Run one single time for one single office as a Republican, yet run 8 years later as an oddball conspiracy theorist Independent for the presidential ticket with Lyndon LaRouche, and when you molest your kids, you are a prominent Republican:

A daughter of a civil rights icon who served as a top lieutenant to Martin Luther King Jr. testified Monday that her father regularly molested her beginning when she was 6 years old.

The Rev. James L. Bevel pleaded not guilty to a charge of incest before jury selection began Monday. Prosecutors have said he had sex with a teenage daughter years ago, and told her the sex was part of religious training.

The daughter testified she grew up in a communal lifestyle in which she regularly saw her father having sex with women and she came to perceive her own molestation as normal…

Bevel, 71, was a leading figure in the civil rights movement and was with King when he was assassinated 40 years ago. He also is credited with helping to conceive and organize the Million Man March.

In the 1980s, Bevel became active in Republican Party politics and unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 1984.

Ran as an independent for the Presidency in 1992 as part of a nutjob conspiracy ticket but because he ran in 1984 as a Republican and molested someone, he was active in Republican politics.  I beat RBB to it.  Surprised that he didn’t see “Republican”, “incest”, and “molest” in some meta search that he does and already post it. 

It appears that the media works about as objectively as RBB.  If you can find a way to call someone a Republican and they commit a crime, do it.
