A few days ago — before we found out that Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax was accused of sexual assault — we told you how the Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin was called a racist by Alyssa Milano for calling the now problematic governor “eloquent”:
Dems need to move Northam out ASAP. Lt. Gov is dynamic, eloquent African American. Every hour or day that goes by makes the whole thing worse

This right here is what systemic deep-rooted racism looks like. Recognize it and call it out when you see it. ? https://t.co/3KXTy4dUg2

No one who replied to this tweet understands that saying, “He’s an eloquent African American” is offensive?!

We need to revisit this exchange for two reasons. One, does Rubin still think Fairfax is “eloquent” after he reportedly said, “f*ck that b*tch” about his accuser? From our post earlier today:
And two, Alyssa Milano, as far as we can tell from her Twitter feed, has yet to weigh in on the allegations against Fairfax. Does Milano believe Fairfax’s accuser? And if so, what does she want to see happen next?
