Ralph Northam apologized Friday for appearing in a “racist and offensive” photo on his 1984 medical school yearbook page that showed one man dressed in blackface and another in a KKK robe, while giving no indication he plans to resign. “Earlier today, a website published a photograph of me from my 1984 medical school yearbook in a costume that is clearly racist and offensive,” Northam said in a statement. Fox News obtained a copy of the 1984 yearbook page from the Eastern Virginia Medical School library. The White House took aim at Northam, referencing the attention Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's high school yearbook received during his brutal confirmation fight last year. "I have devoted my life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting," Northam tweeted this week.
