2020 Dems react to accusation against Justin Fairfax (Where are the mobs?)

Sen. Kamala Harris of California told reporters Thursday that Tyson's statement "reads as a credible account" and called for an investigation into the incident.

Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, another 2020 candidate, told CNN the allegation was "deeply, deeply disturbing" and praised Tyson for coming forward. He, too called for an investigation.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York praised Tyson's courage Wednesday night on podcast "Lovett or Leave It," saying that her account is credible and disturbing and warrants investigation. She repeated her comments on Twitter Thursday, adding, "Institutions – colleges, the military, the NFL – don't believe survivors, and shame or retaliate against survivors, to protect their own. We have to support survivors and take allegations seriously or there will never be justice."

**SNIP**

Julian Castro, former Housing and Urban Development secretary, added an important distinction in his comments from The Washington Post, separating himself from his rivals for the nomination by asserting that he thinks Tyson is telling the truth.

"I believe her claim," Castro said. "I know that Lt. Gov. Fairfax has denied it. My hope is that there's some process to get to the bottom of that."

Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana, told MSNBC the allegations were disturbing and "deserve to be fully investigated."

When you've lost the support of South Bend's mayor, you might as well step down.

lol.

The NAACP, the CBC, and Black Lives Matter need to denounce these tactics against Fairfax. Clearly, racist white Dems don't want him to take over the Governor in 2021 or if Northam has to step down.

Look at all the black Democrats who had to resign or were thrown in jail over crap that is routine for people like the Clintons. Mel Reynolds. Carol Mosely Braun, etc.

When it boils down to it, black Democrats aren't allowed to seek higher office. They get a token position and are told to accept it.

Gotta love the “full investigation needed” talking points discipline from all the Dems. Doesn’t matter, though. He is toast and will be gone monday.

Sounds like Faifax already did.

[canuck_conservative]

Wait till more accusers come forward.

This guy’s arrogance suggests he got away with it more than once ... after a few accusers come forward - like now - more will see it in the news and be encouraged to speak up.

This guy will be lucky to survive the weekend

Booker is only in the race for the Guys

He is toast and will be gone monday.

Northam just told his staff he's not going anywhere.

[lodi90]

WaPo just shredded him. Lots of corroboration. He’s done. This is not at all similar to Kavanaugh. This dirtbag is a serial predator. He will bail quick because the longer he stays in the public eye the better chance he ends up charged and in jail.

[lodi90]

I was referring to Fairfax. I agree Northam will stay and that is great news for the GOP.

[canuck_conservative]

WaPo just shredded him.

Would that be the same WashPost that spent "months" thoroughly investigating the accusations last summer?

Then decided there was nothing there, and killed the story?

The same WashPost that was lecturing us in a SuperBowl commercial about the need to report the truth?

(WashPost has some explaining to do)

Yep. Fairfax has made a fool out of WaPo. They will want him out the public eye ASAP. I expect they will nuke him on a daily basis until he is gone.

I don’t think the Lt. Governor should resign there should be an investigation and his guilt or innocence should be proven, this was done to Kavanaugh and we didn’t like it one damned bit!!! The governor on the other hand had the MOST VILE racial ads against the Republican opponent AND this bastard the entire time had pictures in a KKK outfit!!! The IDIOT Republican candidate didn’t find this he deserved to lose the damn election what a MORON!!!

[fortheDeclaration]

The woman is always telling the truth according to the Democrats, case closed.

[fortheDeclaration]

All 3 will dig in.

[Windflier]

Ah... I don't disagree with that (he'll be gone by Monday). He can't be saved.

[randita]

I think there should be an investigation. Let Fairfax have his say. In the meantime, the three VA stooges are a drag to the state and national Dem party.

[Truthoverpower]

I live in fairfax ( California) 😊

This calls for a toast -- the Virginia Demagogic Party is close enough, use that.

Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Julian Castro -- they'll be begging Schultz for jobs in his possible administration by the time they've been gouged out of the delegate hunt. Thanks Libloather.
