Rep. Alcee Hastings Accused of Violating House Rule With Congressional Staff Relationship
Williams is currently the highest paid member of Palm Beach County’s congressional delegation, paid on equivalent $168,412 per year, according to LegiStorm records.
Congresswoman Barbara Comstock (R-Va.), a long-time supporter of the House rule, told the news outlet Hastings’s relationship with Williams violates the resolution.
“His flouting of the rules is legendary,” she said. “This is open and shut. He is in violation.”
Comstock told the Palm Beach Post she does not know why the congressman hasn’t been investigated, and hinted that certain members of Congress are not called out for their behavior.
“There is a sense that there are people who get away with it and people who don’t,” she said.
When questioned by the news outlet whether it was appropriate to investigate Hill, but not probe Hastings, Deutch refused to comment.
He’s a Democrat. They’re above the rules and and they’re brazen hypocrites.
We knew that already.
