As the pressure mounts on Fairfax to resign, here's one suggestion [View all]

If he feels he must resign, he should agree to do so only on one condition: Northam publicly agrees to appoint an African-American woman Lt. Governor approved by the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus in his place.

I would push for him to agree to both appoint an black female Lt. Governor and then resign himself, but that would make too much sense.
