President Donald Trump took to Twitter to comment on Virginia Governor Ralph Northam on Saturday evening, and Twitter users immediately pounced on his unbelievable hypocrisy.
Just like his son Don Jr. earlier on Saturday, Trump also made the mistake of of attacking Northam, who is resisting calls to resign after he admitted to being pictured in a 1984 yearbook in blackface or in a KKK costume. He apparently can’t remember which or he wasn’t actually in the picture because he doesn’t know how to make up his mind.
The last person who should be criticizing Northam is Trump, but he did it anyway while at his golf course in Mar-a-Lago:
Democrat Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia just stated, “I believe that I am not either of the people in that photo.” This was 24 hours after apologizing for appearing in the picture and after making the most horrible statement on “super” late term abortion. Unforgivable!

The reason why Trump should not have opened his mouth is because if anyone should resign from office, it’s him. Northam’s past has come back to haunt him, but Trump’s past goes back even longer.
Twitter users were quick to remind everyone of all the racist and sexist things Trump has done, many of which are far worse than a picture in a yearbook from 30 years ago:

There is no room for you to talk about anyone else being racist.pic.twitter.com/Nl49hx4fHl

Trump has absolutely no right to chastise anyone else about racism when he falsely accused the Central Park Five and called African American NFL players “sons of b*tches” for taking a knee to fight white supremacy and police brutality.

Why don’t you also call out Steve King? There is no room for racism in politics or America.

True. So what about when you bragged about sexually assaulting women?

Kind of like how you apologized for sexual assault “locker room talk” and then told people that wasn’t you who said it.

You know what’s unforgivable?
SNATCHING BABIES FROM THEIR MOTHERS AND LOSING THEM.
All of you hypocrite Republicans need to STFU about the unborn children, and start caring about the ones who are here NOW.
Everything else is bullshit.

And for being a Birther. Barack Obama was a man of great decency and you sullied his name every chance you could.
And for the very fine people on both sides comment

If Republicans expect Northam to resign, as well they should, they should also demand Trump resign as well. The only reason why Republicans are demanding Northam resign is because he’s a Democrat. This has nothing to do with what he did. If that were the case, Trump would have been impeached and ousted from office long before now.
Let’s not forget that Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) whined about white nationalism and white supremacy being considered bad and complained about America no longer being a white men’s club. Yet, they only stripped him of his committee assignments, which is basically a slap on the wrist. They certainly never called on him to resign.
The difference between Northam and Trump and King is that the latter two are Republicans, and the GOP doesn’t care if one of their own is a racist. They only pretend to care when a Democrat is caught. That needs to change and hopefully Americans are witnessing this hypocrisy and will remember it in 2020.
