Look At These Hands: VA Gov Northam's Latest Explanation For Why He Can’t Be In Blackface, KKK Photo Just Blew Up In His Face

Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam will go down not only as an executive who wore blackface for a dance competition but also what not to do during crisis management. Northam is facing calls to resign after a racist photo was found on his 1984 yearbook page from Eastern Virginia Medical School last Friday. The picture showed two people, one in Klan regalia and the other wearing blackface. Northam apologized and admitted he was in the photo. He didn’t specify which character he was in the picture, however. Then, the next day, he retracted his apology, said it wasn’t him, and now has zero intentions of resigning. He also admitted to wearing blackface for a dance competition in San Antonio, where he dressed as Michael Jackson.

He's BUSTED several pictures showing him signing with his right hand! https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2019/02/09/look-at-these-hands-va-gov-northam-latest-explanation-for-why-he-cant-be-in-bla-n2541093

Notable: Accused murderer spared abortion charge thanks to Cuomo’s new law

Prosecutors initially included a charge of abortion against the Queens man arrested Friday in his pregnant girlfriend’s murder — but rescinded it because of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s new Reproductive Health Act.

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown sent out a press release saying Anthony Hobson, 48, would be charged with second-degree abortion as well as murder in Sunday’s fatal stabbing of Jennifer Irigoyen, 35.

But a DA spokeswoman later told The Post that the abortion charge “was repealed by the Legislature, and this is the law as it exists today.”

Cuomo signed the RHA into law on Jan. 22, the 46th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.

The law removes abortion from the state’s criminal code and puts it into public health law.

It faced fierce opposition, with the New York State Catholic Conference warning that it “removes accountability for those who would harm unborn children outside the context of medical termination of pregnancy.”

Cuomo’s office did not comment on the murder case.
