If you read the article and acknowledge the context that the two words were used you’ll see it is very favorable to the Republicans and not so much for the Democrats.
The Readers Digest version is the Awans 44 employers were all Democrats and all 44 Democrats refused to answer any questions and all 44 Democrats are not helping in the investigation - meanwhile, Republican investigators said that this can never happen again ... etc.
I don’t see a problem with how the Democrats and Republicans were used .... you?
Thanks for your comments. I agree that the article is favorable to the Republicans, but the main stream media will never report it like that, nor probably even cover it. How these 44 Democrats can get away with not cooperating with an investigation, and not get penalized for it is beyond me. They created the mess, and now pretend it didn’t happen on their watch.
