Hastert, who spearheaded legislative initiatives to punish offenders while he was one himself, dead at 84
Former Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, who backed laws such as the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Amendments of 1996, the Child Abuse Prevention and Enforcement Act of 2000, the PROTECT Act of 2003, and the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 died this past weekend at 84.
Hastert, was one of the biggest hypocrites in modern politics. While he was promoting himself as a crusader against the sexual abuse of children, it turns out he was hiding his own misdeeds. While working as a high school wrestling coach he molested 4 boys. Although the statue of limitations had passed for the sexual crimes, he was ultimately convicted for the more than three million in hush money he paid the victims.

Interesting… On the one hand, he himself was an offender, emphasis on “was.” On the other hand, he seems to have repented and changed his ways, advocating for stiffer laws, etc., and yet, he is STILL shunned by society when he died. Further proof that, no matter how much one rehabilitates himself or how much good ones does, he will forever be judged on his worst decision.
A person in the position of trust in their former years who abused said position who then used their new position to create havoc for many others that they eventually suffered from like many others.
Don’t need to say they became the third most powerful person in US as Mr. Speaker and could’ve ascended to the POTUS under worst case circumstances. This is pretty rank when it comes the smell test…
They ALL KNEW. It was a code of silence. The GOP protected him for decades much like what Penn State did for Sandusky.
Enjoy burning forever in Hell
