I think you’re missing the point. It’s one thing to use your parents’ influence to get ahead in business, but it’s another thing entirely to use their influence to withhold international aid and pressure a foreign government to kill a corruption investigation into the company that you just so happen to sit on the board of. Granted, these are all just allegations at this point, but that’s why this case is receiving so much attention.

 

I find it wild that it had to be reversed in the first place, but I’m proud of the Californians who applied pressure to reverse this decision. Personally, I think people need to seriously reevaluate the person who represents them if they only vote along party lines, even if it’s to the detriment of their own constituents
