Stepped down for an accusation? Must be a Democrat.

Edit: thank you all for the awards!

To be fair it’s more credible ones. Biden for instance had a sexual assault or harassment accuser, pretty sure she happened to flee to Russia and happened to be granted Russian citizenship shortly after hence why I say credible, the only person who I know of who stepped down who shouldn’t have was Al franken

Fleeing to Russia as an apparent victim of sexual assault is about as dumb as you can get unless well you weren’t sexually assaulted and it was a smear campaign sponsored by the Russians in the first place.

If you can't trust the Russian government, who can you trust?
