    Fucking gross. People, please make sure to get your neighborhood conservatives fixed. Otherwise they will continue to mate and spawn additional hatchlings making the infestation even worse.

      They care about family values so much that they have two families. Checkmate, leftists.

    Realistically, this should be a non-issue and ignored…except for the fact that they both represent a party who claims to be the beacon of family values.

      I’m sure there are voices on the right who would agree that this is a solemn, private matter and not for public comment, then turn right around and share Hunter Biden dick pic memes. Fuck 'em. If they reject their own moral standards they lost the right to bitch about mine.

    Non-monogamy is cool as long as it’s ethical… What’s the over/under that these two concern themselves with ethics?

      They’re politically active and un-retired Republicans; nobody’s going to take that bet, because Republican politicians nearly without exception simply don’t concern themselves with ethics in any context.

    I find it sad that we treat celebrity gossip as newsworthy. Sure, they’re hypocrites. That’s like telling me touching water will get you wet. What else is new?

      This is newsworthy because one is the executive of an entire state. Having proof of the affair could give someone leverage over the governor and affect the way she conducts the business of the state.

        Well, probably not so much now.

        In theory, I don’t give a shit, consenting adults and all that.

        In practice, they’re complete pig rectums to everyone else about their sex lives so I’m not really invested in defending them. Got people at a higher priority to back.

          I dunno, out of the 12 people who live there, one of them is substantially less likely to vote for her now.

      Normally, I agree. But when this sort of thing is uncovered about politicians who constantly bleat about “family values”, it becomes immediately relevant to the public discourse around our state and national politics - specifically, how one particular party has a pattern and practice of extreme hypocrisy and gaslighting.

      They’re hypocrites and they want to be in charge. This isn’t some Hollywood star whose life outside entertaining us is irrelevant. This is someone who wants to decide what the laws that affect people like you and me are. These are the representatives that we send to negotiate on our behalf. Their ability to be decent human beings and keep promises they made matters.

    If your ideology boils down to power and domination, then hypocrisy is just virtue signaling.

      The gaslighting is a key component of the fascism.

      I scrolled pretty far to get to this comment. Everyone seems happy to just believe anything from anyone. I mean it’s probably true knowing these people, but still it’s the Daily Mail.

        (@Kbobabob, this is not pointed at you.)

        Americans gonna American.

        You know how we have OAN and Infowars and Breitbart? And how when one of those reports something, you go “Yeah, I’m gonna need a better source than that”? Same with Daily Mail. This doesn’t mean that everything they “report” is fabricated, but any given thing damned well could be, and even if the heart of it is true, the spin is so hard that it bends time and space.

    I hate conservatives as much as the next person, but we shouldn’t concern ourselves with who is fucking who, regardless of marital status if both parties are consenting. If we should be concerned with the other evil they do that impacts the lives of marginalized people.

      I don’t care who fucks who UNLESS you are trying to make it illegal to have a book that just mentions that gay people exist in a public library. Then who you fuck becomes relevant. And I still don’t care who you fuck, but I am only interested in the limited strategic political value it has to embarrass these shitheads. And, yes, conservatives do not care about hypocrisy, but I still think it’s good to publicize this kind of thing in case it just subliminally diminishes some of their supporters’ enthusiasm, even though it they won’t ever actually withdraw their support.
