I know we have a primary where the forces of good are pitted against the forces of evil to be the nominee of the Democratic party(over on the other side, I am not so sure they have forces of good).
But the former Republican Speaker of the House has been accused of molesting 4-5 teenage boys while he was a teacher and paying hush money to keep the victims quiet.
Who kept this quiet over the decades? How did the Republican party decide this guy was a fit replace for the already low standards they had set with Gingrich and Livingston?
I suppose if you’re the former speaker of the house and you a history of molesting teenage boys, gaming the financial system to pay people off is no big deal. One has to go back and look at the time he was in power and some of those scandals. They look a little different in the light of a guy who could be so easily blackmailed.
