so here are some important points. first, he apologized. he didn t resign, though. there s another thing the governor knew about this picture. he says he made the decision to appear in it. it is part of his past, and it s not so distant past. this was a yearbook from 1984, not 1954. he was 24 years old, in medical school. there s no way he didn t know what he was doing when he posed for that picture. a picture that is a slap in the face to americans of color. quite frankly to every american. this matters this should matter to every single one of us. none of us can forget what happened in virginia in charlottesville in 2017. white supremacists, neo-nazis
serious and sometimes fatal infections including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. woman: help stop the clock on further irreversible joint damage. talk to your rheumatologist. right here. right now. humira. okay, we re back now. guys, i have a short time. you know cory booker threw huz hat into the ring. he just tweeted out, these images arose centuries of anger, and eroded confidence in governor northam s ability to
robes? that is question he needs to answer. he s admitted one of the people in that photo is him. the picture is from a 1984 yearbook, when he was at the eastern virginia medical school. he was an adult. he was somewhere around 25 years old when that picture was taken. here s more of what he said after admitting indeed one of those photos, either the guy in blackface or the person wearing the kkk robes, if indeed is him and here s how he responded to some of that. i accept responsibility for my past actions, and i am ready to do the hard work of regaining your trust. i have spent the past year as your governor fighting for a virginia that works better for all people. i am committed to continuing that fight through the remainder of my term and living up to the expectations you set for me when you elected me to serve. so what you heard there was that he is planning on continuing his term and not
of this show you said this is not surprising. of course this is not surprising. this is not anything, you know, that made us think something like this couldn t happen in virginia of all places. i do think, though, it s really interesting if governor northam steps down, that you have a state like virginia who s obviously a very important state in the battleground, that you ll have a state like virginia that will be the only state in the country that will have two african-american governors serve, and i do find that interesting. but this 100% not a surprise at all. nina, what do you think? damn shame, don. and i m going to keep this as pg as i can, but i m about to jump out of my skin. let me tell you something this same governor just last year, just 2018 and democrats didn t say a word when there was a labor union there that told this governor that if you don t take justin fairfax s picture off your literature that we re paying for, we re not going to
tired of it. and one more point, don. this governor needs to apologize to black folks first. all that okie doke he was just talking is bs. he needs to straight up apologize to black folks who were dehumanized, ridiculed. this country was built on the blood, and sweat and tears of black folks. no, apologize to black people first. i agree with senator turner. if he s not in a black church on sunday begging for forgiveness, he may at that point have thrown in the towel. i reality is i can t see how this administration continues. this is not like being a judge where you re sort of removed, you ve got guards, the public 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
