Democrats have not had to answer for the actions of Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz (who offered to change a policy position in exchange for not being criticized, and threatened to paint President Obama as anti-Semitic and anti-women). Or for the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation (which accepts foreign donations). Or for Joe Biden (who said last week he knows Somalis because “there’s an awful lot driving cabs”).

But Republicans have had to answer for Rudy Giuliani (who said Obama doesn’t love America). Why? Because, “Clearly, there is a double standard,” according to Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer.
