Foley is a gay man and not a pedo. He was cleared of any criminal charges because the page was over the age of 18. I thought you liberals loved all the gays. Unless they happen to be Republicans.
Let me post it again so you can attempt to defend i
In the messages, Maf54 described how years earlier, he had looked to see whether the former page had an erection in his tight white pants while the then-teenager was working near the congressman. Maf54 also speculated about the sexual attributes of other males in the same page class, including the observation that one young man was "well hung."
Nothing to defend. Foley is gay and the speculating is not a crime.
Annnnd was known to use his office as a dating service to young teens the GOP covering his ass for a decade. Nothing wrong with that.
You have him confused with Barney Franks. Of course the Republicans forced Foley to resign and Barney was honored given promotions by the Democrats.
No, Hassert was a republican I'm sure of it and he protected him along with John Boener
Here is what happened to Foley.
"On September 28, 2006, ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross reported that in 2005, Foley had sent email messages from his personal AOL account to a former Congressional page, asking the page to send a photo of himself to Foley, among other things. Foley's office confirmed that Foley had sent the messages but said it has a practice of asking for photos of individuals who may ask for recommendations and that the page had requested a recommendation.
Kirk Fordham, Chief of Staff to Tom Reynolds and former Chief of Staff to Foley, said that he was with Foley on September 29, 2006, when ABC confronted him with the explicit messages before they were publicized. Fordham then visited GOP headquarters to inform Reynolds and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert; he returned with a one-sentence resignation letter that Foley signed. Hastert and Reynolds let it be known that if Foley didn't resign, he would be expelled from the House. That same day, Foley tendered his resignation to Hastert as well as Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
Compare this to what happened to a Democrat who did have sex with a 17 year old page.
"In 1983, two lawmakers were censured by the House of Representatives for having sexual relationships with teenage pages. Rep. Dan Crane, R-Ill., admitted to sexual relations with a 17-year-old female page, while Rep. Gerry Studds, D-Mass., admitted to sexual relations with a 17-year-old male page.
On July 20, 1983, the House voted to censure Studds, by a vote of 420-3.
Studds was re-elected to the House six more times after the 1983 censure.
What Taliban supporter are you talking about?Once again, who cares? The man is completely irrelevant. He is a non factor.
He was until Trump said that his campaign invited him there because there is no other way for someone to be in the shot. Oh and dont forget Foley said they've been friends for years.
And thus makes him relevant how?
Seriously how does Foley make trump a bigger mistake? How does he make Hillary less of a monster?
Seriously, if you're not paying attention to the RW freakout about the father of the Orlando shooter sitting behind Clinton at a rally...it's nobody's fault but your own.
You're seriously trying to compare a Taliban supporter to a guy who made a few wildly inappropriate text messages?
"The father of Pulse nightclub killer Omar Mateen was spotted at a Florida Hillary Clintonrally Monday seated prominently behind the candidate.
Local NBC affiliate WPTV happened to recognize Seddique Mateen, who received widespread press for his own controversial views on Islam in the wake of his son’s murder spree. Mateen operates a radio show with a pro-Taliban slant and responded to his son’s massacre by saying, “God will punish homosexuality.”
