John,
Since February, our nation has witnessed a double standard play out for all to see. When it comes to credible allegations of rape and sexual assault, there’s one standard for Republicans, like Brett Kavanaugh, and one standard for Democrats, like Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax. It’s time for that double standard to end. Justin Fairfax’s accusers have not received the same level of attention or investigation that Christine Blasey Ford and others did.
The women Justin Fairfax may have sexually assaulted want to testify before Virginia’s General Assembly, but Democrats won’t let it happen. Click here to tell Virginia Democrats to stop silencing women with their partisan politics.
As the Washington Post noted in a recent editorial endorsing this idea,
“a hearing remains the sole option that may be exercised at the General Assembly’s discretion, and the only way to elicit sworn testimony by Mr. Fairfax and his accusers, among others, in a public forum not susceptible to stage managing by any of them.”
Democrats in Richmond don’t want the investigation to proceed because of what may be discovered. Even some Democrats who have called on Fairfax to resign are resisting hearings.
The hypocrisy at play is astonishing. Two women have credibly accused Justin Fairfax of rape and sexual assault. They deserve to be heard, not silenced for politics.
