Alcee Hastings, longtime Florida congressman, dies at 84

Seat is open.

CBS-

Representative Alcee Hastings, the fiercely liberal longtime Florida congressman who was dogged throughout his tenure by an impeachment that ended his fast-rising judicial career, died Tuesday. He was 84.

Hastings’ family confirmed his death in a statement issued by his congressional office. Hastings, a Democrat, announced two years ago that he had pancreatic cancer.

“He lived a full life with an indelible fighting spirit dedicated to equal justice. He believed that progress and change can only be achieved through recognizing and respecting the humanity of all mankind. He was never afraid to speak his mind and truly loved serving hls constituents and his family,” the family said. “He will be dearly missed but his legacy and fighting spirit will forever live on.”

    But eventually, on His schedule, we all take the boat ride to the other side.

    Note to SeeBS, it wasn’t his Impeachment that derailed his Swamp career, it was his braisen criminal act.

    …I know it’s OT, but who cares about this dead old corrupt bastard.

    You seem to have changed your avi. Is that Donald Trump as Rat Fink in a Kustum Kultur car?

    …I like it…

  5. …I do know a guy who has pancreatic cancer, though. It’s apparently hard to detect so it runs away before it can be fought effectively. It seems to be wicked as a witch and I pray for Ed to get healing from God because his doctors appear to be outclassed, he was just about to retire and he hasn’t been allowed to see his demented father in a nursing home for over a year, and probably won’t even be allowed to say good bye…

  6. Last night on Mark Levin’s radio show he related a tale of how he once met Hastings in Florida and what a truly genuine and kind man he was. It was almost as puke-worthy as the living eulogy he gave Bill Barr when
    (thankfully) resigned.

  7. The stupid, corrupt, old African was an excellent representative for his third world corrupt African district of Zimbabwe located in Florida! May he rest in snot and vote often!
