This sort of thing is party dependent. If the allegations are against any Republican candidate then, sure, the press will turn that person into a reprobate. And any woman working for that person will be interviewed to death and challenged mercilessly.
But the rules are not the same if the offender is a Democrat. For Biden, after all, the event(s) happened MANY years ago. He was a different person back then. And most important, unlike with any Republican you can name, Biden is sensitive to a woman’s right to choose. So Biden must be cut some slack, if not forgiven outright. And any woman seeking to work with, dare I say “beneath”, Biden can be excused by the press and not challenged as she would be were Biden a Republican.
It’s the old double standard, alive and well in 2020 pandemic-infested America.
