CNN: Dems' 'Zero Tolerance' Policy Coming Back to Bite Them in Virginia

It was all fun and games for Dems when Brett Kavanaugh was in the barrel. But now that allegations of sexual misconduct and racial insensitivity threaten to take down Virginia's Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General, and even—horror of horrors—elevate a Republican to the governorship, the Dem thrill is gone.
CNN's New Day was surprisingly tough on the Dems this morning. Washington Post reporter Toluse Olorunnipa began by offering an unsparing assessment of the Dem predicament. Olorunnipa said that Democrats run "the risk of being seen as hypocrites" if they don't apply to Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and Attorney General Mark Herring the same "zero tolerance" standard they applied to others.
Amazingly, substitute host Poppy Harlow, co-host John Berman and even Jackie Kucinich of the Daily Beast expressed similar sentiments.

Don’t know what got into CNN this morning, but they were going after the Dems pretty hard, accusing them of hypocrisy, etc. on their handling of Fairfax compared to the way they treated Kavanaugh, etc.

The left consists of nothing but filthy hypocrites. They all need to be tarred with the same brush they use on normal people.

The Dems are going to be really really really really mad at them and seriously, no, seriously disappointed in them, but remove all three from office and hand the state to the Republican in line?
No, we all make mistakes and it's suddenly time for healing and learning.
