Gov. Justin Fairfax (D-VA) on Tuesday took aim at fellow Democrats who he said gave him \u201cno due process\u201d when he was accused of sexual assault by two women. Fairfax then compared his treatment to that of Emmett Till and George Floyd, who both died before any arrests were made.<\/p>\n<p>NBC News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/elections\/va-lt-gov-fairfax-says-he-was-treated-george-floyd-n1263289\">reported<\/a> that Fairfax, appearing at the state\u2019s Democratic gubernatorial debate Tuesday night, responded to a question about police reform and the rush to judgment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe murder of George Floyd was horrific,\u201d Fairfax said, according to NBC. \u201cBut it recalls a history in Virginia and in our nation where African Americans, in particular African American men, are presumed to be guilty, are treated inhumanely, are given no due process and have their lives impacted, in some cases taken away in an instant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fairfax added that he was \u201cfalsely accused\u201d of sexual assault.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone here on the stage called for my immediate resignation, including Terry McAuliffe three minutes after a press release came out,\u201d Fairfax said. \u201cHe treated me like George Floyd; he treated me like Emmett Till \u2014 no due process, immediately assumed my guilt. I have a son and a daughter. I don\u2019t ever want my daughter to be assaulted, I don\u2019t want my son to be falsely accused. And yet this is the real world that we live in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/virginia-lt-gov-justin-fairfax-considering-run-ashe-schow\">reported<\/a>, Fairfax was accused of sexual assault by two women in early 2019, after it looked like he might ascend to Virginia governor following the revelation that Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) dressed in blackface while in medical school. From The Daily Wire:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14\">\n<p><em>Neither of the allegations against Fairfax have any evidence to support them outside of the allegations, yet national and local Democrats called for Fairfax to resign.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Those calls quickly disappeared after the&nbsp;next&nbsp;in line for governor, Attorney General Mark Herring, also admitted to wearing blackface in college, which would mean the&nbsp;next&nbsp;in line for governor would be a Republican.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The first accuser, Vanessa Tyson, claimed he sexually assaulted her at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. The Washington Post was made aware of these allegations, but decided not to report them, a consideration that would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/43055\/washington-posts-bias-running-flimsy-accusations-ashe-schow\">never be offered<\/a> for a Republican.<\/p>\n<p>A second accuser, Meredith Watson, claimed Fairfax raped her while they were both students at Duke University. Both women have demanded a hearing before Virginia\u2019s General Assembly. Fairfax and Virginia Democrats have refused, insisting (correctly) that law enforcement should investigate instead. No police reports have been filed regarding the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Fairfax is correct to suggest that he was provided \u201cno due process\u201d when he was accused, as has been the norm in the #MeToo era. Still, his comparisons to men who died is a bit over the top. Emmett Till was murdered after he was falsely accused of raping a white in 1955. George Floyd died in 2020 while being arrested after a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, kept his knee on Floyd\u2019s neck for nearly nine minutes. Chauvin is currently facing trial.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
