vcczar Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Larry Craig (ID-R) has few actions not connected to his scandals because he was such a party-line voter and actually didn't lead on that many things, despite being considered a GOP leader. He was just a senior-rank guy following the party line and encouraging other party members to do the same. The 1982 action would not be an action if not for the 2007 scandal, in which Craig pleaded guilty to avoid jail time. While he pleaded guilty, he stated he had never been gay, although it's obvious he committed a gay action in 2007. He was at least bisexual. His 2008 action was him trying to underscore that he isn't gay. Overall, he was certainly confused if not knowingly hypocritical. All of this makes his 1982 denial seem questionable. Despite lengthy service, Craig will be known to history--if he's known at all--for soliciting sex from a male in an airport bathroom.
