Unless one of the two sides presents some kind of evidence I don't see how anyone can claim to know what the truth is.
Everything Fairfax has done suggests he did what he’s been accused of. Fairfax needs to go even if it means Republicans pick up all three statewide offices.
Behavior isn't concrete proof. Can you at least wait for other women to come out and make similar allegations before you convict the guy.
This isn’t a criminal proceeding. I find Dr. Tyson’s allegations more credible than Fairfax’s denial and as such see no reason why he shouldn’t resign immediately. And we both know you’d be humming a different tune if these were allegations against Mike Pence by a conservative activist from the 2012 RNC and Donald Trump has just been impeached. Fairfax shouldn’t be treated with kid gloves just b/c he’s a Democrat.
I'm just wary in this case because the media couldn't corroborate her story OR find any pattern of similar behavior from Fairfax.
If every politician is forced to resign when a single woman accuses him without proof then we open the door to blackmail and other unpleasant stuff. Remember that many people here had the same attitude with Cisneros and the guy was eventually innocent. This isn't like Kihuen or Conyers where the evidence was overwhelming.
Just my two cents.
Don’t think it’s fair to judge Fairfax’s behavior because Tyson has only given a written statement so far. Never seen her on video to make any clear judgement on her, she may present herself as erratic as Fairfax has been. And the fact that she’s refusing to do any interviews doesn’t really help her case and it’s unfair to Fairfax. From the cryptic private FB post shared around and posted to RW media and now just a written statement, don’t like how she’s chosen to go about this.
What specifically would it take for you to believe her over Fairfax?
Maybe he's waiting on actual evidence?
Yeah it's much too early to decide. The behavior thing is a fair assessment at all, you'd probably be nervous too if you were accused of this, true or not. It's like the lie detector, it's a load of garbage because real criminals are usually the calmest. It's perfectly normal for an innocent person to not be all calm and cool.
