Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, who probably thought he might become governor of the state given the ongoing turmoil there, has admitted to wearing blackface as a younger man. This revelation means the state’s three top elected officials, all Democrats, are now engulfed in scandal.

Gov. Ralph Northam is currently resisting calls from the entire political establishment for him to resign after his racist yearbook page surfaced. The infanticide-loving politician has denied that he is either the person in blackface or the person wearing the KKK hood on the page. In the bizarre press conference on Saturday, Northam admitted, however, doing blackface on one occasion as part of a Michael Jackson costume.

Recall that the Trump-hating Northam repeatedly branded GOP rival Ed Gillespie as a racist during the 2017 campaign for governor.

These controversies again underscores what the late New York City talk show host Bob Grant often said: particularly in matters of race, liberals are the ultimate hypocrites. 

Last week, Herring had called for Northam to step down. In a statement, Herring claimed he was “haunted for decades” by this transgression, although he apparently never mentioned it before today.

From CNBC:

“Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring admitted Wednesday that he wore blackface to dress up like a rapper at a college party in 1980, throwing even more political chaos into a state whose governor is ensnared in his own blackface scandal, and whose lieutenant governor is accused of sexual assault.

“Herring, a Democrat, is third in line to the governor’s office.”

As alluded to above, it looked like Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax might be on the verge of taking over for Northam, but now Fairfax is accused of sexual assault.

What is it about liberal, politically correct Democrats and their fascination with blackface? Perhaps Megyn Kelly can explain.
