You can’t make this stuff up. 3rd VA Democrat in Power, Mark Herring, now admits that he wore blackface too on at least one occasion while he was a University of Virginia student in the 80’s.

Virginia Democrats this week:

•1st in power Ralph Northam admits he wore blackface & posed with someone in a KKK robe
•2nd in power Justin Fairfax has a #MeToo scandal
•3rd in power Mark Herring admits he wore blackface
•Kathy Tran pushes bill to murder kids at full term.

I think maybe elected Democrats are regretting their strategy of hitting old yearbooks in the past few elections... These chickens are coming home to roost now.

Hey @nytimes this is why you get called Fake News. You know you’d never in a million years write this headline about a Republican but since it’s a Democrat admitting he wore blackface you decide to call it "Dark Makeup". This is why so few trust the mainstream media.

Some Democrats are realizing what a big problem they have with elected Democrats wearing blackface so they want to shift the narrative away from personal responsibility to a collective conversation about racism. This is blatant hypocrisy and media like @kasie are perpetuating it.
