It’s very odd who gets targeted by Democrats and who gets a pass.
Byrd - former KNOWN Klansman, leader in the Democratic Party. Lauded until his death.
Northam - military man, doctor, state govt leader. Had a picture of him or friend dressed in costume as a Klansman. We cannot stand for this!!!
I’m personally tired of having Democrats decide who will become a victim of the outrage marchine and who will be spared.
You know they wouldn’t be calling for his head if he hasn’t slipped up and made the Democratic party’s view of abortion known. And if they didn’t have a super progressive behind him to take his place.
Most of the Republicans here seem to be of the opinion that Northam shouldn't resign. Might be easier for him to switch parties, so Dems can say he was a DINO and continue with the outrage.
Nah. You own him sweet cheeks. We don’t want him to resign because we want to rub your idiot noses in it for four yearsMost of the Republicans here seem to be of the opinion that Northam shouldn't resign. Might be easier for him to switch parties, so Dems can say he was a DINO and continue with the outrage.

Snark aside, I'm not sure how long this outrage will persist unless their is something else in his past to indicate he is in fact a racist, rather than someone who has a really offensive sense of humor.
I don’t necessarily think he’s racist. Back then, I’m sure he thought it was funny and as a twenty something, as many of us are guilty of, never thought about 30 years down the road. Most of us are drilling him to show how the left has a double standard when it comes to such matters. Of course now the left is being forced into calling for his resignation. They know they cannot just ‘splain this away given how they respond to anyone without a D in front of their name had they done this.
Just got in. First thing on my to do list. respond to ND. I think he'll resign. seems as if society will demand it. Plus, he'll at least get a chance to show Trump what a sliver of dignity and class looks like.
