Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said it was time to move on from the blackface/Ku Klux Klan yearbook photo scandal with the conclusion of the Eastern Virginia Medical School's investigation.
"What has happened in the Commonwealth of Virginia, I regret that, I have addressed that. But today we are talking about gun violence and how to save lives in Virginia," Northam told a reporter on Tuesday.
Northam said his office conducted their own investigation and turned over what they found to Eastern Virginia Medical School.
"You know, we've turned the page. Virginians want to move forward. They want a leader, a leader such as me, that has passed Medicaid expansion in Virginia — 400,000 working Virginians that now have access to healthcare," he said.
