Bob Menendez thanks you for your gullibility.

Was he found guilty? Nope, but did get admonished by the Senate for ethical violations. Given the Supreme Court decision with regards to the former Virginia R governor, there was no way any conviction would have stood anyway.

That is not to say he did everything right - but a conviction (just like McDonnell) was not going to happen. That is where the law has to change if you want to try to eliminate that kind of corruption.

Also, I forgot that Ralph Northam seems fairly happy with no one demanding his resignation.

My grandmother is turning 100 shortly. She says thank-you and wishes you continued success. She says the same thing to me.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of Virginians who have called for Northam's resignation on both sides. You're really bad at this.

‘We Were Wrong’: Washington Post Does About Face After Calling For Ralph Northam’s Resignation Over Blackface

The piece published Friday titled “How Ralph Northam came back from the political dead,” describes how “few back-from-the-dead narratives have been as swift and sure-footed as the one Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has managed this year.”

The Washington Post’s editorial board has done a complete 180 after once calling for Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to resign.

When a medical school yearbook photo of what looked like Northam in either in blackface or a Ku Klux Klan costume came to light earlier this year, the Post was one of many news sources calling for the resignation of the Virginia governor.

No ones calling for Northams resignation in 2020,. Not since spring of 2019.

Hes even claiming now he wasn't in the black face/klan photo

I’d execute the guy but I’m like that.

I fear how some Democrats would excuse this insanity.

Dehumanizing language is not new, and what we are seeing is that incidents like these are happening in a pattern. This is a pattern of an attitude towards women and dehumanization of others. So while I was not deeply hurt or offended by little comments that are made—when I was reflecting on this, I honestly thought that I was just going to pack it up and go home. It’s just another day, right? But then yesterday Rep. Yoho decided to come to the floor of the House of Representatives and make excuses for his behavior, and that I could not let go. I could not allow my nieces, I could not allow the little girls that I go home to, I could not allow victims of verbal abuse and worse to see that, to see that excuse and to see our Congress accept it as legitimate, and to accept it as an apology, and to accept silence as a form of acceptance. I could not allow that to stand, which is why I’m rising today to raise this point of personal privilege. And I do not need Rep. Yoho to apologize to me. Clearly, he does not want to. Clearly, when given the opportunity, he will not. And I will not stay up late at night waiting for an apology from a man who has no remorse over calling women and using abusive language towards women. But what I do have issue with is using women, “our wives and daughters,” as shields and excuses for poor behavior. Mr. Yoho mentioned that he has a wife and two daughters. I am two years younger than Mr. Yoho’s youngest daughter. I am someone’s daughter too. My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter. My mother got to see Mr. Yoho’s disrespect on the floor of this House towards me on television. And I am here because I have to show my parents that I am their daughter and that they did not raise me to accept abuse from men. Now, what I am here to say is that this harm that Mr. Yoho levied, tried to levy against me, was not just an incident directed at me. But when you do that to any woman, what Mr. Yoho did was give permission to other men to do that to his daughters. In using that language in front of the press, he gave permission to use that language against his wife, his daughters, women in his community, and I am here to stand up to say that is not acceptable.
