Next in line in VA after Northam, Fairfax, and Herring is guy whose name was picked out of a bowl.

Mark Berman ✔ @markberman (Wapo)

So, to recap: Va's governor admitted he wore blackface. The lt gov is facing a sexual assault allegation. The AG says he too wore blackface. The House Speaker is next in line. He has that job because an election was tied and a name picked out of a bowl.



I believe the current House Speaker is M. Kirkland Cox, a republican from Colonial Heights, a suburb of Richmond. What is his crime against humanity?

One or two resign. Last man standing appoints Dems (per Va. Constitution) then HE resigns and his replacement is picked by the current Governor.

Cox is going to have a tough re-election for his house seat once the court order redistricting is in place.

Va is blue. Don’t loose faith.
