Republicans led by Bill Bennett attacked Bill Clinton in 1998 for deceit and contempt for rule of law. Why are they outraged now at Romney instead of Trump?

In 1998, William Bennett published a book on the importance of character in American leadership and public life. Writing amid the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal, the former education secretary bemoaned the rise of “situational ethics” and the reluctance to condemn Clinton’s behavior in black-and-white terms.

“A president whose character manifests itself in patterns of reckless personal conduct, deceit, abuse of power, and contempt for the rule of law cannot be a good president,” Bennett flatly declared in "The Death of Outrage: Bill Clinton and the Assault on American Ideals."

Earlier this week, newly elected Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, published a Washington Post oped saying pretty much the same thing. "With the nation so divided, resentful, and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable," Romney wrote. "And it is in this province where the incumbent's shortfall has been most glaring."

But the incumbent now is Republican Donald Trump, of course, not Democrat Bill Clinton. And in this situation, apparently, ethics don't matter so much to Bennett and his fellow Republicans.

“Has Mitt Romney played team sports?” Bennett asked on Fox News, where he is a contributor. “Does he understand anything about the situation that his Republican colleague, Donald Trump, is in now?”

Oh the hypocrisy of these scumbags

1. Romney is totally on board for Trump's policies;

Mitt only objects to Trump's bad manners.
