Article here. Excerpt:

'Presidential candidate Kamala Harris has come out swinging for “throuple” Rep. Katie Hill — saying her intense “public shaming” highlights a double standard for female politicians.

Sen. Harris told Buzzfeed News that Hill, a close political ally, was the victim of a “campaign of harassment and intimidation” and “cyber exploitation” after naked photos of her were released to the media.

“It was clearly meant to embarrass her,” Harris told the outlet.

“There’s so much that people do about women and their sexuality that’s about shaming them.”

“It just sends a signal to other women that’s discouraging them from running for office.”'

... the bong-smoking photo, too.

She's a total hypocrite. THAT is why she needed to resign.

Here we go again with caterwauling about a supposed "double standard." Does she really think that the private lives of male politicians are not subject to such scrutiny? If there's any double standard, it's this: men are not given similar license to whine or to wrap themselves in perpetual victimhood.
