Why Do Sex Scandals Destroy Democrats But Not Republicans?

[jp11]

11. The media won't go after republicans the same way they go after democrats.

The are directed not to, fear the conservative victim mentality whenever you say bad things about them, etc.

Then many democrats in my opinion are more than happy to through people under the bus at the drop of a hat to not deal with any distractions to being elected, winning, or trying (poorly) to combat the conservative narrative that is just about everywhere in our media. Some may even take a holier than thou POV to any misconduct which is pretty funny since the democratic party isn't the one favored by the religious groups.

Republicans running on the family values ticket and pushing morality through religion etc which almost never includes the 'true' good morality of Jesus ie taking care of the poor, sick, the golden rule, etc are far from that. Republican voters back hate filled judgemental candidates and support their party that pushes legislation that hurts the largest number of people and those least able to bear that burden while helping the minority rich at nearly every turn. As for scandals they yell loud at any criticism from the media of sex scandals about the media bias and the media cowers if they even covered the issue. Their voters don't care if their people are flawed even to an extreme hell why would they when they elect people who work against their very own interests?

Too many democrats seem to expect democratic/progressive/liberal politicians to be perfect super heroes and won't forgive them any misstep, mistake, blunder. A large part of that is the unfair and disproportionate coverage democratic scandals/mistakes get compared to republicans but it still takes the public to agree and not 'forgive' the people involved to ruin them. It certainly doesn't help those in trouble to have members of their own party tossing them under the bus, often because standing up for them makes them a target for the unfair conservative narrative of the democrats screwing up, being immoral, untrustworthy, etc.
