Now IMO calling out a mistruth spoken by the former president, while doing it under such circumstances may not have been in Mr. Smith's best judgement ( especially not to a Dem Demigod such as the Obama), it's hardly comparable to the public pottymouth name calling by Maxine Waters lobbed at the President and his cabinet members.

So again, where is the outrage against her for such actions?
There won't be. She'll actually get lauded/applauded by the left and their media friends for "being tough" on Trump.

It's the double standard world we live in today.

Indeed.

And that's why I encourage the "left" to parade Maxine Waters as much as they can on national TV.

Sadly, I know that's true. My question was rhetorical, because I know that just as anytime the liberal double standard is pointed out, it'll at best be ignored by those of liberal bent.

It's outweighed by the conservative double standard on this forum.

Tramp lowered the bar during his campaign and hasn't stopped yet. Should she have said that? No, but sometimes there is only so much a person can take.

You said it. You need to own it. Or be a good little liberal and spew filth, then walk away, lying about having said it.

So you excuse her reprehensible behavior. Predictable.
