In reply to the discussion: I'm so disappointed, sad and a little angry to see so many people not only defend Northam [View all]AdamGG
(1,297 posts)In the press conference, one of the reporters asked Northam, since he'd participated in a Michael Jackson dance contest in 1984, if he could still do the moonwalk today. Northam turned his head and looked at the floor next to him to see if there was enough space for it, started to get in position, and then his wife touched his arm and said that it wouldn't be appropriate in this situation.
For a second there I was really rooting for that moonwalk, just to see one of the most epicly tone deaf viral video moments in press conference history.
Northam could have chosen to resign today with some dignity and speak frankly about the environment he grew up in and how he has evolved as a person and how it's important for society to continue to evolve. Now, he's just another politician lying to save his neck with desperate, pathetic attempts at damage control. But, his wife did manage to save him from becoming a viral video for the ages.
