(58,785 posts)22. Add me then, but please don't. Same standard for everyone.
I'm assuming a Republican candidate and then congressman having affairs with relatively very vulnerable underlings, whose hopeful careers could depend on maintaining a very good relationship with him (and probably be affected in some way no matter what), would not get a pass from most here. THAT's why she resigned. Note that behaviors that merely raise a question of possible ethical lapses are violations of standards, unethical all by themselves.
She self victimized. These standards aren't just for Republican men in office and business. She really was supposed to behave ethically and didn't.

She's looking right at the camera while nude and holding a bong in one of the pics.
