I don’t want to insult anybody’s intelligence, but still feel compelled to state the obvious: If U.S. congressional members are forced to resign by sexual harassment charges, what about our president?
Congressional Democrats have generally been willing to force resignations, including those of their own offending party members. But considerably more pressure is required by congressional Republicans to effect the president’s resignation. Unfortunately, as pointed out in a prominent Eastern Washington newspaper’s editorial, there is a double standard among most congressional Republicans: offending Democrats should resign but not Republicans. Once again, congressional Republicans choose political gain over ethics and morality.
The good news is that we can change all this by electing Democrats to replace Republicans in Congress in 2018.
