In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: Statement from Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax [View all]erpowers
(9,446 posts)In her statement she claims that she did not speak to anyone, during, or after the convention, about the incident. She only began to tell people about the incident in 2017, after she noticed that Justin Fairfax was running for Lt. Gov. of Virginia. At that point, she began telling friends. In December of 2017 she reached out to a friend at the Washington Post. In March 2018 the Washington Post decided not to publish her allegations. This February, when it seemed like Fairfax would be elevated to Governor of Virginia, Dr. Tyson supposedly made a private Facebook post claiming that a rising star in the Democratic Party was about to get a promotion. Dr. Tyson claims that after the Facebook post numerous individuals including newspapers began seeking her comment. She claims that she had not just decided whether or not she wanted to come forward, but on Sunday February 3, the conservative publication that published the allegations about Governor Northam published her post, her name, and her picture.
