“Why would you even get into bestiality?” he asked. “We’re not into bestiality,” said Patel.
In a further exchange, Patel explained to Senator John Kennedy, the Louisiana Republican, that previously, regulations had barred anyone who engaged in bestiality “on either side of it.”
“Either side of what, the bestiality?” asked Kennedy. “So you disqualified the animal?”
“We have great canines, but we’re not going to disqualify them,” said Patel.
Even if they had legitimate reason for the remove the bestiality rules, what about soliciting sex? Surely theres no defense for that?
Prostitution is not a crime in every city, nor is it universally unethical. It’s entirely possible to have a navy boy who solicited prostitutes in Amsterdam find himself disqualified from federal work.
What I’m saying is context matters.
