Democrats were already in a terrible news cycle.
Extreme comments on full-term abortions and yearbook photos featuring blackface and KKK robes were already rocking Virginia Dems.
Then more news just broke that threatens to throw the state into a Constitutional crisis.
Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax Faces Sexual Assault Claim and WaPo Swipe-Back
Fairfax (D) was hit with rumors early this week that he had sexually assaulted a fellow staffer in 2004.
The charges came from a conservative news site, but as the story picked up steam, Fairfax denied the claims.
But he didn’t deny the whole encounter.
Fairfax confirmed that he did engage in consensual sex with the accuser.
“We hit it off, she was very interested in me, and so eventually, at one point, we ended up going to my hotel room,” Fairfax told reporters Monday.1
Fairfax’s accuser says the encounter went much further.
Washington Examiner reports, “Fairfax and the woman met in Boston at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. When the two went back to Fairfax’s hotel room, she alleges they began consensually kissing before Fairfax forced her to perform oral sex. She told the Washington Post the two realized they had a mutual friend and one afternoon Fairfax asked her to walk with him to his hotel room to pick up some papers.”
However, Fairfax denied the allegations that any part of the interaction was forced.
To back up his defense, Fairfax’s spokesman stated the Washington Post looked into the story, but found too many holes to go to print.
“The Post carefully investigated the claim for several months. After being presented with the facts consistent with the Lt. Governor’s denial of the allegation, the absence of any evidence corroborating the allegation, and significant red flags and inconsistencies with the allegations, the Post made the considered decision not to publish the story.”1
But the Washington Post immediately rebutted Fairfax’s claim.
“The Post did not find ‘significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegations,’ as the Fairfax statement incorrectly said.”
What do you think?
Should the sexual assault claim against Justin Fairfax be further investigated?
Or should news sites refuse to run stories without thorough documentation?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
…be further investigated? Absolutely. Should news sites not run stories without documentation? Yes. In the responsible world of “journalism”, stories are investigated and documented with two independent sources. We are not living in that world, hence, “fake” news and biased, hyper-partisan political based reporting. Republicans are always investigated and narratives followed without context or full reporting. Ask the Covington Catholic School kids about that. Democrats are given a pass by the mainstream media. Documentation and verified sourcing has gone out the window. Ask Judges Roy Moore and Bret Kavanaugh about that.
Both Fairfax and Northam Should Resign
Throw the bums out. We don’t need either one of them in Virginia. Remember what the democrats did to associ as te supreme court justice Kavannaugh.
How come none of this came out while the jerks were running? Resign Northam and Fairfax!
Fairfax & Northam should resign. Just imagine if both were republicans; they both would have been hounded out of office the fist day.
Both Northam and Fairfax should resign. Join us for a .watch at Capitol in RICHMOND VIRGINIA 10 wear your yellow vests!
Absolutely be investigated. She has the right to be heard. Sounds credible

Right now it is a he said – she said story. Therefore, further investigation is absolutely necessary to reach the truth. How about they both be required to take lie detector tests to search for the truth.
