So now politicians are responsible for everything their contributors say and do? Is that all of them? Or just GOP members?
If it applies to democrats, there is plenty to answer for.

Look at the context of this. DeSantis , right after his primary victory made a racist statement. Now one of his team members does the same thing. It looks like he is surrounding himself with the same element . A pattern is revealing itself.. A person is often judged by the company they keep. We never know everything about a candidate and have to determine the best choice by numerous snippets of info about them.
Some will have no problem with racism and even look at it as a positive. Other people will regard it differently. I see a senator as a person who should have superior intelligence and judgement. They are responsible for acting for everyone in their state.Perhaps what DeSantis and his team say indicate how they will use their position.
This applies to any candidate in either party in my opinion.

'DeSantis denied that race had anything to do with his comments, but instead argued he was focusing on "ideas and principles."'
'Politico on Thursday reported that Steven Alembik, who has donated more than $20,000 to DeSantis, called Obama the n-word and a Muslim in a since-deleted tweet.“We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: we adamantly denounce this sort of disgusting rhetoric,” DeSantis campaign spokesman Stephen Lawson told Politico in a statement. '
'Alembik insisted that neither he nor DeSantis are racist and said he wrote the tweet in anger. '
'His comments prompted an immediate backlash, with critics suggesting the remarks had racial undertones or were outright racist. '
'The phone recording features a man pretending to be Gillum speaking in an exaggerated accent as jungle noises play in the background. '
This has been an automated message.
