Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) on Tuesday acknowledged the Republican double-standard when it comes to the way they treat scandals surrounding the Trump White House and those that occurred during Democratic presidencies.
After noting that he thinks it's "important for the president to set a good example" and raising concerns about President Donald Trump's inaccurate statements about Canadian trade, Dent blasted his own party.
"[The Republicans] would be waving a bloody shirt" if President Barack Obama had a sex scandal akin to Donald Trump's, Dent said. "It would be a human rights violation."
"There's no question about it, had this been a Democratic president who had been conciliatory towards the Russians, for example," the congressman continued. "I'm sure as Republicans we'd be screaming morning to night about such a situation."
