to past incidents and photos—blackface, confederate flag, KKK robes, etc.

Both Democrats and repugs may have such incidents in their past which is why I'm not too worried about the 4th-in-line repug taking over in Virginia.

Pretty likely a right-leaning person from that area has a similar history.

OTOH, a person in Fairfax's situation, black or white, is even more vulnerable as anyone, man or woman, can come forward and claim sexual assault or even just sexual encounters against a candidate or even sitting office holder with a "he said-she said" or "he said_he said" or "she said-she said" claim.

These are tricky times with these right wing web sites on the prowl.
