Liberal Values Defending Liberty and Enlightened Thought

The Daily Beast compared  sex scandals by party over the past twenty years. By their count, Republicans have more, especially with underage boys, while Democrats have bigger scandals and more with underage girls.

• The number sex scandals has increased dramatically over the past few decades, thanks to technology, new press standards and a post-Clinton belief that everything is fair game.

• Republicans have more scandals (32 to 26), but Democrats have bigger ones, based on our methodology (13 out of the top 20).

• Democrats tend to have more problems with harassment, staffers and underage girls; Republicans tend to have more problems with prostitutes, hypocrisy and underage boys.
