Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax on Monday said he had a consensual one-night stand with a woman in 2004 who now accuses him of sexual assault, saying that he is the victim of a political “smear.”
“Everything was 100 percent consensual. Not only that, the same person called me sometime later and wanted to meet with me, wanted to come visit me … wanted me to meet her mother,” Mr. Fairfax told reporters in Richmond.
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.

And we have a president who's a rapist and a racist!
Maybe after he's impeached he'll run for the governor of Virginia, he'll fit right in.

I personally think they ought to forget what happened 35 years ago
We all did stupid stuff when we were young. Just keep an eye on him.
Also, people SHOULD NOT be automatically thrown out of office for an accusation.
My opinion here is consistent. I’m NOT into automatic thinking

Virginia's line of succession goes Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Senate President Pro Tempore, Speaker of the House. So if they both stepped down at the same time Steve Newman, who is a Republican, would become governor.
That said, even if Fairfax was impeached, Northam technically hasn't done anything that could force him out of office. So he could stick around long enough to appoint a new Lieutenant Governor before resigning.

You're going to act like the Trump supporters haven't been having a circle jerk for the past two years over how all the Dems are going to be arrested because of an anonymous person on the internet?

Thanks.
