routine tasks like walking across a room by almost 45%. only on "cbs this morning" we are hearing from two women who accused virginia's lieutenant governor of sexual assault. vanessa tyson and meredith watson want the state legislature to hold a public hearing where they can testify under oath against justin fairfax. they came forward back in february after some lawmakers called on virginia governor ralph northam to resign over a racist yearbook photo. if northam would have resigned, fairfax would have replaced him. fairfax denies the women's allegations. tyson claimed fairfax assaulted her during the 2004 democratic national convention in boston. some of the details she shares with us are very disturbing. >> what were your impressions of him? >> he seemed very friendly, very charismatic. harmless, even.

he told me he was at columbia law school. we realized we had a mutual friend, so we immediately struck up a conversation. >> so you felt you had established a semi rapport with him. >> certainly. it wasn't flirtatious at all. >> did you feel safe with him? >> i certainly felt he was harmless. there were no red flags that suggested to me that he was a threat. >> so how do you end up in his hotel room? >> on the wednesday of the convention, so roughly 48 hours after i've met him, he suggests he has to run an errand. did i want to come with him and get a bit of fresh air and sunshine. it's early afternoon. >> what does he tell you he's going to the hotel to do? >> he just needed to pick up some paperwork is what he said. which sounded completely legitimate to me. >> you're there in the hotel standing by the door. then what happens? >> he crosses the room and, you know, kind of goes through his luggage, finds some paperwork.

right. which is what i assumed we were there for, good. he crosses back around the bed and comes over to me, and i'm still by the door. and he kisses me. >> you think? >> well, i was surprised. for a variety of reasons, i was surprised. but it wasn't unwelcome, per se. >> you're saying it wasn't unwelcome, and you're kissing him and you're okay with the kissing. >> yeah, i'm okay with kissing. he kind of gently takes my hands and guides me towards the bed. and we're still kissing. it's completely consensual. he guides me to the bed, and then he sits down on the bed. what happens from there, you know -- we start kissing lying down but on the very edge of the bed. >> i'm following. then what happens? >> we're kissing laying down. so our heads are level with each

other. then it was like my neck didn't work. >> what do you mean? >> it was like i couldn't -- i couldn't feel my neck. i couldn't hold my head up. he's using his hand on the back of my neck, and i still didn't know what was going wrong. i thought there was something wrong with my neck. and he's pushing down and pushing down, and i couldn't hold my neck up. and i didn't know what was going on. i honestly didn't know what was going on. and then the next thing i know, like, my head is literally in his crotch and i'm choking and gagging. i couldn't say anything because i'm choking and gagging. and so, you know, it continues and he's holding my head so i can't lift -- like i'm trying to lift my head but i can't.

>> is he saying anything to you, vanessa? nothing? >> nothing. >> and what are you thinking at this moment? >> to be honest, i'm in total shock. >> do you say anything to him? no? >> i didn't know what to say. i was just -- i was completely caught off guard. it was almost as if i was duck struc -- dumb struck. >> have you talked to justin fairfax since that day in 2004? >> the next day i remember walking -- it was the last day of the convention, and i remember walking, you know, i was walking towards the staff lounge. i was going to go in there, and i saw him in there. he didn't see me, and i just, you know, did a 180 and went the absolute opposite direction.

like, i just didn't want -- didn't even want him to see me, didn't want him -- no. >> so you really haven't seen him since that incident? 2004? >> no, i haven't seen him. i remember him trying to call me a couple times. but i just didn't pick up. this was after the convention was over. i think he e-mailed me a few times as well. like i, never initiated contact. >> did you tell anyone that this has happened? >> no. >> why didn't you tell anyone, vanessa? >> i was so ashamed. i was so humiliated on so many levels. here, i was this woman working at a rape crisis center, you know, trying to -- like, as a survivor speaker, trying to empower survivors of sexual

assault, and it was like i had just walked into a trap. >> you just mentioned you were a survivor speaker, that you work at a rape crisis center. >> yes. >> you were a survivor of what? >> of incest. >> was justin aware of this in your past? >> yes, actually. >> you shared that with him? >> yes. >> you felt comfortable enough sharing that with him even though you just met him? >> here's the thing. what i was doing for the rape crisis center was probably the biggest part of my life at that time. >> do you feel he took advantage of you knowing your past? >> in retrospect, yes. >> now, lieutenant governor fairfax responded to the accusations in a statement to cbs news. he says this. i feel so strongly regarding my innocence that i submitted myself to polygraph tests for each of the accusations against me. i passed these tests because, as i've maintained from the very beginning, i did not assault either of my accusers. now, there's one question in the

polygraph where he was asked whether vanessa contacted him after the boston convention in order to meet her mother. he says that he answered yes truthfully to that question. vanessa says she never contacted him after the incident. it was fascinating talking to her because i felt at some point it's almost like she was going back to the moment. >> you could see that. >> you could really see that in her eyes. people could say, yeah, but she went to the hotel room. yeah, she agreed to the kissing. isn't that on her? i could see as a young person, you have a mutual friend and think this guy is safe. kissing doesn't necessarily have to lead to what she says happened after that. >> something clearly changed when she was walking through what transpired. you could see where she got very emotional, went to that dark place. >> it was like she was forced. all right. up next, we're going to take a look at this morning's other head lines, including why actor jussie smollett was a punch line at an awards ceremony where he was also a nominee. you're watching "cbs this

countless handshakes, hugs, expressions of affections, support and comfort and not once, never, did i believe i acted inappropriately. if it is suggested i did so, i will listen respectfully. another 2020 hopeful bernie sanders said yesterday he has no reason not to believe flores. >> i think what this speaks to is the need to fundamentally change the culture of this country. and to create environments where women feel comfortable and feel safe and that's something we have got to do. >> now, flores supported the sanders campaign in 2016, which was accused this year of poorly handling sexual harassment claims from female staffers. sanders has apologized and said strict protocols will be in place on his 2020 campaign. the first two of women accusing virginia lieutenant governor of sexual assault says it is her civic duty to come forward. vanessa tyson is her name, she said justin fairfax assaulted her in 2004. he categorically denies these

allegations. when tyson and meredith watson first told their stories, fairfax compared himself to victims of lynching. tyson responded to his claim in an interview you'll see only on "cbs this morning." what do you make of justin fairfax comparing himself to a lynching victim? >> never was it two black women lynching black men. one need only look at history to try to understand that in fact that the role of black women had always been to, you know, leading anti-lynching campaigns, you know. black women were lynched specifically trying to protect black men. and speaking of someone who teaches black politics, i find it disgraceful, irresponsible, and manipulative. >> is this a racial issue to you? >> sexual assault should never be a racial issue. it should never be a partisan

issue. sexual assault is an epidemic taking place around the world, across our country, every day. >> what do you want to happen to justin fairfax? why are you coming forward? >> i would want him to resign. i think the virginia people, the voters of virginia, have a right to know, you know, both my story and meredith's story. >> he said this is an orchestrated smear campaign against him. >> yes. >> by you, and meredith watson. >> i never met meredith watson. i don't know what she looks like. i've never spoken with her. >> she also says she's never met you and never spoken to you either. when i talked to her, she really fell apart when she said she feels tremendous guilt that she didn't come forward because it happened to her, she says, in 2000. >> she can never blame herself. this wasn't her. it wasn't me. it wasn't either one of us. it was justin fairfax.

one thing i will say is that it is hard. i can't even begin to tell you how hard it is to come forward. especially against someone powerful and when she came forward, she didn't want me to feel alone. and that meant the world to me. because it is just hard to be alone. >> meredith watson came forward shortly after vanessa tyson made her accusations in february. she told us that she is very sorry for not reporting her allegation that fairfax raped her nearly 20 years ago. >> why do you feel guilty? >> it happened to her after it happened to me. and had i had the strength or the courage to say something in

20 2000, maybe it never would have happened to her. >> fairfax maintains that both women are making false accusations. in a statement to cbs news, the lieutenant governor said this to us, i'm able to hear the pain they have expressed, a pain i hope they're able to resolve and heal. however, because i never assaulted either dr. tyson or miss watson, i know my actions cannot be the source of that pain. now, you can find the lieutenant governor's full statement on our website, cbsthismorning.com. we're hoping that lieutenant governor fairfax will speak to us at some point. you'll see more of our interview with meredith watson tomorrow including why she's asking for a public hearing as opposed to an investigation and she is ready to testify under oath. they both say they want to testify under oath and they both -- both women say about consensual because he has said that these were consensual acts.

in both of them say it can't be consensual if they felt they were both forced. >> there is an incredible amount of pain there. >> yes. >> all these years later, that pain has stuck with them about how they felt in that moment, and how it has affected them now for decades. >> and think about the learning we have done. there was a period, half a year ago, people said these people are coming forward after so many years, why are they coming forward? how can it really be so real? we have now seen example after example how it is as real as if it happened yesterday. >> exactly right, john. now to this story, new york will be the second state after california now to ban plastic bags. the law will go into effect next march. trash, take-out and newspaper bags will be exempt. now under the plan, counties and cities can also charge 5 cents per paper bag. the goal of the ban is to cut litter and help produce greenhouse gas emissions. a lot of us work hard to make sure that only trash goes into our trash bags. but the waste that you recycle

santa anita reopened last friday after being closed for a month as track operators try to determine what is behind the deaths. the "new york times" announced china announced a ban on fentanyl. officials said the ban will take effect may 1st. it fulfills a pledge to president trump last year, who criticized china for allowing fentanyl to be shipped into the u.s. synthetic opioids are blamed for tens of thousands of overdoses. china died being responsible for the deaths.

history are cronnaled in "the matriarch: barbara bush and the making of an american dynasty" written by "usa today" washington bureau chief susan page, interviewed mrs. bush five times and one two of people outside the family ever granted access to her personal diaries. good morning. >> good morning. >> oh my gosh, and it shows. >> bravo. >> it's so richly researched and so many new details. i know you talked to so many people, over 100 people, right? >> that's right. >> you asked them if george bush hadn't been married to barbara pierce, would he have become president and what was the conclusion you came to? >> such a generational divide. people in the bush's generation generally said yes, he would have become president regardless, but the younger you got, the more astonishing people thought the question was, because they were such partners and the word that people kept using was indispensable, they were each indispensable to the other. i asked actually to the bushes separately that question, and barbara bush said immediately, absolutely, he was destined to

be, do all the things that he did and i asked george, and he thought about it a minute and said yes, i think i would have become president. >> surprising. >> i think they are both wrong about that, because i think this was a partnership, the likes of which we rarely see in life. >> let's go through, there's so many interesting details. you open up in one of the opening chapters about the death of barbara's first daughter, robin, who died of leukemia at the age of 3 years old. why did you start the book with that story? >> i didn't originally. in the first draft of this book, i had it chronologically in the first chapter on the 1988 election that put george h.w. bush in the white house, and i realized it was so long, that that was not the defining event of her life, that the defining event of her life or one of the most defining events was the death of robin, and it shaped so many of her views going forward, for one thing her own relationship. she was the strong one during's robin's illness and he was the strong one in the aftermath,

that was a pattern they repeated through decades that followed. even when you came to things like her activism on aids, that related to what she saw the stigma surrounding kids with leukemia, when her daughter was suffering. >> it was also interesting to see the dynamic of barbara bush and her mom, how that mom, her mother affected her, because you write that her mom was a little mean to her and certainly seemed to favor the other daughter who she considered prettier and smarter than barbara bush, how that must have affected her. >> her mother would often make comments about her weight and barbara bush was sensitive about her weight for the rest of her life. often the first thing she noticed about a woman she met was whether she was slender or not so clearly it was on her mind. it's a signature of hers she'd make fun of herself, make fun of her weight and i think in you t so many vulnerabilities.

her daughter robin dies in 1953. >> that's right >> she reveals in the 1970s she suffered through a great bout of depression, where she was suicidal. did you talk to her about that? >> i did, and this was something that the only person she confided in was her husband. they had come back from china. he had taken over being head of the cia. all of a sudden, she had been an integral part of his life and conot share the cia secrets with her because she said she couldn't keep a secret and also going through menopause and there may have been other factors as well. she would find herself so depressed she thought about plowing her car into a tree or into the path of an oncoming car and she would have to pull off the road and wait for that impulse to pass. now, after about six months, this depression lifted. one thing she did was go volunteer in a hospice, and that she thinks that was helpful in her getting through this. she says now she told me she felt she should have gone to a doctor and gotten treatment for

depression and urge other people to, but it affected how she felt about people who suffered from depression, because she didn't seem judgmental about it, because she understood in her own life. >> she understood the pain. >> how did she connect that, did she connect that with the role women were supposed to play in the generation she came from and the emerging one. there was a kind of stoicism you were supposed to maintain, which undoubtedly must have made the depression worse. >> that's right, and you know, one thing that happened during this depression is, to a small degree, she questioned the choices she had made in life. this was a time with the rise of mechanism, women had all kinds of options and opportunities that they hadn't had when she was growing up and she wondered if her life had real meaning, if she had made a big difference and one of her sons, neil, told me he couldn't believe she felt that way. they talked about it once. he couldn't believe she felt that way, given all she had done. >> it's juicy, and it's so smart, and you really give us some insight into who barbara bush was.

i look at her very differently now, the things that we just really didn't know about her. >> right. >> well done. >> you talked about her views on abortion rights. jennifer fitzgerald may have some sort of relationship with her husband, as you point out, so many things. >> she and nancy reagan. >> they did not get along. >> and american history, too, and to see it through her life. pstory behind that and what doe she want the book to be called. >> she didn't like the matriarch and didn't like dynasty. i said what would you call the book? she said "the fat lady sings again.
