This could at least be relevant whataboutism if Trump were on trial for paying hush money.
“They did it, so it’s okay when we do it” is such a tired excuse from Republicans at this point. Especially when the “they did it” is so often projection.
Tiger didn’t interfere in an election.
Yes, but the story they’re pushing is that this is a hush money trial.
It’s called “Whattaboutism” and it’s straight from Russia’s playbook.
It’s not even “they did it.” It’s “someone did it.” Tiger Woods is not a Democratic political figure. Nor did he fail to properly file the payments. This is not even an apples and oranges comparison. Those are at least both fruits. This is more like an apples to rat comparison. Not both fruits but technically both are edible.
So glad I didn’t vote for him as president then! 🙄
They’d still find some bullshit reason to downplay it, but I really think we should stop referring to this election interference trial as a hush money trial.
Even if Lindsey Graham was right about everything he said, and of course he’s not, then at worst we would have a situation where Tiger Woods is suspected of tax fraud. If so, great. File charges against him. File charges against all rich people who commit tax fraud.
It’s a nice dream, isn’t it? But Lindsey Graham can’t even imagine it.
Paying someone to sign an NDA is not illegal. Using your attorney to obfuscate the payment using campaign funds, while evading taxes, in order to influence an election is illegal.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, Lindsey. Didn’t your mama teach you that?
Also, Woods wasn’t illegally smuggling it through his campaign funds
I mean, Trump wasn’t either. That’s the issue with the payment – the campaign could have paid for it or Trump could have paid for it and reported it as a contribution to the campaign. Instead the catch and kill program was designed to keep these incidents off the campaign’s books.
Nope. She probably beat his ass.
The classic president tiger woods defense…
Tiger Woods never ran for office so this comparison is hogwash.
Yeah Lindsey can’t think of anyone, least of all anyone he may know better, who regularly pays hush money.
