Corrupt demorat. Impeached and convicted of bribery while a Judge. Elected to Congress by dumb voters.
‘Don’t speak ill of the dead’ is no doubt good advice, however when it comes to Alcee Hastings an exception is in order. While I won’t say I’m glad he’s dead, I am glad I’ll never have to listen to another word out of that crooked old reprobate’s mouth. GRTBR.
It’s a start.
Well RIP. We are all sinners not worthy. With that said why do these CorruptoRats get to leave office only in the stiff, horizontal position? Answer is no term limits and morons who continuously vote DemoRat regardless of the character of the candidates. No one escapes the term limits of life on earth.
Sorry, not sorry.
One of the most corrupt, disgusting creeps ever to have taken a seat in the congress has finally joined his master, Satan, in hell.
This is why Pelosi wanted that Iowa seat.
Her majority just got smaller.
He was still alive???? and IN OFFICE?????
One less racist Democrat.
Piece of garbage. Rest in piss.
I guess this is the only way to get rid of these rocking chair moron.
First good news I’ve heard today.
If the Oak Island guys really want to find a treasure horde, they should start digging around Alcee’s house.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Not that it matters, the morons who elected this scumbag will simply elect another of equal moral stature - that is to say no moral stature.

from link: Rep. Alcee Hastings (D., Fla.) continues to pay his longtime girlfriend the maximum congressional salary of $168,411, and has paid her nearly $2.4 million in salary since 2000. Hastings also employs his girlfriend's daughter and the wife of a former staffer who was previously convicted of money laundering.
... The gig has proved lucrative for Williams, who has pocketed millions in salary since 2000, the first year that salary figures are publicly available from Legistorm. Hastings' history with Patricia Williams dates back to the 1980s, when Williams served as co-counsel during his impeachment trial as a federal judge.
In 1981, Hastings was charged with "conspiracy and obstruction of justice for soliciting a $150,000 bribe in return for reducing the sentences of two mob-connected felons convicted in Hastings' court."
William Borders, a D.C.-based lawyer who was indicted alongside Hastings, was convicted in 1982 following an FBI sting. Hastings was acquitted by a criminal court in 1983, although a probe later found that Hastings had tampered with evidence, committed perjury, and conspired to accept bribes. Williams worked as his co-counsel throughout the trial.
Thank you Richard Earle Jr....
84, we have a gerontocracy. Normal people would retire and enjoy the last years of their lives. These vile pigs just stay on and on and on.
Prayers for his soul.
