One of the most recent heroes in Congress. A free speech and government transparency advocate who wanted to do what is right. He stayed by such principles until the very end.

Mike Gravel sold his vote for the chance to f--k an aide one of his fellow congressmen was pimping out.  He lied about it at the time, but then bragged about it in his autobiography decades later.

I met Gravel once. He came across as a crank, but there are worse things to be. Didn't vote.

Massive FF.

It's ironic that he primaried one of only 2 Senators to vote against the Vietnam war.

Why is this such a reprehensible position to hold?

FF. I think it's sad how those leftist teenagers used him to push their own agenda at the very end of his life. After failing to reach the debate he dropped out and endorsed Tulsi. The teens running his "campaign" came out and basically said, no, ignore his own statement, he actually endorsed Bernie.

FF for most of his career, but became weird and developed HP tendencies as he got older (flat tax, hanging out with Iranian regime people, 9/11 conspiracies, etc).
