WaPo Denies Finding ‘Inconsistencies’ Or ‘Red Flags’ In Sexual Assault Allegations Against Virginia Lieutenant Governor

This is getting weird.

Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax is scrambling after a story came out, accusing him of sexually assaulting a woman a while back. He initially released this statement:

As you can see, he heavily relies on the Washington Post and its decision to ignore the story.

Just one problem. WaPo is denying that it found red flags or inconsistencies in the story.

The woman approached The Post after Fairfax won election in November 2017 and before he was inaugurated in January 2018 inauguration, saying she felt like she had an obligation to speak out…

Fairfax and the woman told different versions of what happened in the hotel room with no one else present [in 2004]. The Washington Post could not find anyone who could corroborate either version. The Post did not find “significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegations,” as the Fairfax statement incorrectly said…

The woman described a sexual encounter that began with consensual kissing and ended with a forced act that left her crying and shaken. She said Fairfax guided her to the bed, where they continued kissing, and then at one point she realized she could not move her neck. She said Fairfax used his strength to force her to perform oral sex.

It sounds like “he said she said,” but if we’re going by MSM’s previous standards, they should’ve gone with it. After all, women are to be believed no matter what, right?

This doesn’t let WaPo off the hook. If anything, it proves that they’re all major chumps who protect Democrats at all costs. They had no problem posting uncorroborated stories about Brett Kavanaugh, after all.
