Geraldo Rivera Claims Dennis Hastert Is Now A Victim

In a tweet Geraldo Rivera said, "Sex misconduct from yrs ago was gross but Speaker Hastert is now a victim who should be given pass in exchange for testimony vs blackmailer." I was shocked when I saw that Tweet.

In my opinion Dennis Hastert is not a victim. He made a decision to make payments to a person for years in order to allegedly cover up his actions. Years ago Hastert could have refused to pay the money.

It's amazing, isn't it, that when caught out, conservatives are always the victims? I second your F/U to Rivera.
