They keep making the mistake of comparing Trump’s crimes to Clinton

Chris Wallace nails Ken Starr: “When you compare this to the Clinton impeachment…whether the President lied under oath about sex, the allegation that Trump conditioned support for a key foreign policy ally on a political benefit to him, strikes me as not narrow but far broader” pic.twitter.com/eBOjzMw9s0— Jesse Lee (@JesseCharlesLee) December 9, 2019
Yeah, no kidding.
GOP Counsel Castor repeatedly went back to the Clinton impeachment which I think is a very weird thing for them to do. It just reminds everyone that the Republicans once impeached a president over a lie about a consensual (but improper) affair in a civil deposition for a case that was dismissed by the judge. You simply cannot compare that with what Trump has done.
I guess it doesn’t matter to their cult followers but some of them are watching the hearings unfold on Fox and they are hearing Chris Wallace make this point. Most will just reject Wallace, of course. But there may be a few who start to feel experience some dissonance over this whole thing.
Here’s a little shot of GOP crazy followed by a little cleansing chaser:
