LOL.
Virginia Dem. Gov. Ralph Northam’s office is not responding to requests for comment for some reason. Come on, governor! Are you the dude in blackface or are you under the KKK hood? It’s an easy question to answer:
Under the photo of the men in blackface and the Klan hood are listed Northam’s alma mater, Virginia Military Institute, and his interest: “Pediatrics.” It's unclear who the men in blackface and Klan hood are. @GovernorVA's office didn't immediately respond to requests for comment https://t.co/fVSONKwbm4

"It’s unclear who the people in costume are. The governor’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday afternoon." #Virginia @RalphNortham https://t.co/rlWKqEvDn2

We will note that a Republican stepped down last week for a similar photo:
#Florida state election chief abruptly resigned last week after a newspaper obtained pictures of him in blackface. https://t.co/3BpoXgWvZ9
