Hillary Clinton Branded a Hypocrite as She Urges Virginia Gov. Northam to Resign
While the number of US politicians calling for Virginia’s governor to resign over his “blackface-KKK” yearbook photo continues to rise, a photo of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell posing in front of a Confederate flag emerged on social media.
Former US Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton recently joined the chorus of politicians calling Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, a Democrat himself, to resign over controversy sparked by the emergence of a 1984 photo from his yearbook that features two people, one wearing blackface while the other is clad in a KKK robe.
“This has gone on too long. There is nothing to debate. He must resign,” Hillary tweeted in response to a media report about both Virginia’s senators urging Northam to resign.
Her statement, however, evoked a mixed reaction on social media: while some seemed inclined to agree with Hillary, others focused their attention on controversy surrounding the 2016 presidential candidate.
