#6 If it wasn't him he'd have said so right away.
He realized that if he's the one in blackface he's screwed.
And if he's the one in Klan uniform the next question is, was he an actual member. At this point he has no out. He's an idiot and the folks that believed his nonsense feel tricked and want blood.

#7 High School Newspaper editor(s) at the time absolutely knew who was in the photo, as did the kid/teacher who took the photo. That's why the Yearbook staff put it on Northam's content page. Kids know each other pretty well, no matter what they look like.

Betcha the DNC folks have already hunted them down and either paid off or threatened them into future denials.

#8 Wait, not his High School but his college yearbook. Same applies.

#9 First Statement by Northam:

“Earlier today, a website published a photograph of me from my 1984 medical school yearbook in a costume that is clearly racist and offensive. I am deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now. This behavior is not in keeping with who I am today and the values I have fought for throughout my career in the military, in medicine, and in public service. But I want to be clear, I understand how this decision shakes Virginians’ faith in that commitment. I recognize that it will take time and serious effort to heal the damage this conduct has caused. I am ready to do that important work. The first step is to offer my sincerest apology and to state my absolute commitment to living up to the expectations Virginians set for me when they elected me to be their Governor.”

Next Day:

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam on Saturday resisted calls to immediately resign from office—claiming he does not appear in a racist yearbook photo but admitting he had worn blackface in his past.

#10 I guess it took him a day to get a hold of the other person in the photo and the photographer to get their promise of silence.

#11 It wasn't him I tell you. I was at the lake with Ralph Northam when that photo was taken, whenever that was.

#12 Ah, its in the past. Just like the real Klan Senator from West Virginia. Wasn't a problem for you back then when there was not question. Why the drama now?

#14 He's asking for facial recognition software to be employed although one is in a HOOD and the other is in BLACKFACE makeup

Lying asshole is going down hard
