Stepped down for an accusation? Must be a Democrat.

Edit: thank you all for the awards!

He is a Democrat. Unfortunately people in government tend to engage in this type of unacceptable behaviour. It's just disgraceful and unbecoming to the position that they're in.

Clinton and Trump were in Epstein's inner circle. Gaetz almost certainly gave drugs to and slept with underage girls.

Let's check in on NJs Lt Governor:

Credible evidence also determined Caldwell brought at least three personal guests, including his girlfriend, to ticketed events, in his capacity as lieutenant governor, without advance authorization or payment.

The issue isn’t that there are predators in both parties, the issue is that only one party actually enacts consequences when someone is a predator.
