GOP House speaker says Democrats are blocking hearing on women's allegations against Fairfax
The Richmond Times-Dispatch ^ | 04/03/2019 | MEL LEONOR

Posted on 04/03/2019 4:29:33 AM PDT by Captain Jack Aubrey

House Speaker Kirk Cox, R-Colonial Heights, said in a statement that Democratic leader Eileen Filler-Corn, D-Fairfax, has repeatedly spurned offers by House Courts Committee Chairman Rob Bell, R-Albemarle, to hold a bipartisan hearing that would allow the two women to testify.

“There should be no mistake about what has happened here: the alleged victims are seeking a bipartisan hearing; Republicans are seeking a bipartisan hearing; Democrats in the House of Delegates are refusing to allow that to happen,” Cox said.

It would be good for the black man to go down and the black face actors keep their jobs. Democrats will charge racism and the GOP shows the pics again. The Fairfax charges are more serious but when looking through the prism of racism all bets are off.

The minute the Democrats arrive to any court it becomes an Injustice in Progress. They dont believe in the Law, they rre trying to burn it down. Get woke to THAT!

Only should be heard if the accused is NOT a Dem/Lib/Left/Progs.

Fairfax lost credibility with reasonable people (does not include Dems/Lib/Left/Progs) when he hired the same polygraph examiner used by Blasey-Ford.

It appears the GOP is a doormat party. All I see is Virginia republicans running their mouths on this. Apparently, they want the issue to go away and not the removal of the dirtbag Democrat.

Don’t be stupid.

They don’t care about “victims”, or anything else except power. They obviously have plans for Northam (whose ‘offense’ was trivial), but if Fairfax goes down, Northam will have to go too, so Fairfax gets off.

“It appears the GOP is a doormat party.”

The GOPers in VA are in cowardly retreat. They are in the majority, and are caving in to the Dims . Another case of “bipartisan agreement” as the excuse for being weak-kneed.

This really isn’t difficult. But as always the GOP has no interest in heavy lifting. Invite the women, schedule the public hearing at their convenience and dare the Democrats to not show up. Then daily pound the Democrats with their own rheotric about “women deserving to be heard.”

Is it true that he’s also been known to strut around nude in front of women?

GOP controls house by one vote. It would be really great visuals for an all GOP committee holding an hearing on this, wouldn’t it.

Absolutely. Set up chairs for the Democrats. It would be devastating visuals to have the women there “to be heard” only to be met by listening Republicans and empty chairs instead of Democrats.
