ABCNews: Virginia Democrat Congressman Bobby Scot Was Told By Vanessa Tyson About Her Claims Against Justin Fairfax a Year Ago, But Apparently Did Little to Get Her Story Out

Believe All Women, except the inconvenient ones.

He did agree to talk to the Washington Post -- but we all know how that went.

And this article doesn't say what he told the Post.

Did he support her? And if he supported her at all -- how vigorously or tepidly?

In a statement given to ABC News on Wednesday, Scott wrote, "Allegations of sexual assault need to be taken seriously. I have known Professor Tyson for approximately a decade and she is a friend. She deserves the opportunity to have her story heard."

...

When pressed by ABC News, aides said they did not know what the congressman did with that information, but that he told Tyson that he agreed to speak with the Washington Post.

Scott himself was previously accused of sexual harassment by a former aide, who said he touched her inappropriately when she was working in his Washington office in 2013. He denied the claim.

Aides say Scott maintains that Tyson never brought up the allegations in the many years that they have known each other prior to the time period between December 2017 and January 2018.

Also, Dr. Vanessa Tyson (Democrats always made sure to give Blowsey full honorifics, so we should do the same for Dr. Tyson) told colleagues at Stanford about the sexual assault last fall.

#BelieveAllWomen. Women never lie about rape.
