Who Is Justin Fairfax? The Man Who Could Be Virginia’s Next Governor Is A 39-Year-Old Progressive
Inquisitr ^ | 2/01/19 | Nathan Francis

Justin Fairfax could soon be a household name, with the scandal enveloping Virginia Governor Ralph Northam potentially having Fairfax in line to become the nation’s youngest governor — and one of its most progressive.

**SNIP**

Virginia’s charter says that Fairfax would take over as governor and would appoint a new lieutenant governor, who would be up for a special election for the final two years of the term.

Justin Fairfax is only the second African-American to be elected to a statewide office in Virginia, following only former Governor Douglas Wilder. He was elected lieutenant governor in 2017 after defeating Republican Jill Vogel.

As the Washington Post noted in a 2017 profile, Fairfax was known for his progressive streak in a “purple” state that has gone both for Democrats and Republicans in presidential elections the last decade. The report noted that Fairfax drew the ire of Republicans after responding to a questionnaire from a local chapter of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’s political group where he showed support for “Medicare-for-all” and a guaranteed minimum income.

And, just like Hussein, Fairfax is a big fan of post-birth killings.

Virginia is circling the drain. Just another reason to hate Washington DC.

So I guess we all know now why the Virginia governor was given an untenable bill to defend and then was outed as a racist.

The Dems are going to be taken over by a zealous and committed minority that is engaging in political hardball strategy that we have not seen since the globalists took over the GOP.

Like all good democrats he’s a hater of all things Confederate. He’s of course a big queer “marriage” supporter and abortion for any reason, through all nine months supporter. He’s indistinguisable with the black racist Andrew Gillum who ran against Ron DeSantis for Florida Governor.

Virginia is solidly a blue state for years to come.

Considering Tim Kaine’s ties to Spygate and Fairfax, I’m wondering if Spygate has anything to do with the timing of this story....

Democrats do not generally turn on their own, especially if that person is farther left than the craziest among them. I am beginning to revise my belief that, yes, they do want this guy to resign—but only because they want Justin Fairfax in the office more. Why? Because he is from the black, oppressed people and not an old white guy.

One day old white guys are going to be in danger even in the party of whack jobs. Democrats long to be black and poof. It would see that old white women are safe for the time being.

I wonder what the state of things were like in China just before the uprising of the young people.

The replacement is even more left leaning so be careful what you wish for

There’s a lesson here, folks.

You don’t vote for the man, you are voting for the Party.

Would Fairfax had won, if he was running for Governor?

Well, doesn’t matter now.

Roy Moore should have taught us that lesson.

“There’s a lesson here, folks.

Denver radio personality Mike Rosen has a rule of politics: “Party Trumps Person”.

No matter how reasonable and logical the candidate appears he will always default to the party platform - even if it is diametrically opposed to his own beliefs.

Think of Joe Manchin, he’s fairly conservative in his own way but almost always goes along to get along.
