Republican blame game

There were lots of warning signs .In 2001, pages were warned to be careful with Foley.
In 2005, one page complained to his congressman about "sick" e-mails from Foley, a complaint passed on to the Speaker's staff.

Then this past spring, the complaint was again raised with three Republican leaders, including Hastert himself. Foley wrote his lurid messages at the same time he presented himself as a champion of young people and the pages.

The leadership Republicans failed to take action to protect their pages in favor of covering this pedophile so he could win his election in his Florida district for them. Then they tried to lie saying that they didn’t know.

Some Republicans are now trying to blame the pages, the victims.
