I think what makes me the most grumpy is hard right people will use this as a reason why we should let crooks on the right slide rather than an example of where corruptions shouldn’t be tolerated from any party.

Sen Warnock wimped out and refused to even criticize the conduct in an interview I saw today. And come on, he knows the guy, he knew he was a sleaze already.
