Democratic Virginia Lt Gov accuses rivals of treating him ‘like George Floyd or Emmett Till’ for assuming he was guilty when he was accused of sexual assault in 2019

Virginia politician hoping to be elected as the state’s governor has likened himself to George Floyd and Emmett Till, saying that he understands what it is like to be falsely accused, after allegations were made of sexual assault.

Justin Fairfax, the Lieutenant Governor of the state, is one of five Democrats hoping to replace Ralph Northam – who cannot serve a consecutive term – in November.

The candidates, in their first gubernatorial debate, were asked about policing in the state, in light of the current trial in Minneapolis of Derek Chauvin, accused of the murder of George Floyd.

Fairfax, 42, who is black, said he, like them, knew what it was to be falsely accused.
