Hastings incidentally is a former federal judge who ran for Congress shortly
after being impeached by the United States House of Representatives by a 413-3
vote in 1988 on charges of bribery and perjury. The Senate convicted him in
1989, on a vote of 69-26, on eight seperate articles of impeachment, making
Hasting only the sixth federal judge ever removed from the bench on an
impeachment conviction in the history of the United States.
Mediate.com reports that Hastings said: “We have fried chicken. And we
have catfish and BBQ. ... [We have] collard greens. We have Jamaican beans and
rice,” but apparently, Chick-fil-A is just not racially sensitive enough for
Hastings and his fellow socialists on the CBC.
