A funny thing happens when the White House trades hands from a Republican to a Democrat: Scandals that were once scandals are no longer scandals. The inverse is true as well: Scandals that weren’t scandals for a Democrat become scandals for a Republican.
Consider, for example, the lack of coverage this past week for the on-the-record statements by family members of U.S. servicemen killed in the suicide-bombing attack at the Kabul airport during the Afghanistan withdrawal. These Gold Star family members spoke at a congressional forum arranged by Representative Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), held at the Escondido City Hall near Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base in Southern California.
