Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
Virginia’s Lieutenant Gov. Justin Fairfax, next in the line of succession should Gov. Ralph Northam (D) resign, retained the same law firm that represented Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in January 2018. His accuser, associate Professor Vanessa Tyson, has recently hired the firm that represented professor Christine Blasey Ford.
Tyson released a lengthy statement on Wednesday describing vividly her alleged assault by Fairfax at the Democratic National Convention in 2004.
Fairfax is denying the allegation.
This scandal joins the other two roiling Virginia at the moment, after Northam was discovered to have a picture of a man in blackface and one in a Ku Klux Klan robe on his yearbook page and Attorney General Mark Herring (third in line) revealed that a picture of him in blackface also exists. The fourth in the line of succession, should all three men resign, is the Republican speaker of the House of Delegates, Kirk Cox.
and of course …Blasey Ford’s team will win this time because fairness…
or Dem accused
or something
The law firm that represented Kavanaugh, eh? Sorry, you may be innocent but why would you hire that firm, being a Dem after what Barf’s confirmation did to a lot of the nation? Poor, poor choice.
Always believe the women. It’s the same story with the men, they always deny it.
I don’t “always” believe anyone based on their gender, religion, politics, race, etc. Sure, in most instances of these assault cases the woman is being truthful. But “always”??? No chance, there have been plenty of cases where the woman lied, this is established fact. I will say that you “always” take the accusations seriously, that’s a definite.
Hey they got their last guilty client off!
Valid choice based on past results, I guess, but once again, not a good look. Virginia Democrats at the top seem to be an unusually tone-deaf bunch.
