Little, moonwalking Ralphy Northam isn’t watching the Super Bowl today (and neither am I). Instead, little Ralphy has called an “urgent” meet with his top-level staff, which includes Lt. Gov Justin Fairfax. Maybe it’s an urgent meeting to discuss ‘facial recognition software’ so Northam can get to the bottom of “who” was in the blackface/KKK photo from 1984.

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, who’s facing calls from leading Democrats to resign over a racist photo from a 1984 medical school yearbook, has called for an “urgent meeting” with his top-level staff, the Washington affiliate of ABC News reported.
The staff in the meeting include Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, ABC 7 News reported, without saying where it got the information. NBC News’s local affiliate said the meeting started at 6 p.m. local time.
Northam said he won’t quit during a televised press conference on Saturday at the state Executive Mansion in Richmond to address what he earlier called a “clearly racist and offensive” photograph on his medical school yearbook page from 1984 that surfaced on Friday.
“I am not the person in the photo that caused a stir yesterday,” Northam said. “That’s not me in that photo.” The denial failed to silence calls for the governor to quit.
