Ok let’s put all the cards on the table…

Democrats:

Yes, Bill Clinton got a consensual BJ and subsequently lied about it.

Anthony Weiner was caught sexting a 21 years old and resigned his seat.

Al Franken resigned from the Senate over a photo taken when he was a comedian mocking groping an asleep woman…never actually touched her.

No children involved in any of these encounters.

Republicans:

During and after the 2016 presidential race, among the dozens of women who accused former president Donald Trump of being a sexual predator were several contestants in the 1997 Miss Teen USA pageant, who reported that he barged into their dressing room while girls as young as 15 were changing. (Trump allegedly told them, “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”)

Anton “Tony” Lazzaro is charged with seven counts involving “commercial sex acts” with five minors ages 15 and 16 in 2020, when he was 30 years old. His indictment touched off a political firestorm that led to the downfall of Jennifer Carnahan as chair of the Republican Party of Minnesota.

Ohio representative and former Ohio State University wrestling coach Jim Jordan aided and abetted in the university’s cover-up of sexual abuse within the program, a former team captain said in front of Ohio state legislators on Wednesday. 

2006, Florida Rep. Mark Foley was forced to resign after it was revealed that he’d sent sexually explicit messages and propositioned teenage congressional pages via email and text.

2015, former Rep. Dennis Hastert, the longest-ever serving Republican speaker of the House, pleaded guilty to making illegal hush-money payments in order to cover up his history of sexually abusing high school wrestlers he had coached decades before.

During the 2018 midterms, Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore was accused of preying on girls as young as 14 and 16; the New Yorker reported that his habit of trying to pick up high schoolers was so notorious that it actually got him banned from a local mall.

And finally, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida is currently the subject of a literal sex-trafficking investigation, which is looking into whether he had sex with an underage 17-year-old girl, among other issues. (Greene is close with Gaetz, who denies the allegations, and has defended him.)

I am seeing a pattern and it is not in the Democratic party it does seem that this a case of projection.

The Qinon trope that Democrats some how kill and eat babies, that Hillary Clinton was trafficking children from the basement of Rocket Pizza in DC (which btw has no basement),that we are grooming children and the big one that Democrats are for mutilation of underaged children that are gender confused. Oh yeah and that we are for abortion even after the infant is live born. Did I get them all, I am sure there are more but there all bull shit so I will stop listing them.

Big question is why, other than Bill Clinton, when a democrat is accused, they ultimately resign from their elected position. On the other hand republicans dig in their heals, even with abundant evidence so substantiate the charges against them, lie and then run for office again. The larger conundrum is how they get reelected… the conservative, Christian party only seems to have issues if the person in question has a (D) in their title otherwise its all just “Oh well, boys will be boys.”

The republican will fall in line no matter the immorality of their candidate and democrats have a purity test than can take down even the best….SAD
