Several of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s staffers have accused him of taking bribes and abusing his office. With bipartisan support, the Texas House of Representatives impeached him last May on allegations of giving preferential treatment to a political donor who bribed him, misapplying public resources, making false statements against whistleblowers, obstructing justice in the securities fraud trial against him, and making false statements regarding his financial interests.
The state Senate acquitted him.
Has the National Republican Party called for him to resign? No. People like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have defended him.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has taken millions of dollars worth of free trips from a conservative sugar daddy who also paid for his nephew’s education and bought his mama’s house while also allowing her to continue living in it (probably rent-free). Clarence failed to report most if not all of this.
Are Republicans calling for his resignation or at least demanding that he stop taking bribes? No.
Congressman George Santos is a proven pathological liar and is now under indictment on 13 criminal charges including wire fraud and theft of public funds. Have Republicans called for his resignation? No.
Donald Trump has been indicted in four jurisdictions totaling 91 criminal charges over trying to steal the 2020 election, using fake electors, ordering White nationalist terrorists to attack Congress, stealing classified documents, obstructing justice, and lying on financial forms about hush money to a porn star. Have Republicans called for him to end his presidential campaign? No, and he’s currently the front-runner.
New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez has been indicted on allegations he accepted bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, and a Mercedes Benz given to his wife. Have Democrats called for his resignation? Yes, many have, and hopefully, more to come.
There has always been corruption in politics but look at how each party treats it when the accused, or guilty person, is one of their own.
