Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (Facebook)
On Friday, the Virginian-Pilot broke the news that a yearbook photo for Virginia's Democratic governor, Ralph Northam, had a man in blackface standing next to a man in a Ku Klux Klan hood.
On Saturday, Northam held a press conference where he claimed that the photos he had apologized for Friday were not him and that he would not resign.
The statement was immediately met with scorn on the internet, where calls for his resignation were renewed.
Northam's predecessor, Terry McAuliffe, and Democratic National Chairman Tom Perez have both called for Northam to step down.
