    I sure hope his revelations affect his ability to serve as present AG or to serve as Governor should Gov. Northam & LtGov Fairfax resign or his ability to run for Governor in the future. He is as bad or worse than his state government cohorts. He would definitely support Northam’s infanticide policies. He is more of a gun grabber than current Gov or LtGov and more than any any VA AG in history. His leftist policies, including environmental extremism, pro-illegal alien support and anti-business lawsuits, would be terrible for VA.

    All of this is ludicrous. So a white man wears make-up and pretends to be someone he admires.
    Ever see the movie ‘White Chicks?’ 2 black men dress and wear make-up to appear to be white weman.
    No offense taken there either. That’s why they call it acting and make-up.
    I don’t like the politics of liberal lawmakers, but I find this absurdity about blackface just that…absurd. Now the LEFT is tripping over their own ‘political correctness’ that now one can avoid tripping over at some point.
    Try worrying about those babies being left ‘comfortable’ after being born; while mom and physicians determine its fate.

    He should step down.

    If any of the three were Republicans, every Democrat, all of the press, and every late night TV host would be demanding their resignation/impeachment/firing. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as none of the above will be able to evade the obvious hypocrisy of the previous treatment of Justice Kavanaugh and the 2017 campaign to portray Gillespie, and later Trump, as racists . Regarding Northam there is the photographic and written evidence contained within two yearbooks from separate institutions. Herring belatedly attempted to preempt the revelations of his “Dark Face ” (per the Washington Post) through admission after he threw Northam under the bus for the same behavior last week (with friends like these … ). Now Fairfax is casting blame upon Northam suspecting he was responsible for bringing the sexual assault to light to deflect from his own problems. Would someone please pass the popcorn? Regarding the sexual assault allegation against Fairfax, he has admitted the activity took place but claimed it was consensual although he was in the position of senior management and an adult involved with a younger intern. They are both Democrats. They are both Black. Contrast this with the public pilloring of Justice Kavanaugh for an alleged assault when he was a 16 year old high school student, that supposedly took place 40 years ago, upon allegations made by a very poor and supposedly reluctant witness, whose testimony was thoroughly picked apart, and whose testimony could not be substantiated by any of the other persons she claimed were present. She was also a liberal Democrat. In addition Justice Kavanaugh was able to provide exculpatory evidence showing he was out of town when the alleged assault took place . Still the chorus against his confirmation only grew louder. I have no doubt that the Democrats and the media will now pull out all stops to salvage the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the Attorney General but this whole episode will taint the entire Democratic party (and the supposedly neutral press) in 2020, to the continued detriment of both. I hope they choke on their hypocrisy.

    Herring said Northam should resign because of the blackface/KKK photo, so Herring needs to follow his own advice!

    The 3 stooges: Northam=blackface/KKK, Fairfax=women harrassment (maybe more), Herring = blackface. None of these people represent the majority of Virginians thinking. It is not political, but is about poor judgement, morals, ethics and decency. RESIGN now.
