The woman at the center of a sexual assault scandal involving Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax is a Stanford University fellow scheduled to appear at a symposium next week on sexual violence and the #MeToo movement.
Professor Vanessa Tyson’s allegations, stemming from an interaction at the Democratic National Convention in 2004, and the explosive political fallout echo those of Christine Blasey Ford, another university professor living in Palo Alto, who last year accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault when they were teenagers.
Tyson’s Stanford colleague Jennifer Freyd told the Bay Area News Group on Tuesday that sometime last fall, at the start of their fellowship program, Tyson told Freyd and a couple of other colleagues about the 2004 encounter at the Boston convention. Freyd doesn’t remember whether Tyson named Fairfax, but said that she spoke about it while “illustrating a concept” they were discussing about sexual violence.

The Democrats Me too was supposed to flush out the REpublicans but we are now seeing who is the real trash!

I would not dismiss politics.
There are many layers to politics.
I suspect that for some people Fairfax just wont do, as a Virginia governor, for whatever reasons, one of them probably being this skeleton in his closet. If the woman told, back then, it was a risk that it would come out at some point. Better to purge him now than later.
The attorney general may also be some powerful interests preferred man.
IIRC the third in line in Virginia is the attorney-general, and he is a Democrat. Thats what I heard anyway. State laws vary.
Now if we could just hang the beastiality tag on AG Mark Herring, we might be able to sweep those three demons out in one fell swoop.
So she first told her friend about this after Ford cleaned almost half a million dollars on Go Fund Me with her coming out against a politician? The Pence rule is looking more and more wise every day.
The Washington Post did the story.
Did she tell a female family member?
Time to do some digging on Herring.
Here’s who’s donating to Virginia’s most expensive attorney general’s race ever
The Democratic association has reported donors only from the first half of 2017 to the IRS. It will file its report from the second half in early 2018.
In the first six months of the year, DAGA’s biggest contributions were about $75,000 from the United Food and Commercial Workers union and just over $60,000 from T-Mobile.
Since June 30, DAGA communications director Lizzie Ulmer said, some of the top donors have been Planned Parenthood, the National Education Association and Citigroup.
One Commonwealth, Herring’s own leadership political action committee, gave $827,500 directly to Herring’s campaign, making it his second-biggest donor after DAGA. The next biggest is Everytown for Gun Safety, which gave $600,000 through the end of October. One of that group’s founders is former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.

There is certainly more to this case than Kavanaugh’s case. There was nothing other than Ford’s testimony there.

More credible for sure:
Date/time/place & Fairfax himself has confirmed “sex happened”.
Ford had zip, zilch, zero.
“He said, she said”, but by Dem rules, when Repubs are involved, the woman must be believed under any circumstances. It’s a really “ugly look” & Dems are eyeball deep in hypocrisy when they won’t apply it to their own (which is how they always operate, of course - just SO in everyone’s face in this case). At the risk of being ‘old fashioned’ & crude (I don’t care any more), there is a lot to be said for in situations outside of marriage, females keeping their knees together & males keeping “it” in their pants.
I’d bet Northam is somewhere in the woodpile on this one.
Prob can’t see him because he’s in blackface.
And it gets worse, because the guy next line after Fairfax just admitted that HE did “blackface” in 1980.
Which means that if the democrats take their position to it’s logical conclusion, all 3 will resign, leaving a republican speaker of the house as the governor.
Which means they will likely NOT be pushing resignation anymore. They will suddenly start believing Northam’s denial.
Or, they will decide that the black Lt. Governor is high enough on the victimhood scale that he can survive a sexual assault claim, like the guy in Illinois.
We need to start a hash tag for democrats “#believeallwhitewomen”, since it seems that when black women accuse black democrats of sexual or physical assault, they are not believed.
He just admitted to doing “blackface” in 1980.
And since he is one of the people who publicly called for Northam to resign, I don’t see how he gets away with not resigning. His OWN statement is that if you do blackface 35 years ago, you have to resign.
And remember, Northam denies the picture is him, but does admit doing “blackface” in the form of a Michael Jackson Cosplay, which is what Herring has now confessed to, a “blackface” impersonation of a black person for a costume.
Yes, if Kavanaugh had come out and said “Yes, I knew Ford, we were in the room together at a party, but she was totally into me”, he’d have been rejected out of hand.
Or the third in line that also has appeared in black face. Fourth in line is a republican so he is automatically disqualified as a racist.
Yup, the D-rats be ****ed.
Right, the AG is 3rd in line and Speaker 4th. Different from other states.
Politicians and preachers..... both of these two professions should go get a real job for, at least, ten (10) years.
Neither one of them knows diddly squat about how things work or, more importantly, don’t work.
The professional politician is on a modern-day pathway to wealth accumulation and seeks the opportunity to bask in the warm glow of feel-good projects.
That works until the politician gets tangled in a police investigation.
