The Los Angeles Times editorial board has had enough of Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA).
“Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine) should resign from Congress so he can spend more time with his lawyers,” the Times’ editorial board wrote in a scorching editorial published on Wednesday. “He’s really going to need it.”
“Republican” and “Honorable” is a contradiction in terms.
I waiting to hear how Margret Hunter didn’t figure this out at the time? And how much did Hunter spend on “political chicanery”, and how much on family expenses.
Or, more time with his girlfriends. Although, my guess is that, despite his immense personal charm, they may not find him quite as alluring as he once was.
I guarantee you that Hunter will play the PTSD card when he goes to trial.
Stick a fork in him…he’s done
“If Hunter were an honorable man, he would have taken a leave of absence last year after being indicted and suspended his re-election campaign.”
IF!!!
Republicans should resign for infidelity?
Republicans should resign for corruption?
That’s just crazy.
I assume she initially decided that financial and political benefits of being a spouse of a corrupt congressman were sufficiently significant to overlook his infidelity. On the other hand, the desire to avoid a prison term reminded her of her own upstanding moral principles and the high expectations she had for her spouse’s moral character.
Boy, is that editorial board stupid/clueless. Hunter is a member of the Trump White Nationalists’ Party. They don’t resign or admit guilt. They just double down.
But I bet that any conversations that he has with his soon-to-be ex-wife are going to be tense.
How very Skylar White of her!
I’ve heard that most sane mothers don’t want to spend years in jail, away from their children (3).
However, if he was a\n honorable man is sort of the whole point…he is not.
Richard Nixon resigned so that no future Republican would ever have to be held accountable, or resign.
Like the line in Eric Segal’s Love Story, to which we all swooned in the 60’s, “Being Republican means never having to say you’re sorry.”
But, but- it’s all his wife’s fault.
She drove him to have to share his seed with so many other women.
“Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine) should resign from Congress so he can spend more time with his lawyers,” the Times’ editorial board wrote in a scorching editorial published on Wednesday. “He’s really going to need it.”
Not sure any lawyer is going to want to represent Duncan. The only worse client to have would be Trump.
And recorded . . .
As the DOJ lawyers are learning more and more every day.
I don’t think that is all of why Nixon resigned, more like the Republicans who followed were so traumatized that they had to make sure it could never happen again. So you push the Southern Strategy, elect a dumb actor who liked the John Birch/Goldwater BS, steal more than a few elections, including one (or two) for the president of the USA, impeach a popular D president, based on hypocritical bullshit, continue cultivating a “base” (perfect word) of ignorant, racist, and yes, deplorable humans. Of course they weren’t doing this from shock or reactive protectionism, they did it because the money powered oligarchs found them useful tools. Eisenhower warned about the idiot John Bircher rich bastards (because you don’t need to be intelligent to be rich) long ago. It took some time, but Charles Koch was very persistent in following his father’s nasty footsteps, and now we have it: the modern Republican party: Authoritarian, cruel, ignorant, stupid, racist and supremely greedy, and paternalistic, as always. And 100% owned by the stupid super rich. There’s misogyny too, and lots of it, but that has always been part of the tool kit. Oh sorry, I should just cut to the chase. Where we are right now is because of the Republican party of white, male, greedy assholes. The assholerly is remarkable. I am so tired.
