He just has to hope that Fairfax holds on longer and a few more women make accusations - and then Northam’s “scandal” will be ignored.
I don’t think it is going to blow over.
Fairfax is facing impeachment articles being filed Monday (see my other posting right before this one).
The optics:
BLACK MAN TAKEN OUT OF OFFICE.
So Northam opens a can of worms and the African American takes the fall?
No.
Dems will be demanding his head as well. They can’t run on the false narrative of Trump=racist in 2020 with a Virginia (swing state) Governor in the KKK/blackface photo out there. He’s doing too much damage to the party.
But that photo isn’t a legit reason to impeach. Look for some other scandal to erupt to force him out the door. They’re digging right now you can bet.
The moonwalking press conference... killing live babies. God knows what’s next out of this guy.
