You criticise my comprehension?

Ok.

 

I just have to say that is a classic. And I am glad I caught this exchange.

 

UPDATE.
Governor Coonman just said he will not resign, despite the fact that he has been in hiding all week using underground tunnels to move between the Executive Mansion and the Capital so as to dodge everyone.

AND
SECOND WOMAN COMES FORWARD and accuses Lt Gov. Fairfax of rape while they were both at Duke, and she would appear to have testimony and collaboration to back her claim

 

And then, their was two....

Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax accused of second sexual assault

Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax was hit with a new allegation of sexual assault on Friday afternoon, just days after the embattled Democrat was accused of sexually assaulting a separate woman in 2004. Fairfax denied the claim, labeling it "demonstrably false."



Meridith Watson was “raped” by Justin Fairfax in 2000 “while they were both students at Duke University,” Smith Mullin P.C., legal counsel representing Watson, alleged in a Friday news release.


“Mr. Fairfax’s attack was premeditated and aggressive,” the release went on to claim. “The two were friends but never dated or had any romantic relationship.

“Ms. Watson shared her account of the rape with friends in a series of emails and Facebook messages that are now in our possession. Additionally, we have statements from former classmates corroborating that Ms. Watson immediately told friends that Mr. Fairfax had raped her.”

"I deny this latest unsubstantiated allegation. It is demonstrably false. I have never forced myself on anyone ever," Fairfax said in a statement after the accusation was made public. "I demand a full investigation into these unsubstantiated and false allegations," Fairfax continued. "Such an investigation will confirm my account because I am telling the truth."


Fairfax said the allegation was part of a "vicious and coordinated smear campaign" orchestrated against him. He also pledged not to resign.

But the newest claim, combined with the allegation made earlier this week, led to calls for Fairfax to step down.

"The allegations against Justin Fairfax are serious and credible," Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe tweeted Friday. "It is clear to me that he can no longer effectively serve the people of Virginia as Lieutenant Governor. I call for his immediate resignation."

Earlier this week, California college professor Vanessa Tyson accused Fairfax of forcing her to perform oral sex on him in 2004 during the Democratic National Convention. Fairfax called the allegation a political smear.

 

Yeppers this is toast. The one thing about sexual abusers is almost always the "only one" is the first one. And more victims will step forward.

And I have to wonder if at this point Fairfax will get off with resigning. It sounds like he could face charges.

 

The state Dems are preparing articles of impeachment to be delivered Monday, and yes , talk of charges is in the air.

 

Virginia State Senator Tommy Norment Edited Yearbook With Blackface, Slurs

Virginia state Sen. Tommy Norment was once the managing editor of a yearbook chock-full of racial slurs and images depicting blackface, according to a report by The Virginian-Pilot.

Norment, the Republican majority leader of the state Senate, oversaw the Virginia Military Institute’s yearbook in 1968, the news outlet reports. In that yearbook, students appear dressed in blackface in several photos, and racial slurs are used regularly. In one instance, a student from Bangkok, Thailand, is called a “Jap” and a “Chink.” A caption under another unidentified man’s photo reads: “He was known as the ‘Barracks Jew’ having his fingers in the finances of the entire Corps.”

The VMI yearbook, called “The Bomb,” has been published continuously since 1897. You can see the whole yearbook here.


Norment released a statement on Thursday, confirming his status as a former managing editor but deflecting responsibility for the pages that contained offensive material.

“The use of blackface is abhorrent in our society and I emphatically condemn it,” he said. “As one of seven working on a 359-page yearbook, I cannot endorse or associate myself with every photo, entry, or word on each page. However, I am not in any of the photos referenced on pages 82 or 122, nor did I take any of the photos in question.”

The politician went on to note that he “supported the integration of VMI.”

On Wednesday, when HuffPost’s Daniel Marans asked if Norment had ever appeared in blackface, a spokesman had responded that he has a policy of not talking to HuffPost.

Norment is now the fourth Virginia political figure in the past week to face his own scandal and the third whose controversy involved the use of blackface.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) ― who himself graduated from VMI in 1981 ― faced bipartisan calls for his resignation after the news broke that his medical school yearbook page included a photo of one person in blackface and another in Ku Klux Klan garb. Northam denied that he was either person but admitted to wearing blackface on another occasion.

On Wednesday, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring (D) admitted that he once wore blackface, when he dressed up as a rapper for a party decades ago.

Meanwhile, Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) has been accused of forcing a woman to perform oral sex in 2004.

This story has been updated with comment from Norment.

Lt Governor Justin Fairfax is done and his political career is over. The only thing that remains to be seen now is just ugly and destructive its going to have to get before Fairfax accepts that. Because some sexual assaulters pay the price and some don't. But the thing we all know is the pattern by now. An accuser steps forward. The accused denies it. That really pisses the other women the accused assaulted and so they start stepping forward. And that is how we know they are guilty whether they are forced to resign, end up getting charged, or in some cases get promoted. But no matter which way they go they are all ruined for life, because just by the repeated pattern and common sense people know they are guilty.

Virginia Democratic Party Calls on Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax to Resign

Virginia scandals show Dems aren’t champions of women and minorities


No matter what comes of the racial scandals involving Virginia’s Democratic governor and attorney general – and of allegations of sexual assault against the Democratic lieutenant governor – we know this: Democratic claims to be the champions of women and minorities have been exposed as a blatant lie.



We also know that the Democrats’ rush to abandon the right of due process and the concept of innocent until proven guilty has now come back to bite them.


The Democratic attack on these basic concepts of our justice system was on full display when Senate Democrats decided to use violence against women as a political tool to try unsuccessfully last year to derail Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation.



And we know one more thing: the Democratic frenzy to condemn men accused of sexual crimes as soon as allegations are made has reduced women to transactional weapons in political warfare.


It has now become clear that while falsely claiming they are the singular champions for women and protectors against all things conservative and evil, the Democrats have managed to complete the ultimate and final objectification of women.

During Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation hearing, Democrats decided to weaponize violence against women in an effort to destroy that innocent man and his family.

Throughout the obscene charade, I warned this would damage decades-long efforts to establish the seriousness of sexual assault and the importance of women to be taken seriously on the issue.

Americans believe in due process for the accused. Women have never demanded to be automatically believed; we have worked to be taken seriously. The Democrats have decided those values were too inconvenient.

The Kavanaugh hearing was so significant because Americans saw the end result of what happens when serious social issues are deliberately politicized for raw political gain, as both race and sex are by the Democratic Party.

Consider what it means for the Democrats to claim control of an issue that is at the core of the quality of life for a group they say they represent – and simultaneously malign and demonize their political opponents not as wrong on the issues, but as evil and dangerous enemies of the people.

When the social problems faced by your constituencies become your political weapon and bread and butter, solving those issues becomes impossible.

Fairfax is experiencing the end result of the Democratic agenda that weaponizes women’s issues against Republicans. While the concept of guilty until proven innocent was supposed to only affect Republicans, that monster has escaped its cage and is now attacking its creators.

For years, the Democrats have claimed to be the champion for women and people of color. This claim – though not accurate – has paid political dividends, resulting in most women, African-American and Hispanic voters casting ballots for Democrats.

But now in Virginia, Gov. Ralph Northam – a white Democrat – has been sharply criticized after a photo of one person wearing blackface and another dressed in a Ku Klux Klan robe was discovered on his page in his 1984 medical school yearbook.

At first Northam said he was in the picture, then he denied it. Then he admitted he had worn blackface in a dance contest. Now Democratic elected officials in Virginia and across the nation have demanded he resign, but he is refusing.

The blackface disclosures came to light after a medical school colleague was appalled hearing Northam speak casually about the appropriateness of “third trimester abortion” – a convenient euphemism for infanticide.

In the meantime, Mark Herring, Virginia’s white Democratic attorney general, has also admitted to wearing blackface as a college student, when he and some friends darkened their faces and put on wigs to dress up as rappers for a costume party when he was 19. This didn’t cause as much of a firestorm as the Northam incident, but some Democrats called for Herring to resign as well.

And in the newest scandal, Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, an African-American man serving his first term in elected office, has been accused by two women of sexual assault. One woman says Fairfax forced her to perform oral sex on him, while the other woman alleges that Fairfax raped her.

Fairfax strongly denies both accusations and issued statements saying he has never assaulted anyone.

During the Kavanagh hearing, conservative voices decried the abandonment of due process for Judge Kavanaugh as leading Democrats actually argued that women accusers should be automatically believed – a rejection of the presumption of innocence and due process, keystones in civilized societies.

When it came to Kavanaugh – an outstanding judge with a sterling record of public service and extraordinary judicial qualifications – one Senate Democrat stated he “bears the burden to disprove the allegations,” while another senator publicly stated Kavanaugh did not deserve the presumption of innocence.

This rejection of the presumption of innocence and due process – safeguards designed to ensure that innocent people are not unjustly convicted of crimes – was both breathtaking and frightening.

In Virginia, Fairfax is now facing calls for his resignation by most Democratic leaders in his state and nationally – despite the fact that he denies the allegations. One state lawmaker has promised to start impeachment proceedings against Fairfax if he does not resign by Monday.

Fairfax is experiencing the end result of the Democratic agenda that weaponizes women’s issues against Republicans. While the concept of guilty until proven innocent was supposed to only affect Republicans, that monster has escaped its cage and is now attacking its creators.

For a party that falsely projects its racism and sexism onto its conservative political opponents, it is worth noting that Virginia and national Democratic leaders are scrambling to sacrifice a black lieutenant governor who is besieged by unproven accusations. There have been calls for Northam and Herring to resign, but the intensity of the focus is now on Fairfax.

The reason Herring hasn’t been targeted is obvious: If Northam resigns, Fairfax would become governor. If a Gov. Fairfax resigns, Herring would become governor. But if a Gov. Herring resigns, Virginia House Speaker Kirk Cox – a Republican – would become governor. That’s something Democrats would hate to see.

Republicans should also have some questions: How did GOP opposition research not uncover the remarkable history of both Northam and Herring wearing blackface?

The Washington Post had been given information about the one of the allegations against Fairfax over a year ago. How is it that this story died in the darkness at that newspaper?

If the voters had this information about the candidates, it likely would have impacted the votes of some. But the information never came out.


The Democrats are now faced with giving Northam and possibly Herring a pass for arguably racist behavior because they don’t want a Republican as governor. But if the GOP had done a better job supporting the Trump-endorsed candidate, Northam never would have been governor in the first place.

It is time for women and people of color to reject a Democratic Party that has been using them and their issues for exclusively political reasons, reducing us to convenient transactional weapons. Oh sure, they talk a good game – but that’s just a distraction as they stuff us into the cannon.

 

This, out of your post, needs to have some serious emphasis on it

 

It is so fucking funny to see the right still trying to fan the flames that somehow the Democrats are being hypocrites or have double standards when it comes to this in the face of overwhelming evidence that is not true.

The Democrats are not treating the accusations against Justin Fairfax any different than they treated Brett Kavanaugh.

So its the OP and the right proving what hypocrites they really are.

 

Your twisting and spinning never leaves me guessing.

 

What happened to “ Innocent till proven guilty “

 

Virginia Lawmaker Backs Off Plan to Impeach Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax

LOL, how many minions want to server in a sexual predator's Democrat clown closet?

There they go, like rats from a sinking ship...

Four staffers working for Virginia Lt. Gov. resign amid sexual assault allegations

Four staffers working for embattled Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax resigned Monday, leaving him with a skeleton crew as calls grow for him to step down amid two sexual assault allegations.


Fairfax’s policy director, Adele McClure, and scheduler, Julia Billingsly, both called it quits Monday, as did David Mills and Courtney McCargo, two employees of his We Rise Together political action committee, Fairfax's spokeswoman Lauren Burke said.


Mills is a former executive director of the Democratic Party of Virginia and is married to state Democratic Sen. Jennifer McClellan, the vice chair of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, which has called on Fairfax to step down.

Video

The departures were first reported by the Richmond Times Dispatch and confirmed by Fox News. Fairfax is accused of sexual assault in two cases that date back nearly two decades.

His first accuser, Vanessa C. Tyson, a professor at Scripps College in California, alleges that Fairfax forced her to perform oral sex on him in July 2004 during the Democratic National Convention in Boston. A lawyer for another woman accusing Fairfax of sexual assault, Meredith Watson, said in a statement that Fairfax raped Watson in 2000 when they were students at Duke University, calling the alleged attack “premeditated and aggressive.”



Fairfax has denied both allegations and claim they are part of a smear campaign against him and he doesn’t intend to resign.

“I did not sexually assault Meredith Watson, Vanessa Tyson or anyone else, and the truth will help to confirm that statement,” he said. “And we’re looking forward to these independent investigations to get at the truth.”

Video
The allegations by Watson, which emerged late Friday, led to a bipartisan wave of calls for him to step down. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., wrote on Twitter that Fairfax “can no longer effectively serve the Commonwealth."



Duke University, where Fairfax earned a bachelor’s degree, last week asked him to step down from the Sanford School of Public Policy Board of Visitors until the allegations are resolved.

The law firm where Fairfax has been a partner since last September, Morrison & Foerster, has hired an outside firm to conduct its own investigation into the allegations against Fairfax.

 

Kay. Shooter is confused.
We know politicians as a rule get into public office cause, you know, they get to fuck everyone over.
And get paid for it.

So, explain again, what the problem is with this particular fucking?
Is this one of those sexual preference thingys?
