Megan Kelly gets fired for saying -
"But what is racist? Because you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character."
But Gov. Northam of VA. gets away with a KKK / Blackface picture ?
Something just ain't right !
I've read the impeachment process for a Governor in Virginia, I ain't a lawyer but don't think Mr Northam qualifies under it's wording.
Text of Section 17:
Impeachment
"The Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, judges, members of the State Corporation Commission, and all officers appointed by the Governor or elected by the General Assembly, offending against the Commonwealth by malfeasance in office, corruption, neglect of duty, or other high crime or misdemeanor may be impeached by the House of Delegates and prosecuted before the Senate, which shall have the sole power to try impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, the senators shall be on oath or affirmation, and no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of the senators present. Judgment in case of impeachment shall not extend further than removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the Commonwealth; but the person convicted shall nevertheless be subject to indictment, trial, judgment, and punishment according to law. The Senate may sit during the recess of the General Assembly for the trial of impeachments"
But if the Governor had a shred of decency he'd resign !

Something I found, haven't verified it, but --
"Not Northam"
But I think the pants followed him !
If he can't be impeached, hound him out of office.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably gonna end up like Wes Bellamy in Charlottesville.
DeleteBut Northam's case has drawn national attention more so than Bellamy's did. So maybe he'll be forced to resign. I hope so.
He's gone. The only question is how long he is going to try to delay the inevitable...
ReplyDeleteI think your correct, I've added a 3rd option !
DeleteI believe that Mr Northam will probably bow to the pressure of his party. They knew when he made that statement about abortion that he went too far. I am also fairly certain they or someone in the Establishment already knew long before his election about these photos. Power protects power in the Establishment, but when someone makes them look bad (possibly a Jump-The-Shark moment like those abortion comments are) then that person has to be taken out to protect the ideology, which trumps everything (no pun intended!).
