I'm not defending either one of these guys but the double-standard is massive, and as such has a large role in this "discussion" that everyone has been claiming to want.

One is a very public position of entertainment. Relies solely on the general public spending their disposable money on tickets and merch. To keep someone in that position when allegations like this arise is suicide.
The other, we actually get to decide. As a country. You vote. There is no amount of public outrage that will change any sort of “income” the gov receives as a result... these are not the same thing. They are both equally gross, and I’m disappointed as all hell that this dense crook is running the country. But the two are not comparable in how the situation is resolved.
