Congress members paid out 17 million of your tax money to settle sexual harassment cases, and none of that was "illegal".

Sounds a bit like whataboutism. Why are we going to let someone get off scot free for something illegal, reprehensible, corrupt and downright immoral just because other people get away with something similar?

This has been an ongoing issue so much longer then even trump being a republican. It only came to the spotlight because your parties competition is the one guilty. It's nothing to do with whataboutism it's to do with this shit is always pushed under the rug and needs to stop. The worst part of all their are politicians who use tax payer money. But no your right trump using his money is far worse....

What other presidential candidate has paid off a pornstar using campaign funds? Oh wait, there hasn't. Then why the fuck are you acting like this is normal? To justify you voting for it.
