Mark Foley (FL-16) was known by the GOP to be a sexual predator since at least 2001.
At least five Republicans have been involved in covering up his predation. Let’s replace the whole lot.
Rodney Alexander (LA-5) was the boss of one of Foley’s victims—and told only Tom Reynolds, whose job it is to keep Republican congressmen reelected.
GOP Congressional campaign chair Tom Reynolds (NY-26) told Speaker of the House Denny Hastert about Foley’s behavior - and then accepted $100,000 in hush money from Foley. Reynolds’ current chief of staff, Kirk Fordham, had been Foley’s campaign manager and chief of staff - and has been advising Foley since the scandal broke.
House Majority Leader John Boehner (OH-8) admitted to learning earlier this year of Foley’s predatory behavior, and admitted telling Denny Hastert but nothing else—but then retracted his story, claiming now he “doesn’t remember” whether he told Hastert or not.
Speaker of the House Denny Hastert (IL-14) knew about Foley’s predatory behavior for at least a year and did nothing—and is even now stonewalling any investigation.
Chairman of the House Page Board John Shimkus (IL-19) met with Foley in 2005, knew about Foley’s predatory behavior, and never told the sole Democratic member of the Page Board about Foley. Shimkus spoke approvingly in public about Foley’s interest in the pages and let him take one of them alone to dinner.
