Fighting the double standard: Blackface edition

That people appeared in blackface decades ago when most people thought nothing of it is something we should be willing to forgive so long as Democrats stop attacking conservatives for similar things done decades ago.

The reality is that the Democrats have two standards; one for themselves and one for everyone else.

Democrats act as though a charge against Kavanaugh where the victim said that nothing ever happened is grounds for impeachment but when it was proven that Bill Clinton had lied under oath to avoid losing a sexual harassment case Democrats said it was nothing.

You've probably forgotten but the Democrat governor of Virginia appeared in black face or a KKK costume and Democrats are cool with it. Similarly Justin Fairfax, another Virginia Democrat, has been credibly accused of rape by two women and Democrats aren't bothered by that.

We should never allow sexual predators to get away with it but using the n word, telling a racist joke, wearing black face, decades ago shouldn't result in people being destroyed.  But so long as the Democrats destroy any conservative who does those things we need to destroy any Democrat who does those things.

In fact what really should happen is real journalists digging deep into the social media and behavior of the #FakeNews people who are constantly demanding perfection of Republicans.  If "reporters" realize that their glass houses will get shattered if they lie about Republicans or hold Republicans to a higher standard than what they live up to then perhaps we'll get less of this lie based attack journalism.
