DC: Republican Virginia House of Delegates Speaker Kirk Cox, who could potentially become the Commonwealth’s next governor after recent turmoil, released his first statement since the most recent developments on Wednesday evening.
Cox’s statement comes as Gov. Ralph Northam, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and Attorney General Mark Herring are each embroiled in separate scandals. If all three Democrats were to resign, Cox would take over as governor.
“The last seven days have been tumultuous for our Commonwealth. The revelations against and admissions by the leaders of the executive branch are disturbing,” Cox began. “The allegations of sexual assault against Lt. Governor Fairfax are extremely serious. The Lt. Governor, the alleged victim, and Virginians all deserve a full airing of the facts.”
“Our diverse Commonwealth has been deeply shaken by these developments, but nonetheless remains economically vibrant, fiscally sound, safe and secure,” the statement continued. “We have weathered the storms of four centuries and will weather this one as well. We continue to pray for Virginia during this difficult time.” MORE

It’s getting better all the time
Teary eyed democrats with trembling voices laying bare their darkest secrets: “I used the N word in the fifth grade, my life is over”. Ha
With apologizes to all the good Conservative folks in the state, looks like they’ll be changing their slogan to “Virginia is for RACISTS”.
No no no, Democrats and nevertrumpers! The soft coup is supposed to happen on the other side of the Potomac. SMDH
Hmmm … just a guess … not a single Virginian has missed a meal over this.
Laughing up their sleeves, most likely.
Not much more pleasant (politically speaking) than to witness a bunch of arrogant assholes brought to heel. Hoist on their own petard, so to speak.
izlamo delenda est …
Cox appears to be one of the good ones…..

Send for James Drury, let the Real Virginian take over and set things right.
Somehow ‘Governor Cox’ doesn’t sound like an improvement for Virginia.
Is there no transexual lesbian, that will make an anonymous accusation of wearing white shoes after Labor Day? And rid us of this meddlesome not baby killer enough!

Oh I’m sure Virginia will continue to get the shaft no matter which dick is in office.
I’ve jumped to the last page of this story.
They all get away with it.
Caller into Rush hypothesized that the dem party will offer AG Herring a sweetheart position elsewhere so that Northam can appoint another Democrat as AG, which gives him the ability to leave office without the possibility of Cox becoming governor.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see such scheme perpetrated on Virginia by the corrupt democrat party.
Interesting flow chart for Virginia. I could be governor by the time they weed out the pedophiles, rapists, and racists. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/heres-a-flowchart-of-virginias-line-of-succession-for-governor-lieutenant-governor-and-attorney-general
