well VA is all hosed up.

Fairfax should be in prison, Northam should resign and I haven't made up my mind yet about Herring because he at least seems legit sorry and brought it up on his own.

Christ.

I don't think Herring should get too much credit. He just watched the governor and lt governor melt down in the past week. Politically what choice do you have? Get out in front of what is probably the next inevitable national story that is all about yourself or just hope it doesn't come out? The attack on Northam was obviously politically motivated so the republicans are out with knives. Might as well admit to it preemptively and hope to gain some good will out of it.

He took the ad out before they were exonerated but has never admitted he was wrong even after DNA evidence proved their innocence. The difference is small so your overall sentiment is well taken.

i feel like national dems really jumped the gun calling for northam to resign. dressing up in blackface makes you a piece of poo poo but it was 30 years ago, that doesnt rise to the level of national scandal. that northam voted for Bush jr in 08 should be far more damning but apparently no one gave a poo poo about that during the primary. sexual assault is obviously several orders of magnitude worse and now they've painted themselves into a corner, so to speak. fwiw i think its a bit hysterical to think this will flip VA red in 2020 considering thats like twenty months from now and northam won his race by 8 points

I'll go with whatever the Black Caucus says about Herring. They met with him this morning, and haven't made a statement yet.

I mean, he announced his campaign with "all Mexicans in the US are rapists, drug dealers and criminals", and if someone doesn't think he's racist after that would seeing him in blackface really convince them?

please provide any bit of evidence that VA, which has been trending blue for the last 10 years, grew more blue between 2017 and 2018 (and in 2017 had a historic drubbing of Republican state officials), and is about to have significant redistricting to remove gerrymandering before the next electoral cycle -- gerrymandering which is why the Republicans control any level of the government -- is somehow going to magically shift to the right.

also remember that the character of the Republican party in VA isn't mild mannered centrism, it's full throated Confederate revival racism -- to the point where the entire Republican state party is in shambles because many of their most prominent members left in protest of the shift to the right. it's hard for this party to campaign on both 'political correctness is removing our monuments and is bad' and 'Democrats are the real racists!'.

this is a lovely scandal but it won't have any significant electoral impacts other than sinking any chance Fairfax or Herring had to succeed Northam. luckily there is a large group of younger, active Democrats ready to step up.
yup

He either dressed up in blackface and a full-on minstrel costume, which is significantly worse than blacking yourself up to look like an actor/actress/musician (note: latter is still poo poo) or he dressed up in a KKK outfit. Then he stood next to whichever one he didn't dress up as. And then he couldn't remember which of the two hugely racist costumes he was dressed up in, and decided to put that picture into his yearbook.

Nah dude, the reaction was pretty on point.

If you go back throughout history and read about the many various hosed up ways that humans have used to execute other humans it makes us seem pretty irredeemable as a species. That's a wiki wormhole I don't think my stomach could take these days.

Yeah tbh I feel like what gets lost in a lot of the conversation is that Northam's photo was much worse than just "a dude in blackface" because it also had a loving KKK member in it. Like, if a photo had come out of his stupid Michael Jackson costume or whatever, it'd be a different discussion.

The original thin story that were dismissed originally has been independently supported - the accuser has gone public (instead of a rightwing rag posting her text messages to a friend), and her lawyers are in talks with an NBC affiliate. In addition, WaPo has 'clarified' their previous decision to not publish the story, stating that they didn't find any conclusive evidence to either support or contradict the accusation - in other words, a He Said/She Said situation without the accuser willing to go public.

There's also some stuff going on about Fairfax calling the accuser a bitch in a private meeting but that's... a different situation.

If all this leads to VA republicans being in charge of redistricting (since they control the house (because of that one race that was a literal tie and determined by drawing straws)) I'm gonna break my own feet with a hammer. I don't expect this to help, I'll just need an outlet.
