Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, who over the weekend was championed by many Democrats as a successor to embattled Gov. Ralph Northam, is now fiercely defending his own reputation in the face of a sexual assault allegation.

Oh man....Now the Lt. Governor in VA is under fire as well? Doesn't bode well for democrats right now considering how the reaction would go if this were Republican's we were talking about here....

Yes, it seems Democrats mistakenly dismissed Republican concerns over due process when the Kavanaugh fracas went down, now they look quite hypocritical talking about "uncorroborated allegations".Oh man....Now the Lt. Governor in VA is under fire as well?
In more ways than one; the line of succession to the governorship in Virginia passes to the Speaker of the State legislature (a Republican)Doesn't bode well for democrats right now
Yes, there's that, but by now the public is inured, we all know we are expected to presume any uncorroborated allegation of this sort is true when the alleged perpetrator is a Republican, remember "believe the woman"! To expect any claim to be proven (or even substantiated by any evidence) is deemed an outrageous demand. Only if the accused is a Democrat can there be any presumption of innocence.how the reaction would go if this were Republican's we were talking about here....
Good for you, but it makes the left look like complete hypocrites.Well, from what I understand, these allegations have thus far little to no corroborating evidence to back them up beyond the allegation itself. I would want to see more information before making a determination and calling for this man's personal and professional life to be forever ruined, even if he is with the political opposition. I am going to give Fairfax the same benefit of the doubt and hold him to the same standards that I held Justice Kavanaugh to.
Unlike Ford's Kavanaugh accusations, in this case we know when and where it happened, there is evidence both accused and accuser were present at the location when it is claimed the assault transpired, and the accused even admits he encountered his accuser at the same time and location, just describes the incident differently.Well, from what I understand, these allegations have thus far little to no corroborating evidence to back them up beyond the allegation itself.

For blue dog democrats it won't matter one whit.

Can you define "hypocrite" for the rest of us? Because your use of the word strongly suggests that you don't know what it means.
In the context of the conversation, yes, I'd say he clearly knows what it means.
No evidence....They aren't going to resign......Try again
Actually, in the context of the discussion, it directly suggests that he doesn't, so I'd like to hear him define it for himself. Unless you're darkwizard's a sock, any further posts from you are unnecessary.
By all means wait for him to "explain" things to you. Still, as far as I'm concerned he's spot on with his response.
Well, in Governor's case. They have pictures. Ya' like pictures right?
In Lt Governor Fairfax's case........I thought you guys did away with all that "innocent until proven guilty" stuff. I definitely remember the Democratic leadership taking a stand against such things.
