Northam, Fairfax Vow Not to Resign

Embattled Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (D), who is dealing with a blackface controversy, and Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax (D), who has been accused of sexual assault by two women, are vowing not to resign.

Northam reportedly told his Cabinet on Friday that he has no plans to resign and on Saturday told the Washington Post that he is planning a “reconciliation tour” that he will use to, according to the outlet, “engage in conversations about race and healing.”

“It’s obvious from what happened this week that we still have a lot of work to do. There are still some very deep wounds in Virginia, and especially in the area of equity,” Northam reportedly said. “There are ongoing inequities to access to things like education, health care, mortgages, capital, entre­pre­neur­ship. And so this has been a real, I think, an awakening for Virginia. It has really raised the level of awareness for racial issues in Virginia. And so we’re ready to learn from our mistakes.”

Governor Northam should resign as a documented racist or accept the double-standard and hypocrisy of the Liberal Left!

Lt Governor Fairfax should resign as the evidence is more compelling than that which was presented against Justice Kavanaugh...or again accept the double standard and hypocrist of the Liberal Left, so the Commonwealth of Virginia can recover from this crisis and resume some semblance of normal governance while his court case goes through the required motions!

Seems that is how Democrats operate.
