DineshDSouza Gee, if I did that to a woman I would be in jail. Why isn’t he in jail yet? Maybe we should put him in jail next February.

GOP senators must be saying, how can I ask Fairfax to resign when I voted for Trump to be president even though he confessed he grabbed many women by the pussy without their consent and voted for Bert C to be on the highest court of the land even though many women accused him.

Rape and grabbing women by the pussy are disgusting crime and must be called out by all decent people, but it seems Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins and Joe Manchin are not that decent. They are keeping Schtum, which is a shame. I wonder why. All those GOP senators must be saying...

DineshDSouza So sick of the these politicians!! Get out all three of them!!!!!

Trump should step down because of his also.

DineshDSouza Don't all the victims have 'a right to be believed'? Goes both ways, not just on one side of the political aisle or whenever it's convenient for one political party or the other. Use the same standard for everyone.

DineshDSouza I said prove it when it came for Kavanaugh and I say prove it for Fairfax. At some point this she said shit needs to end.

Bye, bye Justin....your Johnson done you in....

DineshDSouza Where is metoo movement & Hollywood is so loud against Justice Kavanaugh hearing? And those woman harassing the Republicans party anywhere they go? These people is HYPOCRITE! Including the Democrat politicians.

DineshDSouza It is written - innocent until proven guilty. Prosecute, then remove him from office.

DineshDSouza Interesting that Washington post neglects to include the fact that first accuser approached them with the info a year ago...

DineshDSouza Twitter blocks me anytime I use the word starting with D for the other party. Why I wonder. They fear minorities that are not servants of the D party.

DineshDSouza Looks like democrat party specializes in black face make ups and sexual assaults.

DineshDSouza WP reporting actual news, I don’t believe it.

Can we force Trump to resign, too? He has 17 allegations against him.

Wondering if the VA political machine threatening impeachment of the Lt Governor ahead of the Governor is racially motivated, whether they are trying to get the black man out of the line of succession before they go after their Governor? 🤔

DineshDSouza bet the DEMOCRAPS in va regret voting for this cereal sexual assaulter !!! glad we have trump as president because he would never do such a thing !!!! this is why i am a registered republiCAN !!!!

Those three corrupt politicians Auto resign immediately

DineshDSouza As I said with Kavanaugh the facts need to be seen and testimony heard. These knee jerk reactions are detrimental to our rule of law!

DineshDSouza He says that he is innocent. I'm willing to believe him. His accusers have presented no proof and after recent 'me too' efforts to achieve political goals have been shown to be baseless lies there is absolutely no reason to believe his accusers. We follow the rule of Law...!!

DineshDSouza Funny how the Democrats are going after the black guy? What about the 2 white guys who did blackface?

WaPo has done a shit job on this story all the way around. The reporting BLOWS. Allegations and facts are different. Your job is to discern FACTS. ktumulty didnt even know Judge was in the room in the Ford story. Thats some high-school paper level reporting right there.

Isn't it good to wait till the investigation is over? Not guilty until proven. Even though he may be a spineless person who was willing to throw under the bus the guy who hired him and who was responsible for legislating laws favorable to the underprivileged, he deserves justice.

DineshDSouza believeAllWomen

Well played by the Republican puppet master. First they discredited Northam, with help of the Dems (which had Fairfax as backup). Then they revealed Fairfax as a sexual predetor and suddenly a Rep is on his way in... My advice is for Northam to stay!

DineshDSouza They should all resign and coin flip for the successor

DineshDSouza Dems trying to get focus off of Northam's infanticide comments offer a sacrificial alternative regardless of due process.

DineshDSouza Why should he resign? Why should any of them resign? They represent their party and their voters perfectly. Baby killing, rapist, bigots (aka democrats)

DineshDSouza Didn't he also wear white face.

hope the man’s color has nothing to do with such remarkable media coverage

DineshDSouza But not the KKK brothers? 😏 Dems gonna Dem.

DineshDSouza Democrats are truly all ddiicckkeedd up.

DineshDSouza DOUCHEBAG

DineshDSouza He should do the right thing and step down

DineshDSouza I want proof first

Funny why are the Democrats being so quiet about this. If this had been a republican they would have been screaming bloody murder

DineshDSouza Because I am republican I believe he is innocent until proven guilty. 🇺🇸

WHAT? This can’t be right!! Democrats are supposed to be immune from stuff like this!! They get away with everything. Even the MeTooMovement!! This has to be fakenews!! LGJustinFairfax.

DineshDSouza Looks like another American of African decent is railroaded because a white democrat DNC got into trouble. Everything (KKK) old is new again. BLEXIT

JoeFreedomLove A few days ago, the Communist had already nominated LGJustinFairfax the new governor of VA and the editors demand GovernorVA to resign over an old picture. Is calling for LGJustinFairfax’s resignation now?

DineshDSouza Must hurt you to say that

Lt. Gov.Fairfax Must resign.

DineshDSouza Bill Cosby Jr.

DineshDSouza Even though he’s a democrat POS! Where’s the proof? Innocent until proven guilty is the law of the land.

DineshDSouza I reiterate... I hope he sticks it out. I am not nor will I ever be a Democrat, nor do I support their policies... I dont want to see accusations alone impune professional careers.

DineshDSouza Out of control...

Give the guy a chance to defend himself. Isn’t that what our Trump supporting friends told us?

DineshDSouza He should go hide with the governor

DineshDSouza Isn’t the Washington Post owned by Amazons CEO Bezos that texts out seminude pictures of himself?

Dont get your pants on an up roar. How many accuse Kavenaugh. Let let them have there day in court. This guy should stay right where he is still fact are proven.

DineshDSouza so the two white racist Democrats we just forgot about and gonna just lynch this brother typical for the party of hypocrisy.

Dems gave up due process with Kananaugh, so you can all go to hell now.

This is the modern Democratic party ladies and gentleman. This dude was probably the loudest voice against Kavanaugh. Hypocrites every one.

He has a right to due process.

More than two sexual accusations perpetuated by Trump & Kavanaugh! Where’s the public outrage for them to resign? Very Very hypocritical!!

Calls from who? Leftist hypocrite ms are disgusting.

DineshDSouza He is a Democrat, I'm sure it was all just a misunderstanding...!

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Where's due process this is still America, right? There should be an investigation & we should care whether he's guilty or not instead of rushing to judgement.

DineshDSouza What's happening to our country? What's happening to the rule of law? I'm NOT defending Fairfax. I'm afraid we're descending into mob rule. Is any man accused by any woman WITHOUT any proof to be immediately considered guilty?

DineshDSouza What about the Virginia governor who commented that a mother and her doctor should discuss what to do with 'it' after it's born? NorthamMustResign

They had to distract over the abortion comment, turn it into race then have trump in the mix to hide the fact they want infanticide.

DineshDSouza If nothing else the D party is consistent. Guilty until proven innocent. Due process. Then it can be decided who is telling the truth and what should happen.

DineshDSouza They should love their own medicine. Guilty on arrival!!

DineshDSouza Resign & Move on!

DineshDSouza No matter the political stance, everyone deserves due process. Allegations, regardless of how many, alone should not convict anyone.

Is this the new justice, we try all in the Media? Just like Mr. Bezos, Mr. Fairfax should have his day in court. Public opinion can be damaging for all concerned. Accusations are not the truth until verified. We have lost that in your Op-Ed world.

Hypocritical Panderers

DineshDSouza I don't hear all the Elitist Left shouting BELIEVE HER 🤔

But Kavanaugh.

DineshDSouza He’s still in his post?

I’m sure another victim will come forward in a few days

youngdems yrnf To all you Young politicos watching this and considering a life in politics-read this first: The Capitol Hill Playbook by Nick Balthazar. Forewarned is fore-armed.

These accusations should be verified don’t forget due process

DineshDSouza Due process is important. In all criminal matters. Inclucing those involving politicians.

There should be an investigation of the lieutenant governor of Virginia before asking for his resignation.

DineshDSouza What is going to happen to the white governor and his third in command?

DineshDSouza Rape is a REAL crime

DineshDSouza What has happened to do process of the law? Why are we doing the exact same thing to him we screamed about with how they handled Kavanaugh .. Due Process please

DineshDSouza SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer are the party of the party of infanticide, Robert Byrd, Bill Clinton, Ralph Northam, Justin Fairfax and Mark Herring...

DineshDSouza Two words::: DUE PROCESS

What ever happend to due process? Presumption of innocence? Decisions based on allegations? If there is wrong then a complaint needs to filed and investigated. Horrible precedence and complete disregard of our American legal process. A lynching w/o evidence! Fools!

DineshDSouza All three should resign. Anyone see a double standard here!!!!!

lf you can't prove a man guilty ,there must not enough evidence to hold him accountable.

DineshDSouza Virginia looking like they about to 🔥 down.

DineshDSouza Notice how quiet GovernorVA is today? BlackFace ResignRalph

DineshDSouza I don’t pay any attention to the Amazon newsletter

I’d rather see him twist in the wind. BelieveAllWomen Amazing how the vademocrats are standing behind a rapist hoping this goes away.

DineshDSouza Any evidence that he did it?

DineshDSouza Dems reveal how they work. Keep the two white proven racist guys. Dump the black accused rapey guy. DineshDSouza is a prophet.

Ya, but did he wear black face while sexually assaulting? 🤭

The entire government of Virginia should turn in their klan robes and blackface and sex toys and resign.

DineshDSouza I utterly detest Demrats but if the 'Rape' was so traumatic why wait years

Do what is best the party. He blow it!

DineshDSouza It would be a shame if it was found out he was a gang rapist in college and drank a beer

DineshDSouza The calls can mount all they want. Nothing will happen.

DOUBLE STANDARD LYING DEMOCRATS NEED TO BE RUN OUT OF OFFICE LIKE YOU WOULD RUN A DISGRACED PERSON OUT OF TOWN OR THIS COUNTRY, BY FORCE IF NECESSARY !!!!

DineshDSouza Two white Democrats caught being racist and the only one to resign is the black guy lol.

Did she report it to Campus Police? Or tell any1 about it? Sorry, sounds like more GOP smear tactics. &, re: 1st accusation: he 'forced' her to give him blowjob? NOT credible. Says he held her head down, but she couldn't get away? Why not BITE him? Prob'ly just disgusted w/ self!

come on 'VIRGINIA IS FOR LOVERS'

DineshDSouza Move to New York Justin Fairfax, anything goes there!

Over claims by females he FORCED them into oral sex? Surely you jest. Females with teeth, FORCED into oral sex!? Perhaps you are unclear, oral sex involves man inserting his tongue into the vagina and his penis in her mouth. If she wants neither, she need only apply her teeth.

DineshDSouza RACE CARD PLAYED IN 3, 2, 1...

Meanwhile, accusations against traitor in the White House seem to have completely escaped any serious calls for resignation by our vaunted press corp... 😒

So, what's the position of post-Kavanaugh Republicans?

DineshDSouza At this point the only thing will bring healing to this country is for the Democratic Party to disband.

2 KKK white, Democrats governor and AG isn’t resigning but the black man Lt governor is asked for resignation or impeachment by a White democrat in the Virginia House. WTF?

DineshDSouza I have a feeling there will be even more woman coming forward! Men like this don’t stop at one or two. I mean look st Cosby and Weinstein. Are they in prison yet? Someone should look into this. News fades away and they may be enjoying life at home.

We generally called for investigation of Kavanaugh. We should be doing the same for Fairfax, and needs to be targeted, thorough, & fast. If investigation shows positive evidence of the crimes, then he should resign. If not, then he should stay on. Goose meet gander-good for both

DineshDSouza Rape is a real crime

He should've leave before Northam does.

DineshDSouza A serial sexual rapist for lt Governor & a KKK grandmaster for Governor ! Wow wth is going on inside the Democrat Party?

DineshDSouza Virginia deserves better...

Should there not be a law enforcement investigation first? I am getting tired of old accusations costing ppl their careers. On the other extreme the FBI did not do a thorough investigation on Kavanaugh. A full and thorough invest by law enforcement before we destroy someone.

DineshDSouza Please show me the facts.

Such a dilemma. If he is truly a rapist, he has no business in public office. On the other had why should a black Lieutenant Gov. be held to a higher standard than a white SCOTUS and POTUS

DineshDSouza 24/7, repeat, repeat...untill he admits it. About time Lib/Dems face their own pointing fingers. 'Fairfax = actual harassment'

...and he shouldn’t without a legal fight...

This is now a nasty soap opera...that is vomit inducing

He won't resign

DineshDSouza Again I ask, where are all the people who SHREDDED JUSTICE KAVANAUGH for allegations from 30yrs ago with NO evidence! WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE you freaking hypocrites! SenFeinstein SenKamalaHarris CoryBooker Alyssa_Milano MeTooMVMT CRICKETS 🦗 You all are disgusting! RunAway

....anytime someone comes out of the woodwork 10-15-20 years later it makes me wonder. Why?

How does this work. 2-3 resign. 4-5 scotus gig. 19-20 GOP potus candidate?

Virginia is the new Florida.

DineshDSouza Democrat White Privilege: When Virginia’s Governor and the A.G. get a free pass while the Black Lt. Gov gets thrown under the bus.

Shouldn’t there be some due process?

DineshDSouza Innocent until proven guilty regardless of political affiliation.

DineshDSouza Accusations, previous witnesses, emails involving him. Yet democrats arent going after him with the hatred they did kavanaugh which was hearsay and no witnesses, foggy memory. Double standard demcratsarehypocrites

DineshDSouza Nobody will resign or be impeached. Mark my words.

DineshDSouza Just like the molester BillClinton, democrats love this type of person.

DineshDSouza They will not step down willingly, once entrenched they automatically assume they are above reproach!

They all need to resign 😡😡🐸

DineshDSouza and we are off LOL

Sacrificial lamb for the mob.

DineshDSouza Paging ShannonSharpe ! Paging Shannon. Selective tweeting i reckon .. can’t make this up. Crickets crickets .. smh..

Ironic, 2 guys in black face get black guy to take fall

Testimony from all three under oath, first

But what about the recently exposed racist in black face, Northam? They’re not demanding he resign? Oh yeah, that’s right, this is being done to take the attention off of the racist who refused to resign. Amerikkka

Latest news cycle shows Dems have been busy with sexual assault, lying about their heritage and dressing as klansmen or in black face lately.

DineshDSouza If he resigns and the baby murderer Gov doesn't, it will be Libtardgeddon.

The white racists get to stay though. Sad.

Rape is wrong!!! No discussion on that. What's also wrong is for these women to stay silent for so long. Fairfax hasn't been hiding, why were his accusers? Women need to speak up NOW, not when it's politically motivated.

DineshDSouza How about Northam and the Ag

Forget the racist photo though, right? Hypocrites

Just wait. There will be more?

DineshDSouza I would not step down until the other two racist asswipes stepped down with me.

DineshDSouza RESIGN !! It's that SIMPLE !

⬛C

NORTHAM, FAIRFAX & HERRING HAVE 2 GO! W/ them in office the Dems best attacks against Trump, (the good ol reliable racism & sexism smears) are dead ahead of 2020 when they will need them most. That's worth more to Dems than all 3 of them & the gov seat.

The left shows again they do not believe the fundamental human right of due process.

not a good look using kavanaugh defense...smh

Profoundly disappointed in the Dems leading Va. if the Republican ends up next in line he too should face the same scrutiny however. But the Republicans count on unity to suppress scandals. How is Brian Kemp not in trouble for rigging his own election?

Typical Dem logic. Let's hang the black guy out to dry while sweeping the whole black face scandal under the rug.🙄

The boomerang affect.

He needs to at least step aside and allow a full unhindered FBI investigation, and I expect no less when it's realDonaldTrump s turn, because if 2 is enough what is 16?

does he need due process ?

VA Dems did nothing when “only” one woman accused LGJustinFairfax of rape...

He should take leave and sweat out an investigation.

Just like with kavenaugh can we get the facts first? I'm a conservative and this is setting a dangerous precedent with the guilty before proven innocent ahit going on

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Who is standing on the side of due process? Any of the people tasked with protecting it?

But massah! The white guys ain’t givin’ up!

2nd woman accuses Virginia official of sexual assaultWASHINGTON (AP) — A second woman accused Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault Friday, saying the Democrat raped her 19 years ago while they were both students at Duke University. Calls for his resignation grew steadily as the day wore on. A lawyer for Meredith Watson, 39, said in a statement that Fairfax had attacked Watson in 2000. The statement described the assault as 'premeditated and aggressive,' and noted that while Watson and Fairfax had been social friends, they were never involved romantically. Oh good grief. Now that it’s happening to the Democrats suddenly the same standard doesn’t apply. I’m so worn out of these double standards It’s always the black guy!

Tim Kaine of Virginia is calling on Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax to resign after two women went public with allegations of sexual assault against Fairfax. Kaine says his fellow Democrat cannot effectively serve and should step down. In issuing a statement Friday evening, Kaine broke from other party elders like Sen. Mark Warner and U.S. Rep. Bobby Scott, who did not directly call for Fairfax's resignation. A second woman came forward Friday to accuse Fairfax, a Democrat, of sexual assault. She said the attack took place when she and Fairfax were students at Duke University. Earlier this week, California college professor Vanessa Tyson accused Fairfax of forcing her to perform oral sex on him in 2004 in a Boston hotel room during the Democratic National Convention. Fairfax has denied wrongdoing, called for investigations and said he won't resign. POTUSPress Who cares khashoggi He needs to go too.
