'So weird how that happened'! NYT puzzles over how all those Virginia Democratic scandals 'just went poof'

Remember Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s KKK/blackface yearbook scandal? Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax’s alleged sexual predation? How about Virginia AG Mark Herring’s blackface scandal?

And then? “It just went poof,” said Natalie Draper, a librarian sitting in the back of a coffeehouse last week in Richmond. “It’s like it never happened.”

Virginians have various theories as to how this surreal normalcy set in.

Some say the whole mess was so exhausting and embarrassing that by the time the legislature adjourned on Feb. 24, the outrage had burned itself out. Others point to polls that showed Virginia voters were considerably less hungry for resignations than their representatives were. Some political observers mused about more fundamental changes to the life span of scandal, describing President Trump’s approach to bad press as if it were a revolutionary medical breakthrough.
