An interesting exchange between Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) and NBC’s Chuck Todd on Meet the Press:
Save to FavoritesSANFORD: We all know the story of 2009 and my implosion.
TODD: Yes.
SANFORD: A lie was told on my half — behalf, which means I own it. More to the point, I was living a lie in that chapter of life.
TODD: Yes.
SANFORD: But there were incredible consequences.
TODD: Yes, there were.
SANFORD: Financially, politically, socially, I lost my — I can go down a long list. A long list.
TODD: You paid a price…
SANFORD: And so maybe the reason I’m so outspoken on this now is there is no seeming consequence to the president and lies. And if we accept that as a society, it is going to have incredibly harmful consequences in the way that we operate going forward, based on the construct of the Founding Fathers.
