Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-VA) joined the chorus of leading Democrats in calling for Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) to resign after a photo emerged of him and another individual in blackface and Klu Klux Klan garb.
“This has been a heartbreaking day,” McAuliffe wrote in a statement shared to Twitter. “Ralph Northam is my friend and he served well as my Lt. Governor and as Governor. His actions on display in this photo were racist, unacceptable and inexcusable at any age and any time.”
“The situation that he has put himself and the Commonwealth of Virginia in is untenable. It’s time for Ralph to step down, and for the Commonwealth to move forward,” he concluded.
This has been a heartbreaking day. Ralph Northam is my friend and he served well as my Lt. Governor and as Governor. His actions on display in this photo were racist, unacceptable and inexcusable at any age and any time.
