He should not have been outed if he was still a minor.
He is not. Frankly, he chose to engage in these conversations with Foley. I would not have been scarred for life from them if they had happened to me. I would be disgusted by Foley, but an "outing" like this would not be the end of the world if people found out he was conversing with me.
I somehow doubt it will be the end of his world.
He is on a Republican campaign staff, and he needs to be fired tomorrow, as he is clearly not on the Republican team.
'...as he is clearly not on the Republican team.'
There is nothing supporting this. He reported his lecherous boss years ago. What, he's supposed to cover for Foley because he was somehow seduced and participatory, and is a republican?
"but an "outing" like this would not be the end of the world if people found out he was conversing with me. I somehow doubt it will be the end of his world."
I'm glad there are people like you out there who know how to think of the glass as half full..
"He is on a Republican campaign staff, and he needs to be fired tomorrow"
Yes, suddenly being seen as a liability to present and future employers for no reason isn't the end of the world at all..
