Why would a same-party operative seem less credible than someone trying to steal a seat for political gain whose claims were refuted by all cited friends and not believed by her own father?

We already know the media sat on the Northam yearbook story because they were too lazy to corroborate by making a 2 hour drive? (i.e., didn't want to implicate him and risk Ed Gillespie)

But do tell exactly what sounds incredible about these claims to you. As far as I know, there is little substance to even begin to make a judgement.

Who is 3rd in line for VA gov?

[brucejoel99]

Who is 3rd in line for VA gov?

Mark Herring, the AG

Who is 3rd in line for VA gov?

Attorney General Mark Herring, a Democrat, but it shouldn't matter.

[kelestian]

As if Democrats haven't done the same...

They have not.

Need I remind you of the Kavanaugh hearings?

The difference is that Dr. Ford's attempted rape allegations were extremely credible and more likely than not true, as were a second woman's (Deborah Ramirez was her name IIRC) sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.  There's a big difference between saying a would-be rapist facing extremely credible allegations of both attempted rape and sexual assault does not belong on the Supreme Court and making up false allegations to try to smear a political opponent.

Just curious, what makes allegations credible?

I don't understand how one is more credible than the other, other than Kav's rather boorish demeanor perhaps playing into negative stereotypes. Most women I know actually felt bad for Kav, because in his place, they saw their own brother or son.

Who is 3rd in line for VA gov?

Mark Herring, the AG

Fourth is Kirk Cox, the Republican HOD Speaker.

By the end of the week, Virginia's Gov and LT Gov will be the two most well known statewide officeholders in the nation.

Edit: I believe every women should have their voices heard.

Sure, that's absolutely true of you. More hypocrisy and this time over an unsubstantiated claim.

At the risk of sounding like an MRA, "Believe all women" sounds very good as a slogan, but isn't feasible in real life because of cases like this. That being said, if further evidence comes to light, Fairfax should step down, and if necessary, be prosecuted.

Well founded allegations versus non credible allegations art related to Party politics. You really are a hack.

Oh my God. Watching fuzzy and katharina twist themselves into knots having to create hypotheticals because Democrats are actually walking the walk when one of their own commits misconduct they criticized Republicans for... Beautiful

Yeah, this case looks more like Cisneros than Kavanaugh.

[Wisconsin SC Race 2019]

Lock him up. He's the new Kavanaugh.

I don't think any serious person says "believe all women", they say "women deserve to be heard". Big difference.

[henster]

Very similar to the Keith Ellison accusation, it was passed around the media and they couldn't verify it.

[DINGO Joe]

Lock him up. He's the new Kavanaugh. 

You mean put him on the Supreme Court?
