This morning, I heard CBS News interview Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax about preparations for the gun rights rally at the state capitol today. Fairfax praised the racist governor Northam for all the planning to keep the protest peaceful and "unlike Charlotte". It was jarring to hear this guy on the radio.
For those who don't remember, Fairfax was accused a year ago by two different women of sexually abusing them. One, a prominent college professor, said that Fairfax forced himself on her at the 2004 Democrat national convention. After those allegations surfaced, a second woman stepped forward to say that something similar had happened to her. The allegations haven't been tried in court, but they seemed extremely substantial and likely valid.
I know that when the allegations surfaced. Fairfax was dumped by his law firm and had to resign from a number of positions. There were calls for Fairfax to resign as Lt. Gov. but apparently nothing came of them. Indeed, having Fairfax in that position was a guarantee for Northam that he wouldn't be forced from office. After all, would the Virginia Democrats want to oust a racist Democrat governor only to put Fairfax in his place? I can see the headlines: "Change of one letter -- Racist to Rapist."
