the update to the story above, he just held a press conference where he states that YES he wore blackface, but not in that picture... it was on some other day(s).... he also wouldn't address how he got his nickname/call-sign.
Basically "Yes I've done that before, but that's not me in
that picture."
I think the writing is on the wall for this one.
edit: Sorry, this just keeps getting funnier and funnier.
so to Summarize:
- Gov. of Virginia has a photo surface from Med School of him in either Black Face or KKK Robe and Hood
- He issues apology that twice references the photo being of him and being inappropriate and regrettable
- Another photo from his Military School surfaces that shows he has the nickname of "Coonman"
- Many people of political influence speak out to call for his resignation
- He has a private backroom meeting to discuss: He can't remember if he was Blackface or KKK in pic... smh
- He sets up a press conference for today supposedly to resign
- He then gets the bright idea to deny that it's him in the picture, and frantically calls around to old friends from 35 years ago to jog his memory of who was who in the picture
- Holds press conference, and doesn't resign, but admits to dressing up in Blackface a different day as a famous singer....(and he can't remember who....) his wife reminds him it was Michael Jackson (
MJ in 1984)
-**Press ask him if he still knows how to MOON WALK... he looks around as if to measure the space needed. His wife interrupts and puts him back on topic preventing the sure to be hilarious attempt at Moon Walking that was about to happen.
I'm sorry, this is just too fucking much. LMAO.
