The Washington Post is defending its decision to pass on a sexual assault allegation against Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax after having "carefully investigated the claim for several months," while failing to mention why they didn't apply the same standards to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The Washington Post is defending its decision to pass on a sexual assault allegation against Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax after having "carefully investigated the claim for several months," while failing to mention why they didn't apply the same standards to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The woman described a sexual encounter that began with consensual kissing and ended with a forced act that left her crying and shaken. She said Fairfax guided her to the bed, where they continued kissing, and then at one point she realized she could not move her neck. She said Fairfax used his strength to force her to perform oral sex. -WaPo
Explaining their side of things, the Post writes: "The woman approached The Post after Fairfax won election in November 2017 and before he was inaugurated in January 2018, saying she felt like she had an obligation to speak out," writes WaPo, adding "Fairfax and the woman told different versions of what happened in the hotel room with no one else present. The Washington Postcould not find anyone who could corroborate either version. The Post did not find “significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegations,” as the Fairfax statement incorrectly said."
In other words, the WaPo afforded Fairfax, a Democrat, the benefit of the doubt - something they did not do with Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh when his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford levied a similarly uncorroborated accusation from over 30 years ago.

Of course they did. Just like pictures of Obama with FARRAKHAN hugging each other. It didn't fit their narrative. IMAGINE THAT!!
ReplyDeleteHe's democrat: the defense rests, your Honor.
ReplyDeleteWhy would a sexual assault matter to any democrat? The democrats are perfectly fine with murdering an infant in cold blood so a little sexual assault is just a minor little thing to them.
ReplyDeleteAnd what about late night host Jimmy Kimmel who dressed up as Moses Malone in blackface, arms, legs and mocked the way he speaks? All seems quiet on the MSM front when one of their own in involved.
