Oh, man, this just gets worse for Dems…
On top of Friday’s news that a second woman has accused Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault, we’re now seeing reports that Gov. Ralph Northam told his staff that he will not resign:

Wait, there’s more! Apparently, his staff assigned him homework to help him understand what he did wrong:
"[Northam's] advisers have assigned the governor homework: He’s begun to read Alex Haley’s Roots, and The Case for Reparations, the seminal essay in The Atlantic by Ta-Nehisi Coates." https://t.co/uzl4az3feC

Good look, Ralph:
LOL he thinks this is going to blow over. https://t.co/3zmT4SXywY

Well, maybe with the Fairfax news he has a shot of sticking it out?
