The cons sneer right in the face of any notion that they be held to any standard.

They laugh that everyone to the left of Newt Gingrich is held to standards - they view that gate-keeping as weakness, because THEY will feel absolutely no shame whatsoever about being flaming hypocrites and constantly engaging in logical fallacies, bad faith, etc…

Obviously, they will be right there, along with all the Elevated Centrist and liberal scolds, whenever a Democrat is found to not be as pure as the driven snow, or when a Democrat says something that has been debunked, etc. They will not apply that standard to Republicans.
