Don't know where your getting your information but it's wrong

call an election this year.This is dirty politics by Breitbart in combination with white supremacists....we need to stop allowing them to cause this sort of shit. Will update


A special election to replace Fairfax as lieutenant governor could be called, though it is not guaranteed. Fairfax may appoint his own replacement, Sabato said, but the state legislature could mandate that a special lieutenant governor election be held in November, when many of the state legislative seats are on the ballot.

With that said, the GOP is going to slander all of them and force them out.

are now beginning on Fairfax by the same group, we need to stand up. Northam should not resign nor should
Fairfax

They are playing us

They are succeeding

Expect other Democrats to be attacked in a similar fashion

Did we not learn anything from the destruction of ACORN?

Just curious-- would a special election take place this year (Virginia's entire legislature is on the ballot in November so it wouldn't be hard to do).

for the LT governor this year (legislative body), they could then trump up worse allegations about FAirfax and force him out and then possibly a GOP who is elected in the special would be governor...what have the Republicans got to lose?

Would Herring step in in the event that Justin Fairfax was pushed out? Or would the President ProTempore, Steven Newman (R), take over? I've read some states have differing rules on successor lineups. Whatever the case, the 'who' stepping in until a special election is held would be . . . of special significance.

And do I expect Republicans to be on the up and up? Hell, NO!

Fairfax out...and thus a new LT governor ...GOP would become governor...sure they might not win such an election, but what have they got to lose...no matter what they are creating chaos in an election year that will determine the legislature and the Senate in
Virginia. They can force an election for LT governor this year according to multiple sources. The one I read was Vox.

Republicans were scorched in the last election and are looking for retribution, anyway, anyhow, anything to boost their chances in 2020. This is information warfare leveled against Democrats and where are the biggest cache of voters that could turn an election? The African American community and women who are traditional Democratic voters.

There's a plan afoot and it ain't pretty.

our party.

I think Fairfax will survive an I am not that worried about losing a special election if Northam leaves. Virginia is close to be a blue a state and this is a desperate gamble to hang on to power.

rewarded with another attempt for the LT governor's seat this year which could allow them to get rid of Fairfax and assume the governorship.

I finally found a Ballotpedia reference for same. Calms me down . . . a little.

Big League Politics was founded in 2017 by a group of former Breitbart Newsstaffers, who decided that the nationalist media outlet previously run by Steve Bannon had gotten too mainstream. BLP started as the media arm of a pro-Trump, “populist nationalist” political action committee, which bills itself as the “attack dogs” for the American First Agenda. The site is now owned by North Carolina political consultant Reilly O’Neal, who worked for Roy Moore, the Alabama Senate candidate whose run was derailed by child molestation charges, and Corey Stewart, a Republican from Virginia popular with white supremacists for his support of Confederate monuments. Last year, Stewart unsuccessfully challenged Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), and the site covered his race extensively.

The man who first posted the Northam yearbook photo is BLP editor-in-chief Patrick Howley, a former reporter and provocateur for Breitbart and Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller. Howley has made news in the past, but for more (sic) ignoble reasons. In 2014, he and Carlson were forced to apologize to reporter Rosie Gray, then at BuzzFeed, after Howley tweeted a pair of gross, sexist comments about her. Breitbart also suspended Howley in 2016 after he publicly questioned whether one of his co-workers had lied when she said she’d been manhandled by Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski at a press event.

The allegation was first posted by Big League Politics, the same political blog that published the now-infamous yearbook photo showing someone in blackface and someone in a KKK costume, from Northam's 1984 yearbook page. ,,,,

The blog, in the post that prompted Fairfax's denial, claimed that a fellow at Stanford University said a man sexually assaulted her at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Mass.

“Imagine you were sexually assaulted during the DNC Convention in Boston in 2004 by a campaign staffer. You spend the next 13 years trying to forget it ever happened. Until one day you find out he’s the Democratic candidate for statewide office in a state some 3000 miles away, and he wins that election in November 2017,” a post from the reported accuser said, according to the blog. “Then, by strange, horrible luck, it seems increasingly likely that he’ll get a VERY BIG promotion.” ….

“The (Washington) Post carefully investigated the claim for several months,” Fairfax’s office said in a statement. “After being presented with 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 within the allegation, the Post made the considered decision not to publish the story.” ....

do this again. We can' afford to allow the GOP to attack our folks...and for God's sake, let us not join the ratfuckers in attacking our own ever again.

Nt

is nobody resigns. I mean nobody. I don't care if, to borrow a for instance, they shot somebody on fifth avenue. NOBODY!

at the slightest hint of controversy

This is pretty bad.
But there has to be a line of some sort. People say and do stupid things when theyre young. But some things are worse than others. I dont think this falls under "nitpicking", but who am I to decide? If he says hes staying, then hes staying.

A federal court recently ruled in favor of a redistricting plan that would favor Democrats in Virginia. The house is 2 votes away from being under Democratic control. The cenus will occur with a Democrat in the Governor's office for the first time in 30 years. I cannot defend Northams actions and the Fairfax incident is clearly a case of he said she said. What the Republican operatives are counting on is the pack mentality of people like Gillibrand. Harris and AOC to quickly condemn Fairfax and either damage his reputation or get him to resign. I do not believe in conspiracy theories so this is a planned and calculated attack by the far right. As a lifelong Virginian this is very frightening.

... just remember, Roger Stone is still on the streets.

resign.

"Democrats need to stop this shit ASAP."

We need to hab together or surely we will hang separately!

Don’t let them divide us!

if he stays they risk repugs gainIng a ton of legislature seats and if he goes then fairfax risks whatever... probably be safer to let fairfax take over since those claims appear thoroughly unsubstantiated.

As I wrote on Saturday evening...I don't know what to believe because ReTHUGs are capable
of dirty tricks and I can't believe he is stupid enough to deny that it is him if it is him.
