The double standard and the unmentioned elephant in the room [View all]

Kyle Clark is a Denver anchor who was just interviewed by Rachel Maddow, because he delivered a short editorial on how we call out a public official who makes "one vile statement", but where people like Lauren Boebert make them routinely, we do not. Rachel thought he made a great point.

But no one mentioned (unless it was said while I was typing and I didn't listen carefully enough) that the people making these statements routinely are invariably REPUBLICANS. I can't think of any Democrat who has done so recently or over the time that I have paid attention to politics.
