OK, fair, some outlets did defend Barton. The commentators didn't, however, and it still cost him his career.https://twitter.com/Politics1com/status/1187760108966535169 …

We've had multiple examples of pig-piled sex scandals on Republicans over the years in which it was seen as perfectly OK to expose what the Republican did. (As it should be!). Remember Jack Ryan, for example?

The argument being made now is that Hill should be entitled to unring the bell of the whole story by blaming the source. No Republican is granted that.

Hugh McGowan @htmcgThat scene was the undoing not only of one man's career but, indirectly, of the entire U.S. health care industry.

Dan McLaughlin added,
Jeff B. is *BOX OFFICE POISON*Verified account @EsotericCDKatie Hill should resign from Congress, and all the handwaving BS about "revenge porn" is a PR-driven smokescreen. N.B. Yes I think Trump is an egregious sexual harasser who shouldn't be President and always have, so please do not think you're clever by bringing him up to me.Show this thread4 replies 6 retweets 24 likesShow this thread -
We've been through the sex-scandal news cycle many times over the past 30+ years, with people on both sides of the aisle. It never ceases to appall me how easily folks on the left side raise broad-brush arguments they ignore when the shoe's on the other foot.

Me, I think we should apply the same standard to both sides. That's what makes it a standard.
