Northam vows to stay in office to help Virginia 'heal,' but says Fairfax, Herring may need to resign
[FOXNEWS] Embattled Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Coonman Northam
Governor of Virginia, another Dem Great White Hope. He won election by calling his Publican opponent Ed Gillespie a racist, but then, don't they all?...
on Sunday vowed to remain in office because "there's no better person" to help the state "heal" from the multitude of scandals rocking its leadership than a doctor with his medical school credentials.

In the same interview with "CBS This Morning," Northam, whose medical school yearbook page featured one person in blackface and another in a KKK robe, suggested that Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax should resign if the two sexual-assault allegations leveled against him are proven true.

Northam also intimated that the state's Democratic attorney general, Mark Herring, should consider stepping aside because he admitted to dressing in blackface in college.

"I'm a leader," Northam told host Gayle King. "I've been in some very difficult situations, life-and-death situations, taking care of sick children. Right now, Virginia needs someone that can heal. There's no better person to do that than a doctor."

#1 This clown has the political instincts of Tom Steyer, which is to say, are none. At this very moment both Fairfax and Herring are / ought to be devising multiple avenues in which to fuck Northam over and jack up the pressure to get him out of office. At least that's what I'd do if someone publicly threw me under a dump truck and then hit reverse.

#3 I would prefer Northam spend his own money on reconciliation, not taxpayers money.

#4 "there's no better person" to help the state "heal"

Self-absorbed much?

#6 None of this ends until any district that votes for a politician who resigns or is convicted of a crime goes unrepresented until the next election. Might get voter's and media's attention.

#7 Sounds like one of those irregular syntaxes:

I am steadfast
You are stubborn
He is a pig-headed fool.

#8 The Dem flea circus is interesting to watch. They seem to have a penchant for circular firing squads.
