But the entire episode is merely an example of something much bigger and much worse.
The Left has excused purjury, sexual assault, rape, forgery, lying, and deceit, has announced repeatedly that character is of no importance, and its operatives have attempted, perhaps successfully, to disenfranchise American service personnel serving abroad in combat.
Those of Left excuse and rationalize immorality and depravity with inconsistent, shallow explanations, designed to support their agenda, their positions of power, their comfort and benefits, or even their sense of control;
However, all of this clearly reveals a moral disintegration of the Left--and not just the American Left, the Left of the entire Western World.
A large part of Western Civilization has succumbed to a moral confusion and depravity that threatens the existence of the West and is an integral part of the decadence that has gripped the West. The depravity of the American Left is part of this decadence.
Whether or not the West will recover from this decadence remains to be seen.

C-Span was a crack in the MSM dam, too...until the democrats realized people were actually tuning in and making their voices heard. So many people made a difference. All those 5 A.M. talk radio shows, where conservative hosts vented...the station managers probably thought nobody was listening. Were they ever wrong. (We have to thank AlGore for the internet, although if he'd known how things would turn out, he wouldn't have invented it.) FR, the Swift Boat vets, ordinary Americans who'd had a bellyful of Clinton and his ilk.
