Well of course they regret it; they lost a seat! The double standard is alive and well among the liberal left. These people are such hypocrites it is comical; a stand up could do a whole routine on the flip flops and course changes.
Show me a Democrat and I'll show you a dummy...
So those idiot Democrats are condoning his sexual misconduct
