    When the Republican Secretary of State in Florida was found to have dressed up in blackface, he resigned. Now the Democratic Governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, must do the same.

        Totally cool with this, but Steve King is still a congressman and no one should let up until he’s tossed into the dustbin of history.

        Ralph Northam's racism goes beyond these HORRIFIC images. He's also been pushing the DANGEROUS Atlantic Coast Pipeline-which has MASSIVE compressor station being dumped on historically black community Union Hill-where freedmen are buried #WeAreAllUnionHill https://bit.ly/2S57O7C  pic.twitter.com/WljGxrsYg4

        I agree. I am hoping people will start holding the US population equally-intensely responsible for racist anti-native redface.

        Yes!!! Thank you, @shaunking . I 100% agree. I’m a Virginian and I feel strongly that @GovernorVA should resign immediately! This is absolutely inexcusable.

        He needs to resign, for consistency among other reasons.

        Do people deserve the right to show humility? Apologize? Redeem themselves? I say yes.

        It’s a Sammy Davis Jr COSTUME. He’s also been impersonated on SNL by Billy Crystal. It was 35 years ago. If a white person dressed as Obama or a black person as Clinton for Halloween, should they be fired 35 years later? Get over it.

        @shaunking 1984 is a while ago, people are unfortunately products of their surroundings but they also evolve. We should focus on his politics now not a stupid act 30+ years ago. We are so quick to call for resignation let's base it on things that actually affect us now
