Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax acknowledged Monday he had a sexual encounter with a woman accusing him of sexual assault in 2004, when he was working as an aide for then-Sen. John Edwards.
“We hit it off, she was very interested in me, and so eventually, at one point, we ended up going to my hotel room,” Fairfax, a Democrat, told reporters Monday.
His admission is a major complication for Democrats calling for Gov. Ralph Northam to step down after it emerged there was a picture of men in blackface and Klan robes on his 1984 medical school yearbook page. Fairfax, the descendant of a freed slave named Simon Fairfax, is due to succeed Northam if he resigns. The state Attorney General Mark Herring is next in line after Fairfax.

How is consensual sex with a woman a bad thing?
Should he join Antifa to cool everybody down?
He is black and Democrats will protect him come hell or high water. He should be given the same treatment as a white man. Want to see how discriminatory the Democrats will admit to.
Does Virginia have any honest politicians?
I'm a believer
