That tweet starts a thread of tweets that I think is a good read for both sides, even though it is directed at his fellow conservatives. It focuses on behavior that both sides of the aisle have been exhibiting.

I don't agree that "both sides" have somehow been equally accepting of bad behavior if no laws are broken. People may have to say that in hopes of getting a hearing. 

Benghazi was pure and simple a false scandal. No cover up. Hillary was not telling lies which were only technically legal. When that fishing expedition discovered Hillary's private email server, she paid a steep price for it. And holding that up as an example of Democrats being ok with any unethical behavior so long as its not illegal or not technically lying does not signal a desire to restore accuracy and responsibility in political discourse. It is one Republican who is really unable to admit what's going on in his party unless he can believe (or at least claim) the other party has been just as bad, doing the same thing.
