i was not in that costume either as black face or kkk and it's not me. [inaudible] >> why did you take that picture anymore more offensive -- >> it's a great point and, you know, i at the time when i dressed up as michael jackson it was a talent show. i didn't personally find it as unacceptable at the time. i had learned since again in talking to my -- to my friend steph. the picture in the yearbook with the black facing and the member of the kkk is just horrific, it's totally offensive and so i find both of them to be wrong. i wasn't responsible for the first one, i can tell you that. i take responsibility for the issue in san antonio. [inaudible] >> you know, i don't want to ever, you know, try to judge someone's intent but it is perhaps coincidental and, you know, i guess most accurately is to probably ask the person. i've heard secondhand from that person why he did this, but i would rather it come from you but there was an agenda involved. >> to that point -- [inaudible] >> yes. [inaudible] >> you know, we always are asked when we are running, what

are you the guy in blackface or are you the guy wearing the kkk robes? that is question he needs to answer. he's admitted one of the people in that photo is him. the picture is from a 1984 yearbook, when he was at the eastern virginia medical school. he was an adult. he was somewhere around 25 years old when that picture was taken. here's more of what he said after admitting indeed one of those photos, either the guy in blackface or the person wearing the kkk robes, if indeed is him and here's how he responded to some of that. >> i accept responsibility for my past actions, and i am ready to do the hard work of regaining your trust. i have spent the past year as your governor fighting for a virginia that works better for all people. i am committed to continuing that fight through the remainder of my term and living up to the expectations you set for me when you elected me to serve. >> so what you heard there was that he is planning on continuing his term and not resigning. that's what's happening right now in the hours after this came out. i want to ment

then a few days later this kkk black face photo comes out. i am thinking this might have been a democrat who was so revolted by this in virginia, maybe just shopped it. >> it was first reported by a conservative blog, not a liberal blog. jesse: but why now? this is research 101. >> both parties have egg on their face because they should have found it. it's offensive, gross answer despicable. if you are ed gillespie you would be demanding a read fund. >> they made ed gillespie look like a racist. and he's the guy in black face. >> democrats call the president racist, they call ed gillespie a racist when the governor is the one who is racist. there her hispanics and muslim kids with headdress. and a gillespie truck was trying to run over immigrants kids. it was despicable. especially because it was supporting a democrat with a kkk hat on. jesse: people are upset more about the smirking kid with the maga hat. advice for journalists. that's the subject of tonight's watters word. the media won't ask democrats a direct question. democrats are never

if governor northam appeared in blackface or dressed in a kkk robe, he should resign immediately. and just moments ago the governor released a statement confirming he is in that photograph in a costume he describes as clearly racist and offensive, although he did not specify which person he is. northam says, i am deeply sorry for the decision i made to appear as i did in decision caused then and now. he adds, this behavior is not in keeping with who i am today and the values i have fought for throughout my career. the virginia governor also offering what he called his sincerest apology. lester? >> hallie jackson tonight with that, thank you. >>> this evening a million people are converging on the city of atlanta, the center of excitement, also the center of controversy and security ahead of super bowl liii. gabe gutierrez is there for us tonight. >> reporter: tonight thousands of fans are pouring into atlanta. celebrations under way for super bowl liii. >> go pats go! >> reporter: this year's halftime show is clouded in controversy. headliner adam levine of maroon 5 speaking publi

there is no way that i have ever been in a kkk uniform. i am not the person in that uniform and i am not the person about right. >> you talk opportunity and being an effective leader. when will you know that you are not being --? >> it is a great question. we will move forward from today. we will take one day at a time. i obviously will have discussions with our caucuses, with the republican caucuses, with the people of virginia, and as long as i do that i can lead i will continue to do that. if i reach a point where i am not comfortable with that, then we will sit down and have that discussion. governor, do you think you can win over the support of your own party at this point? [inaudible] yes, a lot of it is communication, and it starts today. i have obviously been talking to a lot of my colleagues. but it really starts today, to correct the record and to let them know that i am not the person in that photo that caused this story yesterday. i have made mistakes in my past, as i admitted, but i am a person of my word. i will continue to w

guest: i have never seen president trump in a kkk outfit or blackface. this is a narrative put together by the liberal establishment media. as a minority, i would never support a racist. there is no evidence to support that he is racist. he wants tot enforce our immigration laws, that are pretty much already on the books, that is not racist. it is not about your skin color, religion, any of that stuff. it is about our country being a sovereign nation, and we have laws. the most i guess generous nations when it comes to giving out green cards and inviting people from around the -- and i justly don't understand why people continue to call him racist, because he is not cured we should be outraged by these photos. i'm surprised that the caller has downplayed what he has seen. that is disappointing. host: the results of the mueller report, which should be out in the next couple of months, couple of weeks, we don't know. what do you think the outcome will be for the president? guest: based on what we have seen, which is the people who have gotten in trouble in

>> well, first, happy black history month, we're two days in if and we have black face and kkk. but actually, you know, i just -- i just want to acknowledge our elders who may be traumatized and triggered by this image we keep showing. we keep showing images of the kkk, there are americans who have been murdered by this terrorist group. there are americans who have been dehumanized by black face. and we've been looking at this in a constant loop. i want to level set the people who may be hurting around this. the fact that we're comparing black face today is incredible to me. the fact that he had a nickname of koonman is incredible to me. and the humerus of him to come to the press conference without the institution there. what we're learning is that racism, white supremacy is taught and nurtured and protected. no one from that institution came to talk about that image. how many people said yes? how many people saw it? who published it? who are his classmates? who were his classmates family that have looked at that photo. that's the work. you know, people of whiteness, that's you

i was not in that costume as black faced or kkk.owie: but the media condemn nations are growing louder by the hour. >> didn't you owe people in this country a huge apology? i have a hard time getting that image out of my head. >> we live in an age where we have collectively decided kkk and black face are unacceptable. you did that as a young medical student that you should not be fit to be governor of any state. howie: why was there no media coverage when he backed a late-term abortion with the cable and media outlets totally ignoring it. the president pounces on a war of words with his own intel chiefs. >> president trump and his own intelligence agencies don't seem to be on the same planet. >> we need to stop saying donald trump is taking a different position from them and start saying the truth. donald trump is adopting vladimir putin's position. >> there is plenty of room for scepticism when it comes to the intelligence community and the sourcing these outlets are using to push a certain agenda when it comes to foreign policy. h

costume when the entire point of wearing a kkk costume is to mask your identity, is ludicrous!r what the investigation will find.his credibility is shot.eric: the fact is also common about who was in the photos, it is still on his page. they claim that the other classmate say the photos were mixed up with different pages. but it is still on this page. >> and one of the most surreal moments of the entire press conference is what he said, i was not in this photo in blackface but i remember, being in blackface myself in 1984. when i was mimicking michael jackson and he learned the moonwalk. then a reporter asked him if he could still moonwalk and he thought about it. whether he should do it and they thought it was inappropriate circumstance. it was such a surreal moment but really, the only thing to kind of remind you of when mark sanford resigned as the governor of south carolina when he was lost going on the appalachian trail. sort of a surreal moment of american politics that we just saw on tv. eric: meanwhile, all eyes on justin -- >> fairfax. eric: yes thank you, fairfax. he

he's a 25-year-old man in black face or in a kkk outfit. neither one of those are acceptable. the kkk, all they did was terrorize, lynch, brutalize african-americans throughout the south. you don't get a pass for that. for democrats, any democratic who is saying out of one side of their mouth he was a child, i am tired of that. it's tough. we have fo place in this country for racism and bigotry and all those things that it represents. for someone who is a grown man to display that, you can be sorry and make sure people understand your point of view from henceforth forward. you cannot be the leader of a state like virginia with its past history with those issues in your past. we can make light of the fact that the research people need to never have a job again but the fact this lapse in judgment is exhausting. we have racial issues. i can't criticize the president of the united states for being a racist if i can't criticize governor northam for dressing up in kkk garb when he was 25 years old. >> how easily could he be removed from office? >> it's not easy to remove someone fro

i want to know, was he the kkk or the person in black face. we need to know that. he's a democrat. as you know, they have been known to do things like this or they have been known to be the party that supported the kkk back in the day. so we need to know that. only in the that, he needs to step down for trying to legalize abortions up to the birth. that's very appalling. i'm surprised that pastors -- that we are not an uproar about killing babies. murdering babies. lou: the law was turned down in virginia. it passed in new york. you know, the democrats, it was a long time ago, over 100 years ago, and the republican parties working to free the slaves. the democrats pro slavery. but a lot has gone on since then. but one thing that is different now certainly in our society is that the party, the democratic party wants to see us become socialist. perhaps move farther left than that. i have never seen any party move in any direction as fast as the democratic party is moving to the left. your thoughts. >> absolutely. when you talk about socialism. you are right. when i h

kkk outfit? >> i'm talking about the friend who is saying, well, i know he's not a bigot. maybe he's not a bigot now. but certainly in that time, he should have been aware that this was offensive, and he could have over the years at least made the effort to address it. >> what about the defense that in '84 it wasn't bad, blackface, the way it is today? >> really? i almost said a bad word. it started with bull. >> oh. >> that's bull. i have people sending me yearbook pictures from louisiana, from the '70s and '80s saying, this is from lee high school. i say, send me the full link so i can authenticate it. they say it's on facebook, whatever. but having grown up in that time, i know people that did the same thing. i know there were fraternities who would have parties and there would be blackface at parties. so for anyone to pretend that it didn't happen then or people didn't think that it was -- >> it's weak. >> that is a completely weak argument. >> i don't disagree. >> i respect the friend. fine. >> mm-hmm. >> it's the same thing where people say they support the president

he has been admonished for comments recently it wasn't about the kkk.epublicans lashed out you now all of a sudden because northam is in trouble a democrat you are tying steve king to. this there is a difference between steve king who has not resigned and ceremoniously stripped of his power at a time when the house didn't have any control anyway so it didn't really mean anything and this where democrats are asking him to resign and he doesn't have a history of this. steve king had a long history of this. paul ryan was asked about his history of this a while ago. i'm not saying both sides don't have an issue with this. but it is much more a problem on the right. >> if you look at 2013 in the debate where he had with lieutenant governor's race which i think it was e.w. jackson who actually tried to shake his hand at the end, he didn't even acknowledge he existed even after the black man tapped him on the leg to shake his hand, he didn't even turn his direction, in fact, pretended like he didn't exist. so actually there is a history of this here's the thin

>> i was. >> had you ever posed in a kkk?. >> there are two people in that photo. >> absolutely not. there is no way that i have ever been in a kkk uniform. i am not the person in that uniform and i am the person to the right. >> you're talking about believing in you, getting an opportunity to be an effective leader. how much time do you think you have to prove that and when will you know you're not being effective? >> it's a great question. we'll move forward from today and take one day at a time. i obviously will have discussions with our caucuses, with the republican caucuses, with the people of virginia and as long as i feel that i can lead, i will continue to do that. if i reach a point where i am not comfortable with that, then obviously we will sit down and have that discussion. >> governor, can you win over the support of your own party at this point? there are democrats who say they don't know if they can go forward with you. >> a lot of it is communication. it starts today. i've been talking to a lot of mine colleag

there you see the image with this person in black face and in a kkk hood and robe.or is admitting he is one of those people. we don't know which one. the republican party of virginia saying racism has no place in virginia. these pictures are wholly inappropriate. if governor northam appeared in black face or dressed in a kkk robe he should resign immediately. the governor released a statement during this show saying i'm deeply sorry for the decision i made to appear as i did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now. this behavior is not in keeping with who i am today and the values i have fought for throughout my career. but i want to be clear i understand how this decision shakes virginians faith in that commitment. i recognize that it will take time and serious effort to heal the damage that this has caused. had has caused a lot of reaction on twitter and elsewhere. some of it interesting. jonah goldberg it's let's pick this up monday. it can weight not overheard in the northam comms office. i don't know how much ed gillespie was paying opo

people pictured in this racist yearbook photo from 1984 showing someone in blackface and another in kkk garb. but with today's denial also came an admission that one time he did darken his face with shoe polish, he says, to resemble michael jackson during a dance contest. >> when i was confronted with the images yesterday, i was appalled that they appeared on my page, but i believe then and now that i am not either of the people in that photo. i stand by my statement of apology to the many virginians who were hurt by seeing this content on a yearbook page that belongs to me. it is disgusting. it is offensive. it is racist, and it was my responsibility to recognize and prevent it from being published in the first place. my belief that i did not wear that costume or attend that party stems in part from my clear memory of other mistakes i made in this same period of my life. that same year, i did participate in a dance contest in san antonio in which i darkened my face as part of a michael jackson costume. i look back now and regret that i did not understand the harmful legacy of an action

there is no way that i have ever been in a kkk uniform.m not the person in that uniform and i am not the person to the right. >> you talk about believing that you were given an opportunity to be an effective leader in the commonwealth. how much time do you think you have to prove that? >>> it's a great question. we'll move forward from today. we'll take one day at a time. obviously we'll have discussions with our caucuses, with the republican caucuses, with the people of virginia. as long as i feel that i can lead, i will continue to do that. if i reach a point where i am not comfortable with that, then objecjustlyobviously we will sid have that discussion. >> how can you win over the support of your own party at this point? how do you bring them back? >>> a lot of it is communication and it starts today. i've obviously been talking to a lot of my colleagues. but it really starts today i think to correct the record and to let them know that i am not the person in that photo that caused this stir yesterday. i have made mistakes in my past a

underway right now, the controversy over blackface, the kkk and the moonwalk is not forcing the governorf virginia to resign. instead he's digging in. >>> he slammed the president for not working hard enough, but a recent schedule leak makes people question exactly how hard he is working. >>> i.c.e. arrested a rapper. it turns out he's british. >>> but first, virginia's governor wrestling with the decision as calls for him to resign are growing louder, and the list of people urging him to step down grows longer. governor ralph northam says he needs more time to decide his fate after racist photos from his 1984 medical school yearbook have surfaced. northam denied he was either of the people in this photo, after earlier saying he was. one is in blackface. the other, as you can see, is wearing a ku klux klan robe and hood. he did say he used blackface to dress as michael jackson. did the governor get any support today in the meetings he had with his cabinet and staff? >> reporter: the short answer is it doesn't appear that he did. there has been a lot of condemnation from folks here in ric

speak from the heart. >> 25, you don't know what the kkk hood is or blackface? definitely knew what kkk was. >> come on. he has to know. >> i'm not defending it. no. >> you're a communications professional, and maybe that's the only way he does it, but i don't know how many buy that at 25 in virginia you don't know what blackface means historically. >> just last year we saw megyn kelly say this isn't so bad. i think there are a lot of people don't understand how hurtful it is. >> last week, florida former secretary of state was dressed in 2005 as blackface. his quote was there's nothing i can say and then he resigned. northam is trying to hold on. cory booker announced candidacy for the presidency yesterday. this is what we heard from the counselors of the president about that. >> i think cory booker often soinds li sounds like a hallmark card, not necessarily a person to tell you everything he accomplished in the united states senate and as mayor of newark. >> hallmark card, brian? >> i don't know exactly what that means. i can tell you what i think about cory

those involving the kkk, neo-nazis and other hate groups, that is not too little.y have been a little too late, but that is a pretty strong statement from president trump. so let's talk about northam as northam and hold him accountable for what he did. let's separate president trump from that. >> jen, thank you so much for that. last word, john, real quick. >> that was a nice try, but again, when you say there are good people on both sides, that's just absolutely wrong. the rhetoric that this president has used only inflames the racial tensions that we're seeing in our country. you're right, that's a separate issue, but he is a flawed messenger in this case, and he better just get out. speaking of getting out, northam should just step down. >>> coming up, the game must go on, but what about the show? the effect colin kaepernick is having on entertainment. it's the only one fda approved to temporarily make front lines, crow's feet and forehead lines look better. the effects of botox® cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert
