Politico Editor Carrie Budoff Brown on Reliable Sources discussing the Ducklo issue indicated [View all]

that the reason they are making this a big deal was because Biden had a high standard, and sexism and misogyny should never be tolerated.

That is all fine and good, but when the editor added that trump never set such a high standard as Biden, that made me scratch my head. What was she exactly saying?

Was she saying that they really never went too hard against trump for his sexist and misogynist outbursts because he never set such a "high standard" as Biden did?

Honestly I don't know what this editor was trying to say, and I will add to that why is it considered that Biden set a high standard because he said sexism and misogyny should never be tolerated? Not tolerating sexism and misogyny is not setting a high standard, it should be the bare minimum standard
