The other side, for all its many faults, is not.

One side, for example, let me give you a very current pertinent example.

Graham Plattner, who is a Democratic candidate in Maine, as we speak, I don't know, by the time we finish taping, he may have pulled out of the race.

He's the Democratic nominee for the Senate in the crucial swing state of Maine, a state that could go Democratic in November.

It could be the key state that gives Democrats the Senate.

He has been credibly accused now of sexual assault.

Every prominent Democrat, including top former supporters of him, have come out and said he must stand down from the race.

He probably will stand down from the race.

It's a matter of when, not if.

That doesn't happen on the Republican side.

On the Republican side, the president of the United States was elected after being found liable for sexual abuse by a jury of his peers in a civil trial in New York City.

And yet he was elected for a second term.

So this both sides bullshit is really causing a lot of problems when it comes to America.

And corruption, by the way, just one last thing on corruption.

I think it's partly the both sides.

And the other reason Alistair Trump gets away with this is because he cultivated this image as a corrupt dude to begin with.

So a lot of people kind of price it in.

They say, well, that's who he is.

That's who Trump is.

You often hear that's the best defense from his supporters.
