Lewis cancels with Hastert, cites Foley

U.S. Rep. Ron Lewis has canceled an event next week with U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, citing the growing Capitol Hill sex scandal.

...

The speaker has insisted that before last week he had not been aware of Foley’s more graphic messages. But Democrats and others have said the Republican leadership was made aware of such allegations months ago.

The Lewis campaign asked to cancel the fundraiser featuring Hastert that had been scheduled for Oct. 10 in Simpsonville, said Lewis spokesman Michael Dodge.

“The congressman takes the speaker for his word, but there’s more questions that need to be answered and until they are, it’s better that we don’t move forward with that event,” Dodge said.
