What a difference a week makes.

Last Friday, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam was on the verge of being forced from office over a 35-year-old photo that surfaced of him in either blackface or a KKK robe and Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax looked to be in the catbird’s seat to succeed Northam. On Sunday, Dr. Vanessa Tyson let it be known that Fairfax had engaged in forcible sodomy with her at the DNC convention in 2004 (there was a lot of that going around there). For a brief moment, all senior Democrats on the Hill averted their eyes. Then things got serious. Both Tyson and Fairfax lawyered up, using the law firms that represented, respectively, Christine Ford and Brett Kavanaugh. NOW demanded Fairfax resign. But there was gloom on the horizon as rumors swirled that there were other women. Pay attention to this, this guy is a longtime Democrat operative in Virginia:

You are going to look like an ass on this one.https://t.co/sRfieP2xSI

A short while ago, another woman claimed that she had been forcibly raped by Fairfax while they were students at Duke University. Shortly thereafter, former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe and a slew of high profile Virginia Democrats said Fairfax had to go.

Since the Spartacus has changed his tune. Earlier in the week this is what he said.

Senator Booker on the allegation against Lt. Gov Fairfax:
“I think we should be focusing on what’s right now happening with the Governor. I know you guys are going to try to focus on a lot of things right now, but right now my focus is on again calling for the Gov. to step down.

Now he is calling for Fairfax to resign.

The multiple detailed allegations against the Lt. Gov. of Virginia are deeply troubling. They are serious, credible, and corroborated by others. It is no longer appropriate for him to serve. He should resign.

Talcum X is demanding a resignation.

Virginia's Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax must resign immediately.

Two different women have not only accused him of sexual assault, an overwhelming amount of evidence exists that they reported the assaults to friends & family years ago.

He should also be criminally investigated.

And this ominous tweet from the guy who hinted at a second woman:

And reporters are now telling me they have heard about women #3, #4 and #5. Victims should never be outed before they are ready to come forward- but we are way overdue for a resignation.
