The Federalist: Why A President’s Character Should Still Matter

Erick Erickson is right that Republicans who support Donald Trump owe Bill Clinton an apology. Talk about hypocrisy.

By Cheryl Magness MAY 23, 2016

The prevailing comeback to those who question Donald Trump’s moral fitness for the office he seeks is something along the lines of, “We’re electing a president, not a pastor.” Laura Ingraham is a case in point.

 

My, how far we’ve come. There was a time conservatives were routinely accused of being hypocrites because they dared to uphold “traditional” values such as staying married and not having casual sex while sometimes not living out those values in their own lives. Now it seems many conservatives are dismissing the requirement that their candidates give even lip service to traditional morality, and defending doing so on the basis that such quaint ideas as virtue don’t matter when the country is falling apart.

 

Erick Erickson is right that Republicans who support Trump owe Bill Clinton an apology. Talk about hypocrisy. The cognitive dissonance is deafening, and the irony tragic.
