PLOT TWIST: Gov. Northam Now Reportedly Insisting He is NOT in Racist Yearbook Photo, Will Refuse to Resign

By News Here - 08:12

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is now reportedly unconvinced that he is one of the people in a racist photo found in his 1984 yearbook, and is refusing to resign until he finds out who is.

After the photo — which showed one person in blackface and another in a KKK robe — was unearthed on Friday, the Democratic governor issued a statement apologizing and admitting he was in it, but did not clarify which person he was.

Following a swell of calls from Democrats for Northam to resign his post, he announced a press conference for Saturday. But, according to New York Times reporter Jonathan Martin, he does not plan to resign at the presser.

Martin tweeted Saturday that Northam is privately insisting that he is not in the photo, and does not plan to resign before he finds out who is.

He “has also been calling his former med school classmates to jog their memories,” Martin wrote.
