It's ironic that what began as a blackface scandal will end in the resignation of the state's black Lieutenant Governor, while the white Governor and Attorney General get off. The optics of this definitely are not good for the Democrats.

Eh, wont matter at all. Sexual Assault is a rather serious crime, and everyone will have forgotten about this most likely in a months time.

I don't think removing someone with multiple credible accusations of sexual assault and rape from office would count as bad optics.

I think you’re right.

If Fairfax resigns, will Trump, Kavanaugh and Steve Watkins resign?

It's not a good look to impeach the black guy while the two white guys who did racial acts stay in office, especially if he hasn't been charged with a crime at this point. I know this is a pressure tactic but it may not go down well with the black community.

Am I crazy if I think there’s a Rodger Stone connection to this avalanche of scandal?

Fairfax needs to go NOW and anyone who defends him is a soulless creep.

One party of unreconstructed rape apologists is more than enough.

Although he’s not in the line of succession, this is something that’s still worth discussing:

Republican Virginia State Senate Majority Leader managed yearbook that contained blackface photos, n word, antisemetic slurs

Yes and in not so good ways. He just caved on a bunch of policy items probably in part because VA Dems have abandoned him. They need to come back to the fold or he's just going to be dealing with Rs.

I won't judge the credibility of the second claim prematurely, but it should be unsurprising. I don't understand how people on here are such poor judges of character. The man is barely able to hide it. It's so easy to imagine what he is quoted as saying.

To those comparing wearing blackface to rape, I remind you that the former isn't a crime while the latter most certainly is.

Fairfax needs to go! And then, after he is replaced, Northam needs to go.
