SORRY I WORE BLACKFACE OR THE KKK HOOD. I'D RATHER NOT SAY WHICH IT WAS... RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- DEMOCRAT Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam acknowledged Friday that he appears in a photo on his 1984 medical school yearbook page that shows a person in blackface and another wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe. The revelation of the photograph prompted some Republicans to call for his resignation. Northam quickly apologized. The Democratic governor confirmed in a statement that he was in the photo wearing a costume "that is clearly racist and offensive." Northam did not say which costume he was wearing. "This behavior is not in keeping with who I am today and the values I have fought for throughout my career in the military, in medicine, and in public service. But I want to be clear, I understand how this decision shakes Virginians' faith in that commitment," he said. Republican state Sen. Bryce Reeves said in a statement that Northam should resign if the reports of the photos are accurate. ... BREAKING: Gov.
