Whoa whoa WHOA. This is getting nasty.
We previously told you about how Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax is threatening to sue the conservative website Big League Politics (the same website that published the photo from Northam’s med school yearbook) over a sexual assault allegation.

It gets juicier.
NEW: An extraordinary day turns chaotic as Fairfax suggests Northam is behind "a smear" aimed at blocking his ascent to the governorship and recounts a sexual encounter with a woman he said was "very interested in me."
But she says it was assault >https://t.co/X9qPp1fmbV

So there WAS some sort of encounter, huh?
Oh wait. JUICIER.
It sounds like he believes that Northam and his team are behind this “attack.” Yes, really.

REPORTER: "Collective PAC — they said that you believe that the governor's team is spreading misinformation about your team. Can you comment on that, please….do you believe it?"

I have no idea what took place or who REALLy got the ball rolling on this story, but would I put it past Northam? Nope. Think about it– it takes pressure off of his “blackface” problems. People are busy talking about Fairfax instead of him.
Hmmm hm.
