I think it would be helpful to add a timeline section to this article, but befoer I populate it, I think I want to brainstorm an outline. Feel free to edit the text in blockquote below.
- January 29 As Virginia approaches "Crossover week" (midpoint of legislative session), [1] a clip of exchange between Virginia Delegate Todd Gilbert and Virginia Delegate Kathy Tran regarding proposed Virginia abortion legislation patterned after New York's sweeping new abortion law [2] goes viral on conservative websites and draws concerns about implications of infanticide for third-trimester and "post birth" abortions. [3]
- January 30 comments by Northam about "post birth" abortions stoke additional controversy. The next day, Northam tells The Washington Post "I don't have any regrets"
- February 1, 2019 Big League Politics publishes Northam Blackface picture on Friday. Northam says he was one of the two people in the racist picture.
- February 2: Amid calls to resign by Fairfax and others, Northam says he won't resign, and that he was not in that picture, but he had donned blackface for a party where he dressed as Michael Jackson and appeared in a moonwalking contest. [4] [5] After this news conference on Saturday, Mark Warner, Bobby Scott, and Tim Kaine, and L. Douglas Wilder all call for Northam's resignation. [6]
- Virginia Democrats and Congressional Black Caucus call for Northam to resign [7]
- February 4: Big League Politics releases initial assault allegations about Justin Fairfax [8] and Fairfax denounces them as "a smear" [9]
- February 5 -- During the 2019 State of the Union Address, Donald Trump calls out governor Northam for late-term abortion comments but does not mention other scandals. [10]
- Feb 6
- Mark Herring Blackface picture comes out.
- Fairfax responds to first allegation. with a written statement [11]
- February 8 -- second allegation comes out against Fairfax
- Rev. Al Sharpton speaks at Virginia Union University and calls for Northam and Herring to resign. [12]
- February 9
- February 11 -- Many of Faifax's staff quit. [15]
Obviously needs to be cleaned up... Do y'all think this would be a helpful addition to the article? It is not as if all the scandals dropped at once, and it might be helpful for readers to understand the timing of it. Peace, MPS ( talk) 15:49, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
i think the 'Reactions' section would be better as a 'Background' section and should include the extremely close 2017 Virginia House of Delegates election and also the Me Too movement.-- Pharos ( talk) 16:46, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
Per WP:RACIST, it doesn't seem like we should be using terms like "racism scandal" in this article, unless we can attribute such a term to a specific source. I've removed this term from the article twice, and I don't want to be guilty of edit warring, so if it gets re-added, or if similar terms are added to the article, then I won't get involved (at least not today). I hope others can see my reasoning on this though. -- Jpcase ( talk) 18:59, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 2019 Virginia political crisis's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "abortion feud":
Reference named "GOP outrage":
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:23, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
There could be more information on the perspective's of the three men involved in the 2019 Virginia political crisis. I think it would be interesting to note the consequences of the men besides being forced to resign. Lcordover ( talk) 18:27, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
