If a dem did this, the rethuglican hypocrites would be baying for blood...

Rep. Jim Renacci, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate from Ohio, thought it would be a good idea to meet with religious leaders. To get there, he hopped on a plane owned by one of his campaign volunteers… who also happens to own a strip club.


Talk about bad optics…


To be sure, what Renacci did wasn’t illegal. But when you’re a Republican in a tough race, potentially upsetting religious voters is a horrible campaign strategy.

That's true, but only because they know the democratic party will respond to the criticism.

Wut? He really thinks religious voters won't follow the directives of their tax-avoiding religious "leaders"? Or that said leaders would turn their backs on their best chance to continue to lavish tax-free riches upon themselves?
