The 'nepotism' is that she hired her husband as an assistant to her office, against the rules.

Which I mean, agreed, not totally ideal, but not a big deal. Meanwhile America almost has three consecutive generations of Bush as president of your country, followed by a husband-wife duo. All mentions of America being a 'free democracy' will be labelled as having nepotistic issues too, right?
