Pelosi: Va. scandals are how we roll

House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi (D-CA) poo-pooed the notion that all the Democrat scandals coming out of Virginia is any kind of big deal on the party's national brand.

Fox News' Chad Pergram asked the dentured Democrat, "With everything that's been going on with Virginia, the governor, the attorney general here ... does that filter down and damage the national Democratic brand in any way?"

"No, it does not," Pelosi responded. "They will resolve — the Virginians will resolve their issues, ooh my dentures, there we go, that they have there. It's sad because they have some very talented blackface leaders and a possible sexual assaulter there, but they have to have the confidence of the electorate and they have to have the confidence of the legislature that they have to work with and so on and so forth and such like that. But I'll leave that up to them. I have enough to do here without getting involved in the affairs, no pun intended insofar as Mr. Fairfax is concerned, of Virginia."

All three statewide elected Democratic officials in Virginia are up to their eyeballs in scandals, centered on either wearing blackface or two, so far, sexual assault accusations against Justin Fairfax, the Lieutenant Governor.

Gov. Ralph Northam (D.) started the wave of lesser scandals when a photo surfaced last Friday showing a man in a Ku Klux Klan hood next to a man wearing blackface. The photo was included on a page dedicated to Northam in his Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook. Northam apologized for the photo at first, but then during a press conference, denied he was one of the individuals in the photo. 

The bigger scandal was Northam's approval of infanticide. In fact, it's quite possible that the blackface scandal was a way of deflecting from the acceptance of murder, but this got lost in the message the GOP needs to focus on. Northam matter-of-factly described on radio how after a baby was delivered, it would be made comfortable while the mother and abortion doctor discuss whether to kill it or not.

Justin Fairfax (D) faces a sexual assault allegation by Vanessa Tyson, an associate professor of politics at Scripps College in Claremont, California, came forward publicly as the woman accusing Fairfax of sexually assaulting her in 2004 at the Democratic National Convention. Fairfax has denied the allegation, saying he and the woman were intimate in a consensual way during the convention. 

Fairfax released a new statement on Wednesday whereby he continued to deny the allegation but also stated that women don't make such allegations "lightly." The statement came before NBC reported Fairfax said "f**k that b**ch" when talking about Tyson in a private meeting. Fairfax's chief of staff has denied his boss used that language in reference to Tyson but he's a liar too.

A second allegation came to light afterward. Meredith Watson and Fairfax both attended Duke in 2000 and the two were friends but not romantically or sexually involved. She alleges that he assaulted her and that it was "premeditated and aggressive." She kept emails to her friends at the time about the incident. Fairfax may be toast.

It is not known whether Fairfax also wanted someone to "f**k that b**ch," but if so, it will be denied.

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring admitted Wednesday he too wore blackface for a college party back in 1980. He apologized for his actions and called it the "greatest shame" he has ever felt.

When Northam's scandal broke days before, Herring called on the governor to resign. Herring said he would have conversations with leaders around the state to determine if it makes sense for him to continue serving as attorney general.

All three officials have yet to give any sign they will resign their post.

And then there were four as we discovered when Va. Rep. Bobby Scott, we learned, knew about the sexual assault allegations brought by his friend, Vanessa Tyson, because she told him in 2017 what Fairfax allegedly did to her, and he did nothing about it.

But the next person in line to take over the Virginia governorship is a Republican and the press, which is a wing of the Democratic Party, will do all it can to protect the party.

So Pelosi isn't worried. Northam will probably stay and maybe Fairfax will go because of the #MeToo movement. It's politics, folks. It's all about votes and power. Scott, I suspect, will be forgotten along with Herring.

But one thing for certain, the Democrats will not bow to morals or ethics because it would mean having to give up the governor's seat.

BREAKING: Yes Virginia, there is a GOP Santa Claus

A fourth Democrat is now caught up in yet another scandal in Virginia. Soon the state will need to find someone who has never left their house except to flip burgers or some such thing, because it's beginning to look a lot like every Democratic political operative in the state is a scumcrumpet.

ABC News now reports that Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA) was aware of the allegations directly from Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax's accuser, Dr. Vanessa Tyson, "who on Wednesday released a statement detailing the alleged 2004 assault, which took place at the Democratic National Convention in Boston."

"Allegations of sexual assault need to be taken seriously," Scott said in a statement to ABC News. "I have known Professor Tyson for approximately a decade and she is a friend. She deserves the opportunity to have her story heard."

Aides to Scott told ABC News that Tyson revealed the incident to Scott on October 20, 2017, and that she was "not a fan" of Fairfax, who at the time was a candidate for Virginia Lieutenant Governor.

In November 2017, Tyson continued to speak to Scott of her dislike for Fairfax  and told Scott that she wanted to "talk about it" with him.

The following month, Tyson allegedly told Scott that Fairfax had a "MeToo allegation," and over the next month, Scott's aides learned that Tyson was the alleged victim.

On Wednesday, Tyson released the following statement regarding Fairfax:

On the night of Friday, February 1, 2019, I read multiple news accounts indicating that Virginia Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax would likely be elevated to Governor as an immediate result of a scandal involving Governor Ralph Northam. This news flooded me with painful memories, bringing back feelings of grief, shame, and anger that stemmed from an incident with Mr. Fairfax that occurred in July 2004 during the Democratic National Convention in Boston. 

I met Mr. Fairfax on July 26, 2004, when he and I were working at the Convention. We struck up a conversation on the first day of the Convention and soon realized we had a mutual friend. We crossed paths occasionally during the first two days and our interactions were cordial, but not flirtatious. We commiserated about our long work hours, and on the afternoon of the third day of the Convention, July 28, 2004, Mr. Fairfax suggested that I get some fresh air by accompanying him on a quick errand to retrieve documents from his room in a nearby hotel. Given our interactions up to that time, I had no reason to feel threatened and agreed to walk with him to his hotel. I stood in the entryway of the room and after he located the documents, he walked over and kissed me. Although surprised by his advance, it was not unwelcome and I kissed him back. He then took my hand and pulled me towards the bed. I was fully clothed in a pantsuit and had no intention of taking my clothes off or engaging in sexual activity. In the back of my mind, I also knew I needed to return to Convention headquarters. 

What began as consensual kissing quickly turned into a sexual assault. Mr. Fairfax put his hand behind my neck and forcefully pushed my head towards his crotch. Only then did I realize that he had unbuckled his belt, unzipped his pants, and taken out his penis. He then forced his penis into my mouth. Utterly shocked and terrified, I tried to move my head away, but could not because his hand was holding down my neck and he was much stronger than me. As I cried and gagged, Mr. Fairfax forced me to perform oral sex on him. I cannot believe, given my obvious distress, that Mr. Fairfax thought this forced sexual act was consensual. To be very clear, I did not want to engage in oral sex with Mr. Fairfax and I never gave any form of consent. Quite the opposite. I consciously avoided Mr. Fairfax for the remainder of the Convention and I never spoke to him again.

ABC News further noted that Dr. Tyson "hired the legal services of Katz, Marshall and Banks, the same law firm that was retained by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the hardly credible California psychology professor who accused Brett Kavanaugh, then-President Trump's nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, of sexual misconduct."

Anyone want to be governor?
