Duncan Hunter (R-CA) of the California House is accused of misuse of campaign funds. The Republican Party didn't plan on having to defend this seat and may abandon it for low-hanging fruit elsewhere. This is one of two California House seats (national) that have popped-up as vulnerable. Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) was charged with insider trading several weeks ago.
Here's the part that gets me: โIn our country, individuals are presumed innocent until a jury of their peers convict them,โ said California Republican Party Chairman Jim Brulte. โThe congressman and his wife have a constitutional promise to their day in court and we will not prejudge the outcome.โ
Seems like we're constantly having to remind Americans that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. What does that say about the MSM pushing citizens to pre-judge criminalityโon both sides?
