It's not easy being a Democrat
these days. At any moment, some action or character trait that was
celebrated just a few years ago suddenly becomes verboten; or
some hitherto unknown social-justice concern comes flying in from left
field or outer space and lands in your lap. Such is the case with the
senior Democrats in the Virginia state house, who from the governor on
down have suddenly been accused of behavior that was perfectly
acceptable when Al Jolson, Laurence Olivier, or Harvey Weinstein used to do it. What's a jackass to do? The New York Times is beside itself with the intersectionality of it all:
Less than a week after Gov. Ralph Northam and Attorney General Mark R. Herring said they wore blackface as young men, Mr. Fairfax on Friday faced a second assault accusation in three days. He is now under intense pressure to resign or face impeachment, transforming what had been a crisis for Virginia Democrats into a searing dilemma for the national party.The political turmoil for Democratic leaders this weekend is unfolding at the intersection of race and gender, and risks pitting the party’s most pivotal constituencies against one another. If Democrats do not oust Mr. Fairfax, at a time when the party has taken a zero-tolerance stand on sexual misconduct in the #MeToo era, they could anger female voters.
But -- and you just know there's a but coming...............https://pjmedia.com/trending/in-virginia-democrats-hoist-by-the-intersectionality-petard/
