While serving as a U.S. federal judge in 1988, he was impeached by the Congress of the United States, and then convicted of perjury and conspiracy to accept a bribe and was removed from office in 1989. He has been re-elected twice since then.
So what does that tell you about the VOTERS who RE-ELECTED him?!!!??
He is from a gerrymandered district put together to insure a black in congress.
Get predoiminately black slums in Broward, Palm Beach Martin and St. Lucie counties and attach them all by narrow little strips of land. Call it a congressional district and you’ve created a haven for a crook like Hastings.
The local paper (TCPalm, a Scripps-Howard paper)endorsed Hastings too. What does that say about them?
