    If he were a Republican who abused his office for personal gain, Democrats would be going after him while Republicans defended him. But since he’s a Democrat, Republicans are going after him while… Democrats are going after him.

    See how that works, Republicans? When someone genuinely seems to be corrupt, don’t circle the wagons and defend the indefensible.

      He is only baaaarely a Democrat, though. Didn’t he change his registration for the election?

        Doesn’t matter. He’s a Democrat now, and no one’s circling the wagons to protect him.

      If he were a Republican, this would be all over social media, front page of Reddit and Lemmy with THOUSANDS of upvotes and comments…

        And yet there would be no calls for his resignation from Republican politicians or the Republican party.

        Maybe the fact that the people would be calling for his resignation while the party wouldn’t be should tell you something important.

        It’d be everywhere on social media if he were unjustly defended. George Santos was a fucking clown - and you’ll see plenty of articles about Bob Menedez (a democrat) for the same reason.
