Contrast that with Democrats’ reaction to their own side’s misconduct in Virginia. Democrats should not complain about the glaring double standard. They should embrace it and revel in their own party’s willingness to hold its side to a standard of decency, candor and faithfulness to the law. Voters have registered their disapproval of Trump, deplored his dishonesty and punished Republicans at the polls in the midterms. When Democratic supporters and activists tell pols not to criticize their own because “Republicans don’t hold their side accountable!” Democrats should be proud to respond: Darn right.
