Well, he’s swinging for the fences on this one. Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax decided to go nuclear with the identity politics when he compared himself to Emmett Till and George Floyd. Till was brutally murdered for allegedly whistling at a white woman. Floyd was killed in an officer-involved incident in Minneapolis last summer which set off months of unrest across the country. The officer involved in the incident, Derek Chauvin, is currently on trial for Floyd’s death. Fairfax made this declaration during the Democratic gubernatorial primary debate on Tuesday. He noted that both men were not afforded due process like himself. The lieutenant governor was accused of rape by two women around the time when Attorney General Mark Herring and Gov. Ralph Northam admitted to engaging in black face during their college years in 2019. This set off a political crisis in the state as all three heads had done something worthy of resignation. Given the woke atmosphere gripping the media and their Democratic overlords, all three men should have resigned if they went by their rules. They didn’t, of course. Fairfax said that the rush to judgment over his rape allegations was racist in nature as well. Read more
He should be more like George.
More like Smollet and Gillum than Till and Floyd.
He be confused? He be woked? He be stoopid? Hebe jeebies?
clairvoyant maybe?
Who writes this stuff? George Floyd may have died, but it appears (increasingly) unlikely he was killed.
Hey what other defense does he have then “I am a stupid African and everybody hates me because of that”!
I’m embarrassed.
Didn’t know Till and Floyd were accused of rape by multiple women.
Were Emmett Till and George Floyd both rapist too?

Just a note for accuracy, Floyd wasn’t killed – he overdosed on Fentanyl and other drugs he ingested on his own, seriously.
IF he was killed, he killed himself.
