Virginia Lt. Governor Fairfax is accused of sexual misconduct….

By

Things could have just gotten REAL complicated in Virginia….

With the Democratic thing for zero-tolerance?

What is gonna happen in Virginia?

Ya can’t have BOTH the Governor and the Lt. Governor leave their jobs based on stuff form decades ago…

This revelation which some have Lt. Gov Fairfax blaming his boss Governor Northam for probably means that Northam IS NOT going anywhere ….

Seriously?

Both political parties and the media are gonna have to stop with this opposition research that drags up stuff from decades ago…..

And….

The response by Governor Northam should be a textbook case of how you do NOT respond to these situations which probably WILL continue….

Democratic Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax said reports that he committed sexual assault are false and he instead described an encounter that was “100% consensual.”

The allegation was first published on the conservative website Big League Politics on Sunday night. Fairfax denied the allegation in a written statement overnight, then again to cameras Monday afternoon.
The Washington Post reported Monday that the woman who says she was assaulted by Fairfax approached the paper in 2017. The Washington Post said they did not report the allegations because “Fairfax and the woman told different versions of what happened in the hotel room with no one else present. The Washington Post could not find anyone who could corroborate either version.”
The Post said it did not find “significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegations,” contrary to what Fairfax said in his written statement.
CNN has not been able to reach the woman. The Washington Post reported that she had not responded to their attempts to reach her for comment.
The allegations come amid days of controversy in Richmond around Gov. Ralph Northam’s changing story regarding a racist photo in his medical school yearbook showing one person dressed in blackface and another in the Ku Klux Klan’s signature white hood and robes. Northam has fought to stay in power despite a cascade of calls for his resignation from nearly every top Virginia Democrat and a series of high profile national elected officials.
Fairfax has not called for Northam’s resignation, telling reporters on Monday that the governor “has to make the decision that is in the best interest of the commonwealth of Virginia.”
But there are signs that the relationship between Northam and Fairfax, who would become governor if the embattled Democrat stepped down, has deteriorated.
Fairfax told reporters that the last time he spoke with Northam was “probably a couple of days ago.” And when asked if it was before the Saturday news conference where Northam changed his story on the racist photo, Fairfax said he didn’t believe they had talked since then.
Fairfax was asked Monday if he questioned why the allegations were coming out now and he suggested it wasn’t a coincidence.
“Does anybody think it’s any coincidence that on the eve of potentially my being elevated that that’s when this uncorroborated smear comes out?” he asked reporters…..
