Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) called on his successor Ralph Northam (D) to resign late Friday after Northam admitted he appeared in a picture showing a man wearing blackface and another dressed in a Ku Klux Klan robe, The Hill reports.
Said McAuliffe: “This has been a heartbreaking day. Ralph Northam is my friend and he served well as my Lt. Governor and as Governor. His actions on display in this photo were racist, unacceptable and inexcusable at any age and any time.”
He added: “The situation that he has put himself and the Commonwealth of Virginia in is untenable. It’s time for Ralph to step down, and for the Commonwealth to move forward.”
