We Asked GOP Lawmakers About Their Own Nominee. They Ran Away!
Summary
The hosts critique the GOP’s double standards regarding scandalous candidates, contrasting the intense backlash against Grant Plattner with the leniency shown to Brandon Herrera, Mark Lamb, Corey Mills, and Max Miller. They detail Herrera’s vulgar remarks, Lamb’s sexual misconduct, Mills’ assault allegations, and Miller’s abuse claims. The episode highlights the lack of political consequences for these figures despite evidence often stronger than Plattner’s, attributing this to a partisan "hack gap" and media asymmetry.
