Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has been in the news recently with the emergence of him being featured in a 1984 medical school yearbook photo of a man in blackface and another man in KKK robes last Friday. Northam originally apologized for the photo, then denied his presence in the photo, then admitted to wearing shoe polish while dressing up as Michael Jackson.

This controversy, paired with his comments on the recent abortion legislation in Virginia, has led to many calls for his resignation from the governor’s position. (RELATED: NARAL, Planned Parenthood Call For Northam Resignation)
