And that is...
In contrast, I think, to how Republicans have treated similar allegations, whether it is Gonzalez, who was one of the more recent ones, a congressman who the staffer who he'd been having the affair with killed herself.
And then lots of other things came out about him.
Republicans weren't out there calling for his ouster.

And I'm like...
