Did all future white politicians in Virginia wear blackface in the 80's?
Quote:
- Virginia's already chaotic executive branch became even more tumultuous Wednesday as the state's attorney general, Mark Herring, admitted he wore blackface at a college party in 1980.
- Herring, a Democrat, is third in line to the governor's office.
- Gov. Ralph Northam faces widespread calls for his resignation after a conservative news site last week published a photo from his 1984 medical school yearbook page showing two men, one in blackface, the other wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood.

Now, the reason why we're talking about the man third in line to the governor's office, is because the lieutenant governor is imploding as well:

Now, Democrats are facing two more scandals rocking top members of their party in the state: Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax has been accused by a college professor of sexual assault and Attorney General Mark Herring is reeling after he admitted that he appeared in blackface at a 1980 party. Prominent Democrats, including those running or thinking about running for president in 2020, have responded to these scandals with relative caution.
Many Democrats have called for an investigation into Fairfax for what they view as a credible allegation made against him but have stopped short of calling for a resignation. Vanessa Tyson said Wednesday that Fairfax sexually assaulted her at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston. Fairfax has vehemently denied the allegation.

Now, Justin Fairfax is a black man, so of course he's a violent rapist - duh!
Or is he? Maybe he's another white Democrat politician who started wearing blackface in the 80's and just never washed it off?
