Ralph Northam further explains why he wore blackface to dress as Michael Jackson in 1984. "It was a dance contest. I actually won the contest because I had learned to do the moonwalk."

A reporter just asked Northam to moonwalk AND HIS WIFE HAD TO TELL HIM THAT WAS A BAD IDEA, if you're wondering just how much of a trainwreck this press conference is.

"I have a lot of people of color that I've been friends with, played ball with. I expect that I've had as much exposure to people of color as anybody."

Holy train wreck, Batman…
Via Twitchy:
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam held a surreal press conference today, and he’s not going to step down — at least, not yet. Northam denied being in blackface or a KKK outfit in a photo featured on his page of a college yearbook, but he DID admit to wearing blackface on a separate occasion, which was a Michael Jackson dance contest.
