A kid wearing a stupid costume doesn't mean he was a racist, it means he was a dumbass kid. Oh crap, I wore all sorts of stupid costumes when I was a kid, including a zombie and a Nazi storm trooper. Teenagers don't think about political ramifications or how will this look in 20 years? They just want to go to a party.

Yes the Governor should definitely apologize, and we need to move on. Somebody is ratf*cking us all over again.
