Virginia lieutenant governor sees backlash for comparing calls to resign over sexual assault scandal to ‘being treated like Floyd’

Virginia’s black lieutenant governor, Justin Fairfax, ignited criticism after appearing to equate calls for him to step down amid accusations of sexual assault to the death of George Floyd in police custody.

Fairfax left many of those following the Virginia Democratic primary debate on Tuesday night scratching their heads after he portrayed himself as the victim of racial discrimination, and compared his situation to those of Floyd and Emmett Till, a teen who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955 after he was accused of offending a white woman.

A woman’s complaint about Canada’s top soldier went to Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan. When he wouldn’t get involved, she dropped it

Without assurances of support from the defence minister, a woman who made an informal complaint in 2018 against Canada’s top soldier wanted to let the matter go, the military’s former ombudsman told the Star.

As a result, Gary Walbourne said he did not pass on an allegation of misconduct to his successor about Jonathan Vance, the now retired general who was then Canada’s chief of the defence staff.

“No, I didn’t pass it on, because the complainant asked me to let it go,” Walbourne said. “Once I couldn’t get top cover from the minister, she was out.”

His conclusion would prove prophetic in ways he couldn’t imagine. “The answer is to do it in two terms,” he told a companion. “Third terms are always a mistake.”
