I'll care when I see a single democrat that protested when the Clinton foundation did this for YEARS.

Ok, not true, I think ANY pay for play sucks, even if it's Kushner or ANYONE on the republicans side. It's wrong no matter who tries/does it. Ethics committees should investigate, and chop him down if he did any favors for someone that forked over the dough.

With that said, I still find it comical, and sad, that the overwhelming majority of democrats/liberals, couldn't have given a shit that the Clinton foundation took money left and right while Hillary was in office for those folks.

I did care and it's a big reason she lost.

I'm not so sure it was a big reason, but hopefully some did avoid her for just that reason. We don't need anyone in office, from either side, doing favors for money.

I do believe you, as you're generally honest, but I don't recall you getting upset with Hillary. But the mainstream, the pundits, newscasters, other Dems - they couldn't care less.
