Yeah what about that other thing? We should be talking about that other thing instead of this thing.
It's relevant when there is a list of spouses of politicians who have been investigated or suspected ofr crimes and the topic is the spouse of a Congressman. What are these charges compared to allegations against Elijah Cummings's wife?
In Oregon for example, the local media sat on evidence of numerous crimes by Gov. Kitzhaber and his fiancée until after he won a close reelection so that Kate Brown, even more progressive than him, would be appointed and then the incumbent in a special election.
We have a very clear double standard. Bernie Sanders's wife was clearly guilty of numerous crimes and was let off the hook for political reasons not optional for Hunter's spouse. It's something never brought in Bernie's interviews as well.
