In the days since a conservative website surfaced allegations of sexual assault made against Virginia’s Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D), he’s been speculating at which of his political rivals planted the story, which he claims is false and intended to derail his career.
According to the New York Times, he found his latest target in Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney (D), a possible competitor in the race for the 2021 Democratic nomination for governor.
Stoney was having none of it. “The insinuation is 100 percent not true, and frankly it’s offensive,” he told the Times.
Fairfax has also laid blame at the doorstep of embattled Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D), asking Monday if anyone thought it was a “coincidence” that the story emerged as fellow Democrats are calling on Northam to resign, a move that would give Fairfax a huge promotion.
Per the Times, Fairfax walked the accusation back later, saying he had “no indication” that Northam’s people were behind the accusation.
Just wondering how both these dudes got elected ?
Was it without any oppo research?
These are not little skeletons, but a full blown crypt of corpses.
Who writes this stuff?
Seriously—who needs Breitbart when you can get headlines like this right here?
It appears Fairfax doth protest too much. Not a good sign.
Proper vetting of these folks might have been helpful. Who was running them?
Great care must be taken when dealing with the political consultant class. They get paid big bucks to turn the crank on the political machinery, but obviously they require careful vetting, themselves.
