I think that the reaction on the right would be similar to the current reaction on the left in feeling it was wrong and crossed the line. I disagree with those on the right saying now that there should be retaliation and I don't think the right we be calling for that had it been BO or HRC. The retaliatory aspect is from the left's playbook. I think the right is wrongly reveling in reversing the roles but losing their argument in the process.
The story if the Trump era.
I've seen persuasive arguments that the only way to stop the left is to make them play by their rules (even if we think those rules are wrong)
