We Believe All Women. Do You?

Earlier today, after reports surfaced of a private meeting between Justin Fairfax and other Democrats in which Fairfax called the woman making sexual assault allegations against him a “f**king bitch,” his accuser came forward. Her name is Dr. Vanessa Tyson. She shared her account. It’s disturbing.

It should be obvious based on the details of that account that Democrats unanimously support Dr. Tyson and believe that Justin Fairfax should resign, just as we believed Governor Northam should resign within 24 hours of the blackface yearbook photo surfacing. However, Republicans only read the takes and tweets of other Republicans, so apparently, they’re not hearing the many, many Democrats who are demanding Fairfax resign (to be fair, Democrats are the same way).

Not that it is not apparent, but it definitely needs to be said: We believe Dr. Tyson. We believe that Justin Fairfax should resign immediately. We also believe that the Governor and Attorney General should do the same.

The question is: Do Republicans actually believe that Justin Fairfax should step aside, or are they just saying that because he’s a Democrat?

We support Dr. Tyson.

Regardless of who the accusation is against, we believe Dr. Tyson. Can we depend on your support to call for the resignation of a Republican politician in the same position?

We believe that Fairfax should resign. Would you join us in supporting the resignation of all politicians — regardless of political affiliation — in similar disturbing circumstances?

Fairfax should resign, regardless of political party. No one should get a free pass where it concerns sexual assault.

Democrats support Dr. Tyson. We believe that Fairfax should resign. We also believe that Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination should have been withdrawn. Will you support us in asking him to step down?

Agreed. Tyson absolutely deserves to be heard, to the extent she wants to be heard beyond the statement she released. Also, Kavanaugh drunkenly tried to rape Dr. Ford, which we know because we listened and believed Dr. Ford. Did you?

We believe Tyson, and we admire her bravery in stepping forward. We have demanded Northam resign. We are also demanding that Fairfax do the same. We also believe the many accusers of President Trump. Do you?

We find Dr. Tyson every bit as credible as Dr. Ford, who had a clear recollection of the salient details. We believe Dr. Tyson just as we believed Dr. Ford, regardless of the political party of the abuser.

Nope. We still #BelieveAllWomen. That includes Vanessa Tyson. Do you? Sixteen women accused President Trump of sexual harassment. Do you believe them, as we do?

No difference whatsoever. We believe Dr. Tyson. Did you believe Dr. Ford?

Justin Fairfax does not speak for the Democratic Party. He speaks for himself. We believe women.
