If it’s OK to give political influence to a wife, why is it not OK to give it to a daughter? Or a son-in-law? If it’s OK to have a foundation that benefits from your political power, then why is it not OK to have a company that does it?
This is why I kept harping that Hillary’s greatest disadvantage was getting into politics as a wife. That’s why I keep saying that Michelle Obama should never run for office. Once you populate the seats of power with wives and their foundations, all sorts of relatives with their business entities will follow.
We don’t have a high moral ground here to object to all of these Ivankas-Melankas and their extended families polluting the political process. We participated eagerly when it was convenient.
