So, the scandal isn’t that he does it, it’s that he is extremely vocally against it and legislates against it. The “gotcha” isn’t shaming him for enjoying himself, it’s scolding him for demonizing natural behavior while doing it himself.
Nobody would give a single flying fuck what he did if he minded his own goddam business.
Yeah, that’s exactly what this is about. The American Republican Party has been on a sexual purity crusade since I was a kid (they made REAL hay out of Clinton getting his knob waxed in the '90s), and they’re all about making sex dirty and controllable by the Government.

Thank you, I didn’t consider that he himself could have politicized sexuality first.
In that case it sounds more like a “rules for thee, but not for me” thing, which makes perfectly sense to point out!

It’s like that, but even worse. This fuckwit uses the culture war to stoke violence and hate. He wields it as a fascist weapon.
So it’s a bit more nefarious than simply being a hypocrite.
