Del. Matt Fariss, a 54-year-old Republican who has represented part of central Virginia in the House of Delegates for over a decade, faces two felony charges — malicious wounding and being involved in a hit-and-run — plus misdemeanor reckless driving.

Fariss has denied the allegations.

Hit by an SUV and has ‘minor injuries’?

Not buying it...

Did she run into the car to claim he hit her?

Hit by an SUV and...

and because of SUV Derangement Syndrome, the Media should never go after the driver. Unless the driver voted for Trump.

I’m buying it, at least until I know more. He’s our delegate, known well by my wife’s family (used to live right up the street), and he’s a POS. He has a history of bad behavior.

A 54 year old political moron.

Has this Republican watched the news in the last 50 years?

The Democratic Party and the MSM will do everything in their power to destroy his life, bankrupt him with legal fees, and put him in prison.

Not a very safe driver, and certainly not a very good Republican. That's what happens when you act like a Commucrat.

However, I suspect there's much more to the story that we are not hearing. Regardless, there is no justice for us on the "Right" side of things.

FYI — Turns out it was his girlfriend, they had just had an argument, and he tried to run her over with his SUV. His dad wouldn’t come bail him out this time — this time, as in multiple times in the past — so he had to call his son.

As I said before, he’s a POS. Hopefully this is the end of his political career.
