Whenever Donald Trump is accused of something, he responds by accusing his opponent of that exact thing. The idea is less to argue that Mr. Trump is clean than to suggest that everyone else is dirty.
I’ll get modded down for this (lemmy hates discussion) but I’ve seen many liberals doing the same thing. Often saying “what they are doing is terrible, we should do the same thing because they’re doing it!” You’ll likely even see people replying to me trying to justify this. Partisanship is a hell of a drug.
The difference here is that it’s a former president and presidential hopeful saying/doing this not some twenty-something on lemmy. Party leadership should definitely know better and be held to higher standards.
