Let me also add….

As DJ also noted..the Lt Governor of Virginia may also have a serious scandal on his hands. If the allegations against him are proven to be credible then he’s also “gotz ta go.”

I’m a day late getting to this (been away dealing with a family crisis but it’s good to be back home).

My initial reaction when this mess began to unfold was I don’t see how this guy survives this scandal and keeps his job!?! However given the vile and vulgar and racist ignoramus currently in the White House all kinds of bars have been lowered to the point of non-existence. So might there be a SLIM chance that Northam actually survive this?

Hmmm…we shall see.

But for the record: I feel he should have resigned already.

Politico:
Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax said Monday that it’s no coincidence an uncorroborated sexual assault accusation from more than a decade ago has emerged right as he potentially could be elevated to the state’s governorship.

The accusation surfaced Sunday night on the fledgling conservative website Big League Politics, the same site that on Friday unearthed a racist photo on Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s yearbook page that has gravely imperiled his governorship.

Fairfax first responded to the allegations in a statement posted to Twitter at about 3 a.m. on Monday in which he threatened legal action against “those attempting to spread this defamatory and false allegation.”

The statement, attributed to his chief of staff and communications director, said that Fairfax was aware of the accusation against him and that his accuser had approached the Post before his inauguration last year. It said that the Post “carefully investigated the claim for several months” and decided not to publish a story “after being presented with facts inconsistent” with Fairfax’s denial, “the absence of any evidence corroborating the allegation, and significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegations.”

In a news conference Monday in Richmond, Fairfax said he wasn’t sure why the accusations had resurfaced, but he said the timing was was suspect.

“Does anybody think it’s any coincidence that on the eve of potentially my being elevated that that’s when this uncorroborated smear comes out?” he asked. “Does anybody believe that’s a coincidence? I don’t think anybody believes that’s a coincidence, again, particularly with something — this is not the first time this was brought up.”
