Reaction Rolls in as Republicans Say They'll Vote No on Jackson

7. Who's soft on crime?

Republicans are always accusing Democrats of being soft on crime. But which party consistently overlooks sexual misconduct/crimes committed by members of that party? Note that Al Franken (who committed no assault, only hugs and comic gags), Andrew Cuomo and John Conyers resigned, while Donald Trump, Matt Gaetz and Brett Kavanaugh were never asked to go. One of them was even appointed to the US Supreme Court, where he’s now a sitting Justice! Of note, another sitting Justice of the US Supreme Court, a Republican,
is now embroiled in a political scandal involving his wife and attempts to overthrow a legitimate Presidential election. And Republicans failed to impeach Donald Trump for his multiple and documented crimes against our country, while he was US President.

I do wish Democrats would prosecute Republicans for their crimes while in office, though. George W. Bush and his administration got away with lying to the world to initiate a war in Iraq, the results of which have been catastrophic. And Donald Trump, the most corrupt US President in history, committed countless crimes while in office. No charges have been filed against him as of yet. If politicians aren’t held accountable for their crimes, the crimes escalate in severity. I don’t hear any Republicans demanding that Donald Trump be prosecuted for his crimes.
