Why does Kamala Harris have to be perfect and squeaky clean and jump through hoops, but Donald Trump can be a law breaking scumbag?
Asking as a non-US person who has been there.
Remember when Obama had that mate who was a preacher who made a bunch of racist comments years before Obama was even president?Because Trump has behaved like a dirtbag so many times and for so long that people are just normalised to him being a wrongun whereas Harris still has to behave how normal politicians behave.
