A moral double standard

This is a tale of two presidents.

The first is Bill Clinton, who was excoriated by conservative media outlets and GOP congressional leaders when several women charged him with sexual misconduct. President Bill Clinton was eventually impeached for lying.

The second is President Donald Trump, who seems bent on destroying the reputation of our justice system and has consistently lied and been guilty of vulgar and boorish behavior, Nineteen women have also accused the president of sexual misconduct.

Strangely, this behavior does not seem to matter to his sycophants in the conservative media and judging from the silence, most religious leaders on the right.

I guess that if there is an R behind the president's name that lying, vulgar and boorish behavior is perfectly acceptable to many on the right.
