Ralph Northam racist yearbook investigation ends without answers

After a months-long review, independent investigators said that they were unable to determine whether Gov. Ralph Northam himself was in the racist photo that appeared in his 1984 yearbook. The investigation, carried out by the McGuireWoods law firm at the behest of Eastern Virginia Medical School, stated on Wednesday, “With respect to the photograph on Governor Northam’s personal page, we could not conclusively determine the identity of either individual depicted in the Photograph.”

The photo depicting two people, one dressed up in Ku Klux Klan robes and the other in blackface, appeared on Northam’s 1984 yearbook page at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Northam initially admitted he was in the photo, then backtracked saying he’d actually appeared in blackface a different time. Northam has never explained why he believed he was the person in the photograph.

Most people are probably like me and said....who?

Sure, it was a story of the day. But unless you live in his state most won't remember him or the scandal...or give a darn.  In reality, who cares what happened in 1980's? (unless it was murder).

This is the @$$hole that in a radio interview,  Appearing to discuss what would happen if a child was born after a failed attempt at abortion, he said, “the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.” https://www.vox.com/2019/2/1/18205428/virginia-abortion-bill-kathy-tran-ralph-northam The site has the clip of the interview, so you can see I did not quote out of context.

The only reason I remember him is due to the fact that I live in VA. Love the state can't stand NOVA and Richmond. Liberal enclaves!

Ralph doesn't know if was him in the yearbook, in blackface?  Is he a stroke victim or something?
