BREAKING: Virginia LG Justin Fairfax sexual assault accuser named

77. Classic he said she said

So we have a case where both parties admit to a consensual encounter over 14 years ago at the DNC in Boston. Both parties where single at the time of the event. For 13 years each party went about thier daily lives with both of them clearly reaching success in thier chosen careers. Neither party speaks about the encounter to anyone over that time frame but when Fairfax becomes a candidate for Lt. Governor she takes her story to the Post and they investigate both parties and can find nothing that supports her allegation in his past. Fairfax denies any wrong doing and that is the end of the story.

Suddenly out of nowhere a right wing rag starts trolling the story two days after the whole Northam affair goes public. My question is this, who gave them the story and why.

For those of you who are not familiar with Virginia politics i will offer a primer as a life long resident of the Commonwealth. If the Governor resigns or dies while serving the Lt. Governor assumes thier term. However the new Governor does not pick the next Lt. Governor. That is done by the legislature and currently the legislature is Republican controlled in both houses. So if Fairfax was forced to resign the Republicans would control the entire Legislature . The census is in 2020 and this is the first time that a Democrat is in the Governor's office since 1990. Virginia also is in the middle of a federal gerrymandering case.

I will not cast any dispersions on either party. 14 years ago they got together in a hotel room and over the course of time someone's view of the events that night has changed while the other persons hasn't. Unless evidence is brought forward that supports her claim then I think we all need to look at why this came up now. I do not believe in coincidences nor do I believe in conspiracy theories either.
