The guardian reports on a sobering event in Washington DC.
US police have arrested a man wielding an assault rifle who entered a pizza restaurant that was the target of fake news reports it was operating a child abuse ring led by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her top campaign aide.
[...] The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries.
[...] [Police] said the suspect during an interview with investigators revealed that he came to the establishment to "self-investigate" Pizzagate, the police statement said. Pizzagate is a baseless conspiracy, which falsely claims Clinton and her campaign chief John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the restaurant's backrooms.

why is it that it was mostly republicans that got outed (toe tapping, or very conservative priests and so on), and that the democrats get... anthony wiener, who seems to be straight? He sure screwed himself up, but he doesnt stay in the news for more than a few weeks per incident.
Do democrats in elected office just like lots of normal sex? I guess that's why it doesnt make quite the same headlines as a total anti-gay guy getting caught with an escort with expenses paid by the republican party.

There was a motive to out publicly homophobic and privately homosexual Republicans that didn't exist in the case of most Democrats.
Now Republicans are forced to be privately homophobic and the issue is considered settled.
