Trashing McCain - Trump vs. Franken

When Donald Trump trash talks Senator John McCain, somehow that's "over the top".

But if Al Franken does it, no big deal:

Fifteen years ago, Al Franken took a dig at John McCain for being captured during the Vietnam War.

“I have tremendous respect for McCain but I don’t buy the war hero thing,” Franken wrote in an essay about the 2000 elections. “Anybody can be captured. I thought the idea was to capture them. As far as I’m concerned he sat out the war.”

Granted, the comments came 15 years apart. But have things really changed? Then as now, Dems get a free pass, while Repubs get heightened scrutiny.

We have a very flawed "electoral" process, and a very biased MSM.
