░░░░░░░░ Justin Fairfax I say ░░░░░░░░ without reservation I did ░░░░░░░░ sexually assault or rape ░░░░░░░░ Watson Vanessa Tyson or ░░░░░░░░ else I knew at ░░░░░░░░ time this would be ░░░░░░░░ most difficult of times ░░░░░░░░ calls for an investigation ░░░░░░░░ though they don t ░░░░░░░░ jurisdiction in these issues ░░░░░░░░ should happen if he ░░░░░░░░ what he wants The ░░░░░░░░ have lawyered up and ░░░░░░░░ has lawyered up He ░░░░░░░░ right to ask for ░░░░░░░░ And the house will ░░░░░░░░ it up in impeachment ░░░░░░░░ interesting because I don ░░░░░░░░ think you can make ░░░░░░░░ an impeachment process based ░░░░░░░░ these alone These two ░░░░░░░░ have not made allegations ░░░░░░░░ filed complaints in either ░░░░░░░░ and are within the ░░░░░░░░ of limitations in both ░░░░░░░░ They re investigating themselves ░░░░░░░░ should have done before ░░░░░░░░ ran for office They ░░░░░░░░ investigating themselves and putting ░░░░░░░░ case together politically and ░░░░░░░░ In the end it ░░░░░░░░ her word against his ░░░░░░░░ because there aren t ░░░░░░░░ direct witnesses You build ░░░░░░░░ from that secondary witnesses ░░░░░░░░ young woman told you ░░░░░░░░ to assess the credibility ░░░░░░░░ it and determine what ░░░░░░░░ political outcome will be ░░░░░░░░ don t know that ░░░░░░░░ the political outcome Kathryn ░░░░░░░░ ll turn you to ░░░░░░░░ have the interview given

happening in Virginia ░░░░░░░░ people don t hire ░░░░░░░░ pr to help them ░░░░░░░░ It s not the ░░░░░░░░ to do when you ░░░░░░░░ in the middle of ░░░░░░░░ race scandal I m ░░░░░░░░ Roots It s pretty ░░░░░░░░ The unfortunate thing is ░░░░░░░░ people are choosing sides ░░░░░░░░ this for partisan reasons ░░░░░░░░ think you see that ░░░░░░░░ the poll you just ░░░░░░░░ About half of Virginia ░░░░░░░░ Democrat and Republican and ░░░░░░░░ would guess those fall ░░░░░░░░ neatly on resign and ░░░░░░░░ resign There s designated ░░░░░░░░ if the guy at ░░░░░░░░ end is a Democrat ░░░░░░░░ they re ready to ░░░░░░░░ him fall but not ░░░░░░░░ of that Because Virginians ░░░░░░░░ insane they re not ░░░░░░░░ On the insanity The ░░░░░░░░ of signatories on statements ░░░░░░░░ for resignation of these ░░░░░░░░ men in high power ░░░░░░░░ gets longer and longer ░░░░░░░░ surprised are you it ░░░░░░░░ been a week but ░░░░░░░░ like Always feels like ░░░░░░░░ year these days I ░░░░░░░░ not that surprised because ░░░░░░░░ feel like president Donald ░░░░░░░░ has very much changed ░░░░░░░░ is considered a political ░░░░░░░░ and isn t these ░░░░░░░░ We have somebody occupying ░░░░░░░░ White House who has ░░░░░░░░ allegations of sexual assault ░░░░░░░░ him and he s ░░░░░░░░ there Same thing with ░░░░░░░░ statements the president is ░░░░░░░░ making if you look ░░░░░░░░ this tweet he put ░░░░░░░░ mentioning Elizabeth Warren lightheartedly ░░░░░░░░ trail of tears In ░░░░░░░░ caps In all caps ░░░░░░░░ really sets the standard ░░░░░░░░ Northam is free to ░░░░░░░░ it out and say ░░░░░░░░ m not going anywhere ░░░░░░░░ s the standard we ░░░░░░░░ in the country Is ░░░░░░░░ true about him he ░░░░░░░░ he s reading Roots ░░░░░░░░ I would say welcome ░░░░░░░░ 2016 Reading the book ░░░░░░░░ mini series is better ░░░░░░░░ Long Might I suggest ░░░░░░░░ Luther King jr s ░░░░░░░░ m a standup radio ░░░░░░░░ you can t say ░░░░░░░░ m looking into race ░░░░░░░░ now It s too ░░░░░░░░ Inappropriate You can t ░░░░░░░░ on a redemption tour ░░░░░░░░ These are types of ░░░░░░░░ you as a politician ░░░░░░░░ are distinctions that must ░░░░░░░░ made by the viewers ░░░░░░░░ listeners and American people ░░░░░░░░ re not talking about ░░░░░░░░ or airline pilot Governor ░░░░░░░░ Brett Kavanaugh judge for ░░░░░░░░ That guy will be ░░░░░░░░ the Supreme Court looking ░░░░░░░░ the emperor from emperor ░░░░░░░░ back That s why ░░░░░░░░ matters if you re ░░░░░░░░ for Northam governor We ░░░░░░░░ to look back at ░░░░░░░░ we ve done in ░░░░░░░░ situation Halloween It s ░░░░░░░░ when you re a ░░░░░░░░ or moral leader These ░░░░░░░░ should be held by ░░░░░░░░ different standard If I ░░░░░░░░ why don t you ░░░░░░░░ us how you really ░░░░░░░░ It s Tyron s ░░░░░░░░ it s tiresome 58 ░░░░░░░░ they don t want ░░░░░░░░ to resign It s ░░░░░░░░ but disappointing If all ░░░░░░░░ go the Republicans get ░░░░░░░░ seats of power The ░░░░░░░░ thing interesting I ve ░░░░░░░░ talking to business leaders ░░░░░░░░ the ground in Richmond ░░░░░░░░ thing going on business ░░░░░░░░ black and white think ░░░░░░░░ they re in a ░░░░░░░░ position to control Northam ░░░░░░░░ more out of Northam ░░░░░░░░ a wounded democratic governor ░░░░░░░░ if he wasn t ░░░░░░░░ the scandal If he ░░░░░░░░ whether it s Fairfax ░░░░░░░░ herring or the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ s an unknown quantity ░░░░░░░░ s a lot of ░░░░░░░░ inducement and grandicement There ░░░░░░░░ a big difference between ░░░░░░░░ black face and Medicare ░░░░░░░░ There should be a ░░░░░░░░ between the horrible things ░░░░░░░░ say and do versus ░░░░░░░░ actual it s been ░░░░░░░░ and hypocritical watching Republicans ░░░░░░░░ for him to stand ░░░░░░░░ with Donald Trump and ░░░░░░░░ else And at the ░░░░░░░░ time we re having ░░░░░░░░ conversation about due process ░░░░░░░░ s amazing how being ░░░░░░░░ of something will bring ░░░░░░░░ the fore a deep ░░░░░░░░ abiding desire for due ░░░░░░░░ The reason often these ░░░░░░░░ don t come forward ░░░░░░░░ won t get due ░░░░░░░░ Both parties in theory ░░░░░░░░ should be a baseline ░░░░░░░░ where there is due ░░░░░░░░ and ask for everyone ░░░░░░░░ adhere to the standards ░░░░░░░░ law That isn t ░░░░░░░░ the discussions of me ░░░░░░░░ accusations has always gone ░░░░░░░░ in this case the ░░░░░░░░ face scandals obviously are ░░░░░░░░ don t know we ░░░░░░░░ to carefully litigate those ░░░░░░░░ have the photos The ░░░░░░░░ between Kevin spacey and ░░░░░░░░ Cosby and a governor ░░░░░░░░ a president there needs ░░░░░░░░ be a distinction There ░░░░░░░░ a legal layer and ░░░░░░░░ layer and cultural layer ░░░░░░░░ well You looking through ░░░░░░░░ poll and buried deep ░░░░░░░░ there was a question ░░░░░░░░ black face I was ░░░░░░░░ perhaps unreasonably 11 of ░░░░░░░░ in the state of ░░░░░░░░ have either worn black ░░░░░░░░ or know someone who ░░░░░░░░ 2019 that was the ░░░░░░░░ of that polling I ░░░░░░░░ t seen that yet ░░░░░░░░ you be startled or ░░░░░░░░ you not be is ░░░░░░░░ entire point the truth ░░░░░░░░ that racism is very ░░░░░░░░ seated in our society ░░░░░░░░ see instances all over ░░░░░░░░ shocking but not that ░░░░░░░░ because we haven t ░░░░░░░░ all that far When ░░░░░░░░ first wave of me ░░░░░░░░ scandals came out a ░░░░░░░░ of men said who ░░░░░░░░ this was happening around ░░░░░░░░ and women said Obviously ░░░░░░░░ is happening around us ░░░░░░░░ it s time to ░░░░░░░░ that same conversation about ░░░░░░░░ Let me say this ░░░░░░░░ is not blue yet ░░░░░░░░ has a tortured history ░░░░░░░░ race racism confederate and ░░░░░░░░ northern part is very ░░░░░░░░ and the leadership comes ░░░░░░░░ the northern part There ░░░░░░░░ a southern part in ░░░░░░░░ 80s 90s now that ░░░░░░░░ they may not endorse ░░░░░░░░ People that don t ░░░░░░░░ like me oppose racism ░░░░░░░░ At the same time ░░░░░░░░ that number 1 2 ░░░░░░░░ 4 5 on that ░░░░░░░░ are what affects them ░░░░░░░░ a day to day ░░░░░░░░ opposed to people of ░░░░░░░░ who live it and ░░░░░░░░ reminded of it everyday ░░░░░░░░ they make themselves a ░░░░░░░░ or achieve and ignore ░░░░░░░░ or protest it it ░░░░░░░░ very different The challenge ░░░░░░░░ the new south Virginia ░░░░░░░░ still dealing with the ░░░░░░░░ south Virginia and its ░░░░░░░░ history and tortured past ░░░░░░░░ don t want to ░░░░░░░░ anybody off the hook ░░░░░░░░ the same time whatever ░░░░░░░░ 11 statistic is there ░░░░░░░░ be a level of ░░░░░░░░ and there is a ░░░░░░░░ of ignorance in America ░░░░░░░░ may be paying homage ░░░░░░░░ a black person Maybe ░░░░░░░░ November 80s you dressed ░░░░░░░░ in a black leather ░░░░░░░░ and went to a ░░░░░░░░ party because you re ░░░░░░░░ huge Eddie Murphy fan ░░░░░░░░ important thing that is ░░░░░░░░ now I didn t ░░░░░░░░ that because I knew ░░░░░░░░ was wrong If anybody ░░░░░░░░ doesn t know the ░░░░░░░░ history of black face ░░░░░░░░ should look into it ░░░░░░░░ Roots You should have ░░░░░░░░ known If you don ░░░░░░░░ look like me and ░░░░░░░░ ve been around that ░░░░░░░░ tolerated that you didn ░░░░░░░░ protest that you say ░░░░░░░░ oppose racism you can ░░░░░░░░ have it both ways ░░░░░░░░ can t have an ░░░░░░░░ all white and do ░░░░░░░░ types of things and ░░░░░░░░ that s a buddy ░░░░░░░░ mine and my friends ░░░░░░░░ I don t support ░░░░░░░░ but you participate by ░░░░░░░░ part of that audience ░░░░░░░░ thing we have to ░░░░░░░░ it bleeds into our ░░░░░░░░ culture in ways that ░░░░░░░░ t as overt as ░░░░░░░░ in black face taking ░░░░░░░░ picture of it In ░░░░░░░░ 90s super predators the ░░░░░░░░ even espoused those are ░░░░░░░░ approaches rhetorically codes that ░░░░░░░░ apply to racial elements ░░░░░░░░ occupier society and still ░░░░░░░░ now within the Republican ░░░░░░░░ That kind of acceptance ░░░░░░░░ still happening Why Why ░░░░░░░░ we haven t acknowledged ░░░░░░░░ Intergenerational racism continues to ░░░░░░░░ You re not born ░░░░░░░░ a racist gene I ░░░░░░░░ not born with one ░░░░░░░░ parents and families are ░░░░░░░░ it and you have ░░░░░░░░ of it and that ░░░░░░░░ to stop Obviously we ░░░░░░░░ t acknowledged it In ░░░░░░░░ we have not we ░░░░░░░░ confederate statutes up We ░░░░░░░░ not had it We ░░░░░░░░ t get past it ░░░░░░░░ we have those In ░░░░░░░░ they have the concentration ░░░░░░░░ and museums Brazil acknowledged ░░░░░░░░ sin of slavery America ░░░░░░░░ now hat confederate statutes ░░░░░░░░ Not walls commemorations of ░░░░░░░░ sinful pasts That s ░░░░░░░░ we need to acknowledge ░░░░░░░░ have that history to ░░░░░░░░ with America wants to ░░░░░░░░ on without reconciling the ░░░░░░░░
