Don't go there:

Consider recent history. In 2018, Republican Rep. Chris Collins of New York faced a federal criminal indictment. The congressman initially tried to back out of his re-election campaign, then reversed course, then narrowly won anyway. The same year, Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter of California also faced multiple federal charges, also ran for re-election, and was also rewarded by his constituents with another term.

Both were ultimately sentenced to prison, and both received presidential pardons from Donald Trump, who was unusually supportive of political corruption. But the larger point remains the same: These Republicans' constituents didn't much mind that their representative was under criminal indictment.

You telling me to "Don't go there?" Are you the thought police? Is that a threat? Only you can post certain things?

every time Crazy Mazie opens her mouth, we hide in shame.  It makes national news, laughing stock news, but not a peep out of the local news outlets.  How you figgah?

How does any of this disprove the democrat party is a disgrace?

It's like the pot calling the kettle black? There are probably more corrupt politicians in the Republican party. The Trump administration was the most corrupt in modern times. The good thing is that Democrat politicians that commit crimes are prosecuted. Republican politicians that commit crimes are pardoned. Just because a party has corrupt members does not make the party a disgrace. When the party ignores the corruption of it's members and even condones that corruption, it is a disgrace. The RNC classifying the 1/6 attack on our capital as a "legitimate political discourse" is a disgrace.

Democrats in power for too long...power corrupts

Sharon Har is pro 2a

I actually agree that Sharon Har should have been prosecuted and didn't understand why the chargers were dismissed. As a Democrat I would agree that we need to fix that. As a Republican do you feel you could do some house cleaning as well?

Name a Hawaii Republican in office who made the news under similar circumstances.

Better yet, name a Hawaii Republican in elected office.

Given that a Republican serving in office is as scarce as hen's teeth, there's not much cleaning required.  Corruption is at its finest when one party rules a state.  It's also apparent when one party controls the House, Senate, Judiciary and White House -- which is why the Democrats are going crazy talking about packing the Supreme Court and filling a retiring justice's vacancy before the midterm elections.

If you want to talk about cleaning house, getting rid of the one-party-lock in this state would be more productive than arguing about who's party is worse.

Does not matter. I'm sure if any of us were in the same situation we would have a DUI on our record, which can lead to loss of job, clearance, increase costs of insurance. A DUI can literally turn a person's life upside down. Lose job, can't pay mortgage, lose house. Driving without insurance is irresponsible.

We can't give her a pass just because we agree on her 2A views. We should all be treated equally. There needs to be.

Too bad she was not required to use the Public Defenders Office to obtain her counsel.

I agree with you. I was glad to hear her charges were initially dropped as she is a friend to gun owners. I do agree she acted very irresponsibly and deserves proper punishment,"equal justice under the law and in politics". I just wanted to say that just because she is a democrat doesn't mean she needs to be replaced. I do not vote for a candidate just because they are 2a friendly, although the ones that are, seem to share my views.

When the people responsible for writing and enforcing the laws break them, why should they not be held to a higher standard?  They should know better than anyone the potential outcomes from breaking those laws.
