The Virginian-Pilot, the largest daily newspaper in Virginia, obtained the photo from the Eastern Virginia Medical School library, which can be found in school’s 1984 yearbook — the same year Northam graduate from the school. Big League Politics first reported on the photo Friday.
The Virginian-Pilot explains:
The two individuals pictured have not been identified.
Northam and his staff have not yet issued a statement regarding the photo.
In a statement to the Washington Post, Senate Minority Leader Richard L. Saslaw (D-Fairfax) defended Northam. “His whole life has been about exactly the opposite and that’s what you need to examine, not something that occurred 30 years ago,” he said. “While it’s in very poor taste, I would think there is problem [sic] no one in the General Assembly who would like their college conduct examined.
