Gary Bauer Condemns Foley's Conduct

Contact: Kristi Hamrick, American Values, 571-244-6324

 

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 /Standard Newswire/ -- Former presidential candidate Gary L. Bauer on Monday condemned the behavior of former Florida congressman Mark Foley and demanded that if any officials were part of a cover up, that they be disciplined as well.

 

Bauer, president of American Values, made the following statement:

 

"What former Rep. Foley did was unacceptable. This is the case of an adult man in a position of authority attempting to sexually seduce a 16-year-old boy. It is absolutely inappropriate for men and women in positions of authority to exploit those least able to defend themselves.

 

"I join my voice to House Speaker Dennis Hastert in calling for a full investigation to determine whether anyone from either party knew about the abusive conduct alleged from former Rep. Foley. Minors must be kept safe, and any misconduct reported. That is the law. The American people have a right to expected that their elected officials represent them with the highest personal codes of conduct and with respect for not only the powerful but also the most vulnerable members of our society."
