Policing Their Own

When Republicans find a bad apple within their ranks, they do not only not defend the malefactor, they destroy the wrongdoer themselves. Does Mark Foley ring a bell? How about Larry Craig? What about Bob Packwood? The Republicans not only did not rally around these fellow party members, they drove them out of politics. Ilhan Omar is a walking, talking conspiracy, and the Democrats are doing all they can to shield her from the consequences of her criminal activity. Barney Frank and Gerry Studds were similarly protected by the Democrats. Hell, Democrat icon Ted Kennedy drowned a girl and the Democrat Party continued to lionize him.
