Justin Fairfax accuser speaks out as Virginia House Democrats end calls for impeachment

Virginia House Democrats are deferring to law enforcement officials to carry out their investigation into accusations that Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax sexually assaulted two women. This comes after a delegate in the Virginia legislature backed down from calls he made to impeach Fairfax.

Democrat Patrick Hope had threatened to introduce articles of impeachment against Fairfax, telling reporters that there is "no question that violent sexual assault qualifies as an impeachable high crime." Hope said that he had drafted language for his colleagues as a first step to take action against the Lt. Governor.

...

But the Virginia House Democrats said in a statement on Tuesday that they believe the investigation into Fairfax should "proceed unencumbered and outside the political arena." They reiterated their calls for Fairfax to resign, but added "we are willing to work in a bipartisan manner with members of the General Assembly on a path forward."

Question: Why are you backing down if you are supposed to always believe women accusers?

The Demon Rat Party must have made Hope “an offer he couldn’t refuse.” I suppose he was not much interested in suicide by three bullets to the back of the head, and a ride to Fort Marcy Park.

Spoke about Fairfax and Northam with a black female coworker. She’s in her 50’s. We agreed that what Northam did wasn’t a crime. She didn’t budge on Fairfax though, she does not believe the women.

"Democorrupts protect their own."

Do you suppose it might be because so many of them have skeletons in their own closets?

Demon cats always circle the wagons witness the entire history of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama

Gassing and burning hundreds of women and children no problem!

Telling our military to stand down as they’re being viciously attacked for a couple days by Islamic terrorists in our embassy? No problem!

Dozens of allegations of sexual assault and rape of our former president before during and after? No problem!

The list goes on and on and on and on for Democrats

Racist Ralph attacked Ed Gillespie in 2017 with one of the most vile campaign ads I've ever seen.

Racist Ralph deserves to be beaten, tarred and feathered for that.
