Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring said he dressed in blackface when he was younger but said he won’t resign, despite calling on Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to resign after a picture emerged from Northam’s yearbook page that showed one man in blackface and the other wearing Ku Klux Klan gear.

It’s the latest turn of events in the state that now has the three top lawmakers embroiled in controversies but all refusing to step down.
