Hastings was the first judge to be charged while on a federal bench and in 1989 was ordered to be removed from office by the U.S. Senate.

Hastings has thrown his 2020 support behind Sen. Kamala Harris (D.,Calif.), who said that she was “proud to have” his endorsement. The endorsement was hailed by CNN as a major win for the California senator’s efforts to win over southern black voters.

The publication failed to note any past controversies that engulfed the longtime Florida representative, including taxpayers footing a secretive $220,000 bill for Hastings to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit that was brought against him by a former staffer.

He is protected by the RACE CARD and being the RAT that he is, also immune to the same laws that would have any of us Deplorables rotting under a jail cell, somewhere.

Some criminals never stop unless incarcerated or eliminated.

The Hastings story was big when he was impeached. Yet it is no surprise to me to see the propaganda media is totally airbrushing our history.

You have to appreciate Hastings for consistency. He has never altered his effort to remain, at least, tied for the most corrupt person ever to draw a federal paycheck.

Lying, cheating, stealing and law breaking in general are not only acceptable attributes in certain cultures but in fact are resume enhancers. Alcee Hastings has got it all going for him.

She must be attempting to follow the kameltoe harris road to political success.

$168K a year is a pretty good salary. That is $14K a month.

That comes to $461.40 per night. Only thing is taxpayers are footing the bill.

Once a crook, still a crook. Some can reform but not apparently Alcee.

That crook is still in office.?

I remember when he was a judge in Fla.
He was using gov workers to install Gold bathroom fixtures in a house he was building.
Claimed the money was found in a fireplace on the house he built.

Just found this on Wiki....
In a 2011 survey of U.S. lawmakers, the Center for Responsive Politics named Hastings the "Poorest Member of Congress," with a 2010 average net worth of −$4,732,002.
The Poorest! $4.7 mil!

He's a RAT. He gets a pass. The RAT O'Bummers spent millions upon millions on their taxpayer funded vacations and nobody (except FR) noticed.

Trump spent a fraction of that on a national celebration and he's all in the news.

Two lessons here. First, Conservatives are condemned no matter what they do. Second, news media outlets are irrelevant.
