CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 26, 2022
HERE’S WHAT ANGERS SO MANY CONSERVATIVES. IT’S THE DOUBLE STANDARD APPLIED TO REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS. NOT MATTER HOW GOOD A REPUBLICAN IS, DEMOCRATS AND THEIR MEDIA ALLIES FIND WAYS TO ATTACK HIM. AND NO MATTER HOW BAD A DEMOCRAT IS, THE MEDIA AND THEIR DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES FIND WAYS TO EXCUSE HIS BEHAVIOR AND ACCUSE REPUBLICANS OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES, RACISM…OH YOU KNOW THE DRILL. FORMER SENATOR HARRY REID ADMITS LYING ABOUT MITT ROMNEY’S TAX RECORDS. INTERVIEWED ABOUT IT, HE ACKNOWLEDGES IT WAS A LIE, BUT THEN TOLD A REPORTER “IT WORKED DIDN’T IT?”
THAT CREATED A CYNICISM THAT PRODUCED A DONALD TRUMP. NO MATTER WHAT TRUMP HAS DONE, HIS DEFENDERS STAND UP FOR HIM BECAUSE THEY SEE TOO MANY DEMOCRATS STANDING UP FOR THEIR GUYS. I’M NOT SAYING IT’S RIGHT, I’M SAYING IF DEMOCRATS AND THE LEFT WERE CONSISTENT THEY MIGHT SEE MORE REPUBLICANS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MISBEHAVIOR. I GIVE YOU HUNTER BIDEN AS JUST THE LATEST EXAMPLE. HIS TIES TO PHONY BUSINESS DEALS AND ALLEGED PAYOFFS TO HIS FATHER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY CONGRESS AND NOT JUST THE NEW YORK POST. IF REPUBLICANS WIN BACK THE HOUSE, IT MIGHT PROVIDE SOME FAIRNESS TO WHAT IS AN UNEQUAL APPROACH BY THE LEFT. I’M CAL THO
