Allie, this is prime example of the liberal news reporting any type of dirt that can be drummed up against the GOP. Unfortunately, we are inundated with 1 sided stories directed against the conservatives while the other side of the story is never told. 
Think about it-in Hawaii we have a complete democratic/liberal based philosophy which is only supported by news coming from the dems/liberals and given information defaming any type of news or allegations against the GOP. All the while the news is skewed and fabricated against those conservative views-But, you can't see it cause we are all so immersed in our liberal views.
