Maybe IOKIYAR* is "shameless hypocrisy" by another name

 * = "It's OK If You're A Republican"

I think it is, but rarely are Republicans (quite) so open about embracing it.

From Arizona Capitol Times, written by Howard Fischer of Capitol Media Services, dated 5/19 (emphasis added by me) -

Senate solidifies National Guard leadership despite concerns 

over combat experience

The state Senate voted Monday to confirm Gov. Katie Hobbs’ appointee to head the Arizona National Guard.

The approval came despite objections from Sen. Wendy Rogers, a veteran, who pointed out that John Conley has no combat experience. In fact, the Flagstaff Republican said, he’s never actually commanded any troops anywhere.

Rogers did not dispute that Kerry Muehlenbeck, Conley’s predecessor, was also a lawyer, just like Conley, and also had never led combat troops.

But she said that might have been fine, not only when Ducey appointed Muehlenbeck in 2021 but last year when Hobbs tapped Conley to replace her. Now, she said, everything has changed.

“We’re at war now,” Rogers said.

Now Rogers wishes to use Cheeto's War to Distract from the Epstein Files to justify her giving a free pass to someone appointed by a Republican?

Evidently, Rogers is a multitasker who not only believes that IOKIYAR justifies holding someone appointed by a Democrat to a different standard than someone appointed by a Republican, it should be used to protect pedophilia and the concealment of the same.
