3. As evidence, Northam offers that he has vivid memories of the time he dressed in blackface as Michael Jackson in a dance contest.
4. In response to a question about the dance contest he somehow thought it was relevant to mention he won.
5. In the same press conference he points out that he has black friends.
Could that press conference have been a bigger train wreck?
Among the people calling for Northam to resign: the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP, the DNC, Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, MoveOn, Kamala Harris, The Richmond Times Dispatch, and many many others. His resignation is now a question of when, not if.
