Justin Fairfax accuses former Ex-Virginia governor McAuliffe of treating him like George Floyd
Fox News
In a Tuesday night debate for the Virginia governorship, gubernatorial candidate lieutenant governor, Justin Fairfax, a Black man, accused his competitor Terry McAuliffe, of treating him "like George Floyd and Emmett Till" following accusations of sexual assault leveled against Fairfax by two women in 2019.
Fairfax’s comments were the most pointed attempt by the three Black candidates running against McAuliffe to draw a racial distinction between the contenders running to fill the governorship. "Everyone on that stage called for my immediate resignation, including Terry McAuliffe three minutes after a press release came out," Fairfax said during the Tuesday evening debate. "He treated me like George Floyd. He treated me like Emmett Till. No due process. Immediately assumed my guilt."More Related News
