In reply to the discussion: Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax threatens legal action against conservative website over 'defamatory ... [View all]Freethinker65
(9,933 posts)36. Ok. Now I think Northam may be correct in not resigning?
Perhaps he was tipped off the GOP was going after Fairfax next?
Up to now I was in the resign now crowd. Now, perhaps Northam commits to finishing one, and only one term, committed to serving ALL Virginians, while giving Fairfax an increased role. The main focus will then remain on Northam, and Fairfax will have some time to fight any unjust allegations.
If the allegations are true, it is anyone's guess what will happen.
