the very state northam is governor of, that you could possibly remain in office. besides the fact it is utterly unacceptable, there s no explanation in my opinion for someone in 1984, 20 plus years after the civil rights act, still thinking it s okay not only to dress up like this, take a photograph like that and submit it to a yearbook as a representative of who you want to be remembered as. that tells me a whole lot about your upbringing, your values, what you think is acceptable. and to mia s point, what has he done in the last few years to have a come to jesus moment and renounced nothing. today my mom and i went to see green book, and i m even more riled up because it was a reminder of the jim crow south and what black americans had to go through and the disgusting n
heal and move forward together. we re also hearing from congressman eric swalwell, julian castro. we re hearing from many democrats who are saying you know what, you ve got to resign. you can t stay there. but the two republican senators have not called for him to resign, not directly anyway. they ve called for him to think about it, to think about what to do next. and they decry what he said, but certainly there are plenty of democrats now who are piling on this governor to walk away. that this is not okay and you cannot survive this. we will see what happens, don. there s a lot of photo worry, yearbook worry going on out there because there are people who have other pictures like that. trust. so this a second major controversy facing the governor this week. this photo surfacing follows remarks he made about abortion. yeah, and that certainly
does he deserve that chance? well, i think that he can have that chance. what he does not necessarily deserve is to remain in a position of trust and authority, which is what the governor s office is. you know, what i said is that no matter whether somebody s a republican or democrat, that kind of behavior was racist and inexcusable. and if we re going to ensure that these types of things don t continue to happen in our country, then we need to hold people accountable for their actions. and this happened when he was in medical school. he wasn t, you know, in high school or younger than that. he was an adult. it happened in 1984. in 1984 jessie jackson was running for president of the united states. and so 1984 was not, you know,
support you. go check the record on that. that just happened in 2018, so it should be of no surprise that this governor has done this. and furthermore, back to what my sister said, you know what? this is outrageous in every single way, and it does happen on the left a whole lot. and it reminds me of some words that the reverend dr. martin luther king, jr. had to whites, and don there s two books i know you ve been doing bedtime stories for these folks on the show. i recommend they read a book called white rage by carol anderson and how to be less stupid about race by dr. crystal fleming. otherwise, this governor has to go. he needs to go really quickly, and the left as my sister just said, they need to get a clue because racism is in the dna of this country and we are sick and
doesn t have real access to you. you can t governor a state like virginia from hiding. he s going to get an earful. he s going to see the base of his democratic party is absolutely outraged. he s going to probably i think through the equivalent politically this weekend get his affairs in order when you get a diagnosis of terminal cancer. and come monday morning very surprised if he s got anything left of an administration. i hold out hope perhaps some will surround him and say all is forgiven. 1984 is the year i graduated from college, so he s older than me. i look at this and say there s just no way you can govern a state with that kind of raw bigotry and ugliness that s in your past if you don t have a really, really good explanation.
