Longtime Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings (D), the dean of the Florida congressional delegation, died Tuesday after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2019, two leadership sources confirmed. He was 84.
Hastings started his career as a civil rights attorney and was nominated by former President Carter in 1979 as a federal judge in Florida. Nearly a decade later, he was impeached by the House for bribery and perjury and convicted by the Senate, making him only the sixth federal judge in U.S. history to be ousted from office by the Senate.
Hastings later made an unlikely political comeback in 1992, winning a seat in the same House of Representatives that impeached him years earlier. He would represent South Florida’s 20th District in Congress for 15 terms, making him the longest serving member of Congress in the Sunshine State’s delegation.

another liberal bites the dust BH
Yup. This race hustler is another Covid victim. Every death must be from Covid. Because I said so. I’m part of government so you must believe whatever I say. If not, off with your head.
Another criminal with crimes against humanity coronavirused.
This “liberal” was a true oheiv Yisroel. He was mechasidei Umos Haolom.. You on the other hand are a knee jerk racist.

Dear thelie 4:05, not sure about the late senator’s Israeli politics, but judging from your apparent feeble-mindness as evidenced by your racist accusations, I am not going to trust your assessments in general, “oheiv Yisroel” in specific.
