Christian Coalition stands behind Hastert
From CNN Congressional Producer Ted Barrett
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Christian Coalition Tuesday expressed support for embattled House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Illinois, who is being criticized for his handling of the investigation into former Rep. Mark Foley's, R-Florida, sexually explicit correspondence with a House page. "Christian Coalition of America stands behind you as you seek a full and an exhaustive investigation, including an FBI inquiry, regarding the disappointing actions by Congressman Mark Foley," Christian Coalition Chairman Roberta Combs wrote in a letter to Hastert Tuesday. The Washington Times editorial page, which is know for promoting conservative policies, called on Hastert to resign in Tuesday's edition. |
