    I guess I'm the only one who could not give a rat's ass about what a pervy dead doctor did decades ago. If the head coach and the administrators haven't been held accountable, why are people trying to single out the assistant coach just because he got elected to congress? If you threw out every congressman with past questionable ethical behavior there would be no one left to act on behalf of the rich.

    If you coach a team and find out that you have a team doctor who can't keep his hands off of the athlete's genitals, why would you not step forward and stop it?

    If it comes out later that a coach knew it was going on and did nothing, why would that coach not be held responsible? It seems certain that OSU is going to eat millions of dollars in damages over it.

    It's not a question of whether the coach is now a congressman. If he was a shoe salesman I'd expect him to be held responsible. The injustice of it is that he is less likely to be brought to justice because he is a politician and can claim that it is politically motivated.

    Doing nothing to stop sexual assault is "questionable ethical behavior" now ... good to know

    The Freedom Caucus is only going to be more powerful within the GOP in the next Congress. The seats that will be lost are the more moderate Reps. Likely to be a very odd dynamic. Not sure if Trump pivots to work with Dems in the House or doubles down. Whether the bulk of the GOP turns on Trump for costing them Congress or is still ride or die.

    The only two chairs of it are now out of Congress. It's inactive and most of it's membership are now Freedom Caucasians.

    They lost their mojo when Obama left office, for some reason.
