A lot of people want to chalk this up to a rigid adherence to decorum endemic to the establishment GOP, but it's really the mainstream media who act as gatekeepers for political rhetoric. The same anchor who lets an (R) unleash a misinformation-laden tirade will balk if a (D) tells the truth.
SchooleyStill insane to me that the GOP can gin up a moral panic about innocuous things like drag queen story time while we know Democrats would be eviscerated in the press if they ever started asking what the deal is with youth pastors getting arrested every week.
