Where would I be if I entered the office of a US Senator under false pretenses and tried to wiretap the phone? Jail at best and gitmo if it happened to be Republican Senator I'm sure.

Where would I be if I tried to vote under false pretenses and videotaped the criminal act itself? Jail at worst. Fined up the ass at best.

Where would I be if I tried to kidnap a journalist on my parent's half assed dinghy and loaded it up with sex toys, condoms and furry handcuffs? Jail maybe. Maybe in an institution.

Where would I be if I tried to get sexual favors from my female volunteers and possibly drugging or detaining them if they refused my advances? Jail at worst and suffering disgrace at best.

This guy is pond scum and yet he continues to be supported and admired by mainstream figures on the right. It's not acceptable.
