Democrats had wanted to make former Virginia Lt. Gov Justin Fairfax into the first black governor of Virginia, but then sexual assault accusations, an attempted impeachment and a KKK photo got in the way.
It wasn’t all that long ago that Barack Obama was campaigning with Fairfax and the young politician was being hyped as the ‘next Obama”.
Now Fairfax and his wife are dead, and the former chair of Sen. Mark Warner’s campaign appears to have pulled the trigger.
Embattled former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax killed his wife and then shot himself inside their home early Thursday in the throes of a “messy divorce,” cops said.
The 47-year-old Democrat repeatedly shot his dentist wife, Cerina Fairfax, in the basement of their Annandale home just after midnight before turning the gun on himself, according to police.
The couple’s two teenage children were inside the home at the time of the murder-suicide. Their son was the one who called 911 to report the shootings, cops said.
It wasn’t exactly a happy home.
The tragic saga unfolded just months after police responded to the family’s home back in January after Fairfax falsely accused his wife of assaulting him.
Investigators later determined he’d lied after reviewing footage from multiple cameras that the wife had set up inside the home.
Fairfax’s career melted down after two women accused him of sexual assault. The case had some similarities to the recent Swalwell scandal in that it was curiously timed for after the release of former Gov. Ralph Northam’s KKK photo. There had been a push to oust Northam and replace him with Fairfax and it seemed likely that someone in the Northam camp dug up opposition research on Fairfax and leaked it, ultimately ending both their careers in disgrace.
A cautionary tale for the current rulers of Virginia about how quickly pride can take a fall.
If Obama had a brother….🙄
Obama has commented on this tragedy: “Obviously, the husband acted stupidly.”
He and his wife should’ve found a good Afro-Liberation church to attend and tried a comeback.
….half-brother.
What will we dig on on NYC mayor Moron MonDummy that he will oft hisself?
This sounds like something crazy Michelle might do to LGBTQ+ Barack.
Mental illness is a terrible affliction. He had 2 children and you have to be out of your mind to make them live the rest of their lives with the memory of this horror. Terrible, sad.
How traumatic for the teen-aged children. Politics in this country brings out the worst in so many.
Politics in general. It’s not unique to this country.
Putting all the wealth and power under control of the govt ensures vicious squabbles over the loot pile.
OK, it’s not ALL, but so many sources of income have been outsourced and immigranted away, It becomes a matter of being in on the grift, or poor
Another one bites the dust, and ruins his children in the process. What a despicable monster.
Most all these divorces trace back to leftist attempts to break up the nuclear family back in the 1960s.
And can we discuss sexual assault, assuming it really occurred as accysed. What gives with these politicians and crazy sexual assault. You’d think they were Islamic or something. Oh, wait…..
Life should not be as Zeb Jones explained to John Lyle. But it is.
Ralph Northam is working as a doctor.
Fairfax went back into private practice as a lawyer. His house looked small., a row house. So I wonder about that.
One was a youth ful indiscretion? The other?
The want to hire social workers. Maybe they ought to pay them to do post mortems aand not leave it solely to the police, coroners and DA;s

Was reading a couple days ago that in the West Indies back in the 1700s the ethnic group that caused the British the most trouble were the Mulattoes. The British army had good relations with the blacks but the Mulattoes were often causing rebellions.
