Reply to comment by RedditIsPointlesss in Pa. state Rep. Mike Zabel will resign after facing accusations of sexual harassment by RedditIsPointlesss

Just to be clear. I don't think he should have kept his seat. I just think Republicans should be held to the same standard.

I get what you're saying. I feel that since Republicans always seem to just spit in the face of any actual pushback, it's high time Democrats do the same. His colleagues weren't calling for him to resign and allegations are not proof.

Or, wild idea, we start holding all of our politicians and elected officials to a higher standard.

Lets not lower the bar "because they're doing it too". That's elementary school playground talk.

Unrealistic if we forget that other countries rank lower on the corruption index than us
