Donald Trump Jr. responded succinctly with a &#8220;Yikes!&#8221; emphasizing the simplicity of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Sherman admitted to viewing the images but deflected duty by blaming the platform&#8217;s algorithm, controlled by Twitter (now named X) owner Elon Musk, for showing him such content without his request. He described the images as part of the &#8220;For You&#8221; feed he was scrolling through during a long flight and tried to minimize the situation by saying looking at pictures of women might be no different than admiring a sunset.<\/p>\n<p>the article criticizes Sherman&#8217;s reaction as evasive and immature, arguing that as a public figure and a married man, Sherman should take responsibility for his choices rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ben-shapiro-explains-what-americans-dont-understand-about-hamas\/\" title=\"Ben Shapiro on Americans... Misconceptions of Hamas\">blaming external factors<\/a>. It also highlights the pervasive nature of online pornography and stresses that individuals must take accountability for their actions when exposed to such content, especially in public settings.<\/p>\n<p>the piece portrays Sherman&#8217;s excuse as unconvincing and suggests it damages his credibility, concluding with a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >dismissive tone consistent<\/a> with Donald Trump Jr.&#8217;s brief reaction.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes one word says it all &mdash; and others say far too much.<\/p>\n<p>First son Donald Trump Jr.&rsquo;s response to the internet-driven tale of a California congressman caught looking at sexually suggestive pictures on an airplane is an example of the first.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic Rep.

Its impact can be devastating on individuals, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marriage.com\/advice\/physical-intimacy\/pornography-effects-on-marriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">relationships<\/a>, and children.<\/p>\n<p>Young men are particularly vulnerable &mdash; they always have been. But women <a href=\"https:\/\/wifitalents.com\/porn-viewing-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aren&rsquo;t immune<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sherman&rsquo;s response to the controversy, however, was no more appropriate than his actions in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bresreports\/status\/1989502732903022690\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted to X<\/a> by Punchbowl News founder John Bresnahan, Sherman acknowledged looking at the images &mdash; but then attempted to turn the topic from his own carnal desires and blame <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/zg-elon-musk-reassures-twitter-advertisers-in-a-virtual-town-hall-in-a-new-vision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">X owner<\/a> Elon Musk.<\/p>\n<p>Sherman said the pics came up in the &ldquo;For You&rdquo; X feed he was perusing during a long flight.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I must&rsquo;ve looked at more than 1000 posts&rdquo; during the trip, Sherman told Bresnahan.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If I see a picture of a woman, might I look at it longer than a sunset? Yeah.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He should have stopped there.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s understandable. It wasn&rsquo;t like Sherman was caught looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dem-official-lgbt-activist-arrested-child-pornography-found-hiding-attic-trying-delete-evidence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">child pornography<\/a>, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/interview-directors-of-robert-mapplethorpe-hbo-documentary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Maplethorpe<\/a> retrospective.<\/p>\n<p>What wasn&rsquo;t understandable was this:<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Is it pornography? I don&rsquo;t think Elon Musk thinks so,&rdquo; Sherman told Bresnahan.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Is it appropriate? No.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>What exactly Elon Musk has to do with the recreational choices of a 71-year-old on a long airplane flight is apparently self-evident to the Democratic lawmaker.<\/p>\n<p>But to sane Americans, that looks like a transparent dodge &mdash; something a teenager in the throes of youthful irresponsibility and hormones might come up with.<\/p>\n<p>A statement issued by Sherman&rsquo;s office was even worse:<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This was nothing more than scrolling through Twitter &mdash; and, unfortunately, Elon Musk has ruined the Twitter algorithm to give people content that they don&rsquo;t ask for or subscribe to.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Seriously? It&rsquo;s Elon Musk&rsquo;s fault that a septuagenarian man decided to put some time into ogling semi-naked women in the public space of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/video-unruly-man-subdued-after-allegedly-trying-to-enter-plane-cockpit\/\" title=\"VIDEO: &#039;Unruly&#039; Man Subdued After Allegedly Trying to Enter Plane Cockpit\">cross-country flight<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Sherman has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dem-rep-bucks-party-radicals-tells-biden-official-hamas-committed-thousands-war-crimes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">record of apparent sanity<\/a>, at least in the contemporary Democratic Party. But now, his office is insulting the intelligence of even Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>When images of every description abound &mdash; violating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-scotus-nominee-stomach-churning-record-making-excuses-child-porn-offenders-letting-off-hook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">every sense of decency<\/a> &mdash; it&rsquo;s almost inevitable that anyone connected to social media is going to end up with something on the screen, at some time, that makes the old Playboy centerfold look chaste.<\/p>\n<p>When it happens, users have choices to make. And the users are responsible for making them.<\/p>\n<p>Sherman, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm2214316\/bio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">married man<\/a>, quite clearly chose to spend his time enjoying the visual delights of attractive women in revealing clothing. If that&rsquo;s the worst thing a California Democrat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/adam-schiff-house-russian-probe-can-see-evidence-plain-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">did with his time<\/a>, the country would be a better place all around.<\/p>\n<p>Sherman could have manned up to the situation, taken his  of responsibility, and explained it all away as a moment of weakness in a situation he didn&rsquo;t control. It would have been an incredibly easy way out &mdash; not to mention probably honest.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Sherman decided to try to place the blame on someone else entirely. And then the people he apparently pays to manage his image decided to double down on the absurdity.<\/p>\n<p>This is the best a U.S. congressman of almost <a href=\"https:\/\/sherman.house.gov\/about\/about-brad-sherman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">three decades&rsquo; standing<\/a> can come up with? That it&rsquo;s Elon Musk&rsquo;s fault? Nobody&rsquo;s buying that.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s almost enough to make an observer suspect there&rsquo;s a whole lot worse going on with Rep.
