- Northam’s classmate, a Colorado doctor, appeared in blackface in same yearbook: report
DEMS FACE DILEMMA IN VIRGINIA GOVERNOR'S SCANDAL: Democrats are demonstrating hypocrisy with their refusal to forgive Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam for a racist photo that appeared on his medical school yearbook page more than 30 years ago, a liberal journalist says ... “People change dramatically over time,” Zaid Jilani said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Monday, adding that liberals “are undermining their philosophy.”Jilani, who wrote an op-ed entitled "Why does Ralph Northam deserve no mercy?" called Democratic leaders “unprincipled” for pushing criminal prison reform while trying to bring down prominent individuals who've made mistakes.
Northam has refused leading Democrats' calls to resign. Northam initially apologized but insisted he was not the person in the photo. Still, critics argue, the Democratic Party may have no choice but to have a zero tolerance policy on Northam. A party that peddles identity politics can't attack President Trump and others for alleged racism if they don't police their own.
The turmoil surrounding Northam grew more bizarre Monday when it became entangled with a scandal following Virginia Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax. In response to a reporter's question, Fairfax suggested Northam could be secretly pushing a newly revealed sexual assault allegation against him to derail his possible ascension to the governorship.
