Gov. Ralph Northam Defends Va. AG: ‘I Am Sure, Just Like Me, He Has Grown’

EXCERPT:

NORTHAM: “Well, I know Attorney General Herring well, as I do Lieutenant Governor Fairfax, and you know we have all grown. I don’t know what the Attorney General was thinking, what his perception was of race, of — of the use of blackface back then. But I can tell you that I am sure, just like me, he has grown. He has served Virginia well and he and I and Justin, all three of us have fought for equality. And so, again, I regret that our Attorney General is in this position but this is a decision that he’s going to need to make.”
