Democratic senators who condemned Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct allegations refused to acknowledge the sexual assault allegations that have emerged against Virginia Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax when asked by The Daily Caller News Foundation Thursday.
When asked if the same standard should be applied to Fairfax, a Democrat, as it was applied to Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings, the five Democratic senators asked, who all opposed Kavanaugh’s confirmation due to the allegations, all dodged the question or acted like they had not heard about it, despite the fact it has been major national news for nearly a week.
Democratic Virginia Mark Sen. Warner would not answer questions about the accusations when asked by reporters on Thursday, saying they were in a hurry to vote on the Senate floor.
Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine told reporters on Capitol Hill Thursday that they “don’t have an investigation” into the accusations made by Fairfax’s accuser, Dr. Vanessa Tyson.

The New York Times seems to capture the moment here with its article “Justin Fairfax Puts Virginia Democrats in Bind on Impeachment” by Jonathan Martin, Alan Blinder and Campbell Robertson on 9 February 2019, as follows:
RICHMOND, Va. — Justin E. Fairfax’s refusal to resign as lieutenant governor of Virginia in the face of two allegations of sexual assault has presented Democrats with an excruciating choice: whether to impeach an African-American leader at a moment when the state’s other two top leaders, both white, are resisting calls to quit after admitting to racist conduct.

It’s about optics.
The Democrats are hoist on their own petard of being perfect in every way it is possible to be perfect, which we are now seeing is pure bull****, at least here in Virginia, and they don’t know what to do or how to act.
HUSH!
SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Don’t say anything, and soon enough Trump will say something we can attack, and that will take people’s minds off of Northam, Fairfax and Herring, and the even money is on that being quite on point.
