I’m not sayin josh Duggars is a saint, he’s a total pos. it’s just the field day that the left is having catching a supposedly Christian man in his own mess. They’re displaying a total double standard here.

...the left ... (a)re displaying a total double standard here...

Not quite. Back when Clinton was president, the left had been pushing for years for better protection for women in the workplace. Once Clinton was outed as a serial harasser, suddenly sexual harassment and women's workplace issues weren't all that important. Their principals, and his predatory behavior, were less important than not agreeing with their political opponents. That's a double standard, and why it was so hypocritical on their part. In this case, people are simply holding Josh to his own professed standards, the same standards he's build his career around holding everyone else to. It's Josh's defenders who are mostly embracing a double standard, arguing that his behavior, and their principals, matter less than not agreeing with their political opponents. Clinton harassed. No one made him prey on women who needed their jobs. It was his own fault, and he was never held accountable. Josh cheated. No one made him prey on his sisters, no one made him sign up for a cheaters' website. It's his own fault, and he's being held accountable. All you're doing by complaining about the people who are shining a light on his behavior is demonstrating that you're exactly the same as all those feminists who supported Clinton no matter what he did.
