by Rod Williams, July 20, 2026 - I am dismayed that most Republicans no longer think character is important in an elected official. Trump's sexual assaults and his corruption and close friendship with Jeremy Epstein just don't concern most Republicans. I think policy aside, character is important. The same voters who were morally outraged about Bill Clinton's behavior are accepting of Donald Trump's behavior. Democrats are no better. They only "believe the women" when it is the opposition that has a scandal. Unfortunately, it seems Democrats and Republicans are in a race to the bottom. Dems turned on Graham Platner only after he was credibly accused of rape, when it was clear he was a person who lacked character before that allegation surfaced.
Below is a video featuring Sara Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, and New York Times columnist and attorney David French. They explore the topic of character in some detail. When is winning worth sacrificing your values to achieve? When you sacrifice your values for expedience, do you become the thing you hate? This is thought-provoking. If you watch the video, I welcome your thoughts.
