This is the problem though. Even though he's caught dead-to-rights with tape of his actual voice admitting that he knew it was illegal, these assholes still think he did nothing wrong and call it all politically motivated. It's sad what Trump's dipshittery is doing/has done to this country.
EDIT: grammar
The false equivalency has really taken root. There's zero in common between the two cases, and yet it's such a convenient excuse for right-wingers to fall back on when they're challenged on their support for Trump.
Exactly. Mike Pence and at least one other also, except that theirs was accidental and they are fully cooperating with the investigations. It doesn't seem to matter how much or how blatantly Trump does illegal shit, he'll always be right in their eyes. I guess that's what happens when the only information sources you believe are also the largest purveyors of untruths on our planet.
There's that, absolutely, but I also think a lot of folks making the argument that Biden did it too don't actually believe the argument — it's just empty words they can use to shift the argument away from Trump.
