Please note that it was the top Democrat calling for this rep’s removal. Democrats aren’t inherently better than Republicans, they just take out their own garbage.

With a case such as this it's impossible not to. This is nothing to brag about

Maybe. Can you think of any recent examples of similar situation with a Republican in the crosshairs, where they weren't condemned by their own party?

When they were NOT condemned? I mean...how about the guy running for president again? Take your pick of offenses: January 6th, openly admitting to sexual assult on camera, illegally using campaign money to pay off a porn star he was having an affair with, taking classified documents to his private estate (essentially a far worse version of the same crime he was saying Clinton should go to jail for). Not to mention the Trump organization was literally just found guilty of multiple charges of criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records YESTERDAY. Not sure I've heard a single member of the GOP speak on that. Is that a good example? How about the Matt Gaetz underage sex trafficking situation? Anyone have anything to say on that? Last I checked that scumbag still had a job. I'd suggest you check out the link below. It's the most detailed record that exists re: recent violations and complaints against US political figures, the findings of any investigations and the outcomes. Comb through this for a few minutes and it'll become pretty clear which party gets in actual trouble and which party let's stuff slide.

Plenty of Republicans have objected to numerous things Trump has done. I was asking for examples where Republicans have NOT objected to objectively bad things.

This is a goalpost shift. The post is about a call to resign, you mentioned a condemnation, and now it's just "any objection at all"

I was being generous by using general terms, but if you want to make it truly apples to apples, fine.

What Republican politician has committed stalking and DV, and not had other Republicans call for them to step down?

Walker sure did get a lot of votes and support. Wanna start there?

As far as I can tell, all of the accusations levied against Herschel Walker were from the past.

The accusations against Stacie are from while she is in office. Not remotely comparable.

Oh yeah sorry i forgot we had to find you an instance where a republican did something bad at the exact hour and minute into their term that a Democrat did something, in order for it to be even remotely comparable. Yes this senator who is the same height, weight, age, and hair style did a bad thing just like another senator who was the same height, weight, age, and hairstyle. Do you ever get tired of smelling your own asshole, what with your head shoved up it all the time?

Well, there were all those republicans who tried to interrupt the electoral college counting of the 2020 presidential election… that was pretty good.

That's not even apples and oranges, that's apples and romaine lettuce.

You may have missed the "similar situation" part I mentioned.

Criminal activity indicating lack of judicial ability in both cases. You think the one wasn’t as bad because more idiots did it?

Steve King was stripped of his committee seats and then primaried by a Republican challenger and voted out by the Republican voters in his state. That's the first one that came to mind when you asked for a similar situation, but it was for saying wrong things, not for committing actual crimes.

R voters holding one of their politicians to a higher standard, since there were no crimes.
