Disgraced ex-congressman sits behind Trump at rally
CNN ^ | 10-08-2016

Posted on 08/11/2016 3:31:04 AM PDT by ToxicMich

Donald Trump on Wednesday again slammed Hillary Clinton and her campaign for allowing the father of Orlando shooter Omar Mateen to sit in the stands behind her at a recent rally.

But sitting behind Trump was ex-congressman Mark Foley, who resigned in disgrace in 2006 after sending sexually explicit messages to underage teenage boys.

Look up the Youtube video on Right Side BRoadcasting of last niht’s rally and you will see him on the right habd side of the screen, He has whoite hair, a red shirt, and a black jacket as I recall.

Well at least Foley didn’t rape any women like Bill Clinton did, nor did he abandon 42 Americans to die in Benghazi in a 13 hour battle, like Hillary did.

But let’s get that media faux outrage machine rolling!

And ran a gay prostitution ring out of his basement, IIRC.
**************
Correct, basically.
It was his boyfriend who ran the gay hustler service. He recruited boys from the nearby high school.

See, this is where I have a hard time with our side. If Mark Foley had been making the moves on your child (Freeper, please imagine yourself in this situation right now), you would want to take him out back and flay him. And rightly so. Pedophilia is not homosexuality as some here are trying to equate. I get it that the media over-hypes everything to the point of end-times mania, but we don't have to act like we have to defend every little indiscretion.

Acknowledge the oversight (if called to do so) and move on. Then, when peppered with question after question about the same thing (as the media is wont to do), you can say, "The campaign has addressed this issue and is moving on." Or, when the evening "panels" of Trump-bashers follow-up and follow-up, beating this dead horse, your spokesperson (I would use that Pierson girl every chance I get) can "wonder" aloud what sort of interest in pedophilia the media has that they keep bringing this "issue" up when Trump has already addressed this. Maybe even opine as to whether or not they are in support of making Pedophilia the next human right (as some of them actually do).

Gets liberalism/socialism in the media on full-frontal display (sorry for the image.)

Did Foley or a member of his immediate family commit mass murder in the name of islam?

Didn't think so.

“CNN hosts and Hillary surrogates object, saying Foley is a pedophile, and this is about the campaigns, neither campaign should allow a controversial person to appear in camera view.”

PIAPS allows Huma in view. How is a married woman’s lesbian lover less offensive?

:: sending sexually explicit messages to underage teenage boys ::

CNN is making sh!t up AGAIN. That is not the true description of events.

If it was Boehner, then the headline would have used the term “Disgraceful”.

For CNN, Foley’s sin is being GOP.

Let's see - how many of the boys Foley propositioned did he also murder? 100? 50? 5? Even 1?

Ummm... No, doesn't look like he murdered anyone. Nor did anyone in his family, as far as is known. But, thanks to the intellectual giants at CNN, prosecutors across the land got a bit of good news: they can now prosecute pimps and whores and johns as equal to murderers. The CNN brain-trust is a wonderment, with the likes of Don Lemon, and that's just for starters.

Sooner or later, rank and file Trump supporters may realize that the Republican party does NOT want Trump to be elected. I’m not talking about the mythical GOPe but the GOP itself.
