Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of Virginia Denounces Sexual Assault Allegation as a ‘Smear’

RICHMOND, Va. — Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of Virginia on Monday emphatically denied a woman’s claim that he sexually assaulted her in 2004, suggesting that Gov. Ralph Northam’s supporters were trying to block his ascent to the governorship at a moment Mr. Northam is besieged by demands that he resign over charges of racism.

“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?” Mr. Fairfax told reporters surrounding him in the rotunda of the state capitol about whether he believes Mr. Northam, a fellow Democrat, was behind the accusation coming to light. He offered no evidence tying the Northam camp to the allegation.

Just hours after the Washington Post published a story Monday outlining the woman’s allegation — that Mr. Fairfax assaulted her soon after they met in Boston at the Democratic National Convention — the lieutenant governor said that he and the woman had what he called “a 100 percent consensual” sexual encounter.

“We hit it off, she was very interested in me and so eventually, at one point, we ended up going to my hotel room,” said Mr. Fairfax, 39, recounting in a measured voice what he said happened in 2004

You crushed it.
It's hard to follow with something pithy after that.

Did he deny it previously?

Anyone see the irony? A black Democrat getting thrown under the bus by white leftists in the state Democrat Party, and probably coordinate by the DNC itself.

This man has been treated like trash by Democrats. They denied him a speaking slot at one of their dinners or convention or something and even Northam refused to acknowledge him in the final weeks of the campaign.

You would just think he would have a moment of clarity, completely resign, and denounce all things Democrat and run as a Republican in 2021.

What?

[southernindymom]

Yep, he rots in jail or rep destroyed, family destroyed, life destroyed. same treatment

[for-q-clinton]

I’m willing to bet he knew of the photo and chose not to use it against him too!

[Seaplaner]

Hmmm, complicated.

Here's an idea...

Let's let the Duke Lacrosse team look into it.

I think it’s bizarre that the #FakeNewYorkSlimes won’t mention Vanessa Tyson’s name.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The long game if they can get Northam to resign: dirty up Fairfax enough to get him to quit and get Herring in as Gov ... radical-Progressive-on-steroids ‘coup’. They’d be making lemonade out of lemons (for the Left) if they can pull it off.
