The woman is Vanessa Tyson, a professor at Scripps College and a fellow at Stanford University. Kemberlee blogged yesterday that Tyson retained the same firm that represented Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault.
The Washington Examiner reported that Fairfax’s chief of staff Lawrence Roberts denied the report. Fairfax also released this statement, which included a plea to treat Tyson and Fairfax with respect:

He wrote:
I would like to encourage the media, my supporters, and others to treat both the woman who made this allegation and my family with respect for how painful this situation can be for everyone involved. I wish her no harm or humiliation, nor do I seek to denigrate her or diminish her voice. But I cannot agree with a description of events that I know is not true.
If we learned anything from the past week, it’s that we have to listen to people’s experiences to learn from them so we can make progress. Like many of you, I’ve spent time over the last several days discussing difficult subjects with people very close to me. I believe that if we continue to listen, we will continue to make the progress that makes the Commonwealth of Virginia a unique place, not only in the South, but in the United States of America.
These are unprecedented and difficult times. We have the opportunity to prove ourselves worthy of the challenge and come together. I look forward to continuing my work to unify the Commonwealth.

So he admitted that he did that. His comments also sound much like rappers, a group which is very close to the lowest form of life we barely within humanity.
How rich the irony.
He already did – without her consent – per her.
Clean and articulate… /maybe not.
Jennifer Rubin hit hardest
Well I suppose that is what he wanted to do–but he only got to hold her down for a BJ.
Fairfax needs a bit more creativity. Bitch set up already used by mayor for life Marion Barry.
He could always say he was writing lyrics for a rap song.
“Fuck that bitch” Quite the eloquence.
Suppose he is innocent and she is trying so smear him or extort him. Would such a statement, spoken in confidence to a close adviser or friend, be understandable then?
When it comes to politics, there are no friends. This makes it more difficult to defend his position.
You just don’t get it. Women have the absolute right to change their minds. Or to quote the old saw, “she didn’t know she’d been raped until the check bounced”.
Would [it] be understandable then?
Dems set new rules with Kavanaugh. #BelieveSurvivors
But but believe the womens…..?
Maybe they should ban shovels rather than guns in Virginia.
This one has a very thin veneer of civilization.
That’s worse than Marion Barry’s “the bitch set me up!”. ????
The Dim Mayor was high on crack, so he gets a pass.
(Shrugs) Either he did it, in which case he’s a rapist and should be in jail not in office, or he didn’t do it, in which case the utterance only bothers me for vulgarity and in context very little of that. The problem is how to tell which. But Pence is a lunatic for not being alone with women other than his wife.
Clearly Pence was ahead of the game, all CEO’s and others now practice the same and I don’t blame them as a woman
I have hired lots of women over the past 3 decades.
In my first business I hired a very attractive assistant, both of were single, and we worked mostly alone. A romance developed, and it was to put it mildly turbulent.
The problem was that when she was mad at me she was nasty with clients. So I sent her picture and a bio around to other people I knew who were in business, and one of them hired her.
Ever since that experience I have avoided hiring women whom I found too interesting, better to not have temptation.
. . . used profane language in a private meeting
Too bad the concept of “private” anything seems to be obsolete. I’ll miss it.
Normally i discount anything with anonymous sources but i am making an exception this time.
Funny…not seeing this on Politico or Huffington. It’s all about blackface
Fairfax may be a profane, disrespectful and unrepentant sexual assaulter of women, but, on the bright side, he may have a promising career ahead of him, in “gangsta” rap.
Get out the butter, he’s toast! What can a Dem do? Choose between a “Me Too” black woman or a black man. Maybe a double resignation?
The newly revamped War on Women?
The lack of vigorous and self-righteous condemnation by the MSM is obvious. One has to have severe cognitive dissonance blinders on at this point to not recognize media bias.
