11. It may not have been him

in THAT particular picture, but he admitted to donning blackface for a Michael Jackson dance contest. His nickname was coonman. He refused to shake hands with his Black opponent in a prior election. He cut Fairfax out of pictures sent in campaign lit.

He isn't innocent of racism. And for that, he needs to resign.
