Meredith Watson claims Fairfax raped her in 2000, when they were both students at Duke University.

A second woman has come forward accusing Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax of sexual assault. In a letter from her lawyer, Meredith Watson claims she was raped by Fairfax in 2000, when they were both students at Duke University. The letter characterizes the alleged attack as “premeditated and aggressive.” “The two were friends but never dated or had any romantic relationship,” the letter says.

Where have you been, buddy? Havent seen you around here!

There is a huge difference between normal guys, who tend to enjoy sex more when the woman is into them, duh! and guys who are so warped they enjoy the “attack” on a scared, unhappy victim. Huge difference.

Hmm...

wiki:

In July 2018, Hogan was one of four Republican governors from Democratic-leaning states who chose not to sign a letter endorsing the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.[86]

Bill Clinton was a likable rapist and racist. More importantly, he was an abortion lover. FemiNazis will excuse sexual predator assaults as long as the predator is pro-abortion.

A Time reporter wrote (at the time of Billy Jeff’s impeachment) she’d get down on her knees and bl*w Billy Jeff for his defense of “abortion rights.”

WHY do these women who are sexually assaulted tell EVERYONE ON SOCIAL MEDIA that they were raped once upon a time, but NEVER go to the police when it happens? Were people NOT charged/prosecuted for rape 18 years ago?

Very curious.

I don’t care for this schmuck either, but seriously. Don’t we see enough unsubstantiated ‘She Said, He Did’ cr@p? Is every WEEK a replay of the Kavanaugh hearings?

Yeesh!

After what happened with Kavanaugh, I wouldn’t judge till the facts are in.

I'm a cold, uncaring, heartless beast. I guess.

I'm willing to sympathize with women who say they were victims. I'm willing to agree it's a terrible thing, because it is. I'm not willing to "always believe the woman" if it means I have to support ruining some guy's life, and I'm not willing to sic the power of government on someone (gender irrelevant) without due process.

Make an accusation 15, 20 years later, the accused can't have due process. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a fundamental right.

If affirmation of her 'experience' means "women don't lie," string him up, then I want no part of it. If you want the government to address a grievance, make a timely complaint. Government power should never be wielded to 'affirm.'

you and another billion women from forever. Graduated 1980. Was groped by Professor’s, extraneous cops,, men , in general untilI met my husband. I never said a word to anyone, I was so humiliated. Hubby knew, even though he’s a peanut, he stood unlike a Giant. Few workplace incidents after , but Hubby would have none of it. Made a few discreet phone calls.
Zip. Baddabining Badda Boom.
I would never have filed a report..some of those men were the husbands of my Parent’s “aquaintances” ... Second husbands etc, wives were dear friends of my Mom”s.
I only told my oldest Brother (not good) and my Parents who seemlessy disconnected us all from that behavior and those men.

I cannot even now fathom filing a Police Report and I am working on Old Lady.

And even if the Gov. and AG are forced out, who knows what may be discovered about Kirk Cox, the Rep. Speaker of the House who is next in line? Is it realistic to think there is nothing the PC bunch can’t find out about him?

I’m and old lady too and when young I had one rape, while my husband was out getting drunk when he had promised to be home that evening, and 2 attempted rapes by a law student and a lawyer. I reported the actual rape, but did not even consider telling anyONE about the other two incidents.

But it was NOT the “Democrat News Media”; the blackface yearbook story was liberated by Big League Politics which is now owned by Mustard Seed Media. BLP’s editor is Patrick Howley who used to work for Breitbart News, The Daily Caller and other right wing oriented sources. MSM was actively working for the Roy Moore campaign in Alabama and inherited Moore’s 75,000 followers for their twitter account. I think I heard they may also have been responsible for the first Fairfax story, but I may be wrong on that.

Actually it does matter. When I was raped in 1968 by a black man it was not long after the time a white man had murdered 7 or 8 nurses who were living in one house. I figured that man had to be really crazy and hate women, especially white women. Who knows what some white woman might have done to him as a child. On the other hand I figured that to the black man raping me I probably just represented some symbol of power and success to him. That it was unlikely that some white person he had known well as a child had warped his personality. Thus I was glad he was black, not white.

I’m sorry for what happened to you. I don’t really understand your point, though. Read it twice and just don’t get it.

_____________

...... they jumped in and wanted to be the star. That blackface yearbook story was around for months. BLP may have been used.

Ask Dan Bongino.

Interesting point of view you have.

I suppose you are talking about Richard Speck. He was quite gross.
