    Where exactly are we holding Demecrats to a higher standard?

    One thing I actually noticed reading news and reading articles in politics is that almost everyone who could criticize Trump did it, even for free.

    Artists did it, journalists did it, scientists did it, actors did it and even normal people did it.

    Where is the higher standard you are talking about?

    You are basically are asking for people to not talk about corruption at this stage.

      There’s criticizing, and then there’s running a business and using your office to increase its profits, holding your ally’s defense supplies hostage if they don’t help you politically, claiming an election was stolen and inciting a riot over it, holding (and refusing to return) documents to which he has zero personal ownership, appointing your family to high-level jobs in your orbit…

      Seriously, you thought this was just about criticism?
