant to throw him over.

Numerous top Democrats, including Speaker Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Virginia’s two U.S. senators have called for his resignation. Northam’s consideration of shedding his party affiliation to govern as an independent reveals the depth of his political isolation.

That First Step Act seems like a good deal. Hadn't done much research. Are my assumptions correct?

If so I can give Trump credit for that one.

It’s aptly named. But this the best thing that’s happened while he has occupied the office of President.

Could be interesting, kinda scary too that these powerful billionaires are running.

They see they profit in being president.

Funny thing is Trump is setting a an example.

The constitution means nothing when money can be made.

To hell with all that. Every politician can get up and say what they are going to do for every other group, but when it comes to black ppl its some secret squirrel shit.

At one time, supporting any gay agenda was ground to lose an election. Until they stopped backing down amd refused crumbs from the table

When are we going to demand better?

Are you claiming that these candidates have not championed issues that effect black people?

I would throughly disagree.

What exactly would you like them to say?
