Late head football coach was fired in 2011 amid the Jerry Sandusky scandal

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that Penn State should resurrect the statue of late head football coach Joe Paterno, who was accused of covering up a colleague’s sex abuse of young boys.

Campaigning in Pittsburgh, about 140 miles west of the public university, Mr. Trump vowed to “bring back” jobs in the coal and steel industries when he abruptly pivoted to Mr. Paterno.

“How’s Joe Paterno?” Mr. Trump asked of the coach, who died in in 2012. “We gonna bring that back. How ’bout that whole deal?”

Mr. Trump’s spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, said he was referring to the bronze statue that was removed in 2012. She did not respond to follow-up questions from The Journal about the sex abuse case.

A special investigating counsel led by former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Louis Freeh said Mr. Paterno and three former university administrators conspired to conceal the behavior of Jerry Sandusky, a former defensive coordinator.

Mr. Paterno was fired days after the Pennsylvania attorney general’s office in November 2011 charged Mr. Sandusky with having molested boys for more than a decade. Mr. Paterno died within three months, of lung cancer, at 85.

Mr. Sandusky, who has maintained his innocence, was convicted in 2012 of abusing 10 young boys over more than a decade and sentenced to 30 to 60 years in prison. Some of the charges have been dropped against the school administrators, who have denied any wrongdoing.

poofters, perverts and paedophiles don't deserve statues, nor does anyone who abetts them, once again the Dump is on the wrong side of the argument, does he ever think before speaking?

I don't understand. Are you saying that Trump is forcing them to put the statue back up?

Seems to me that he's merely questioning how a small percentage of people are allowed to impose their will over the majority. It's their school, their coach, and their statue. I say let them decide.

Abraham Lincoln was a faggot who sodomized the Major who was his aide de camp for years in the White House while Mary Todd slept in another bedroom.

Tear down every statue of that adulterous poof. Whatever his political legacy was it doesn't matter, because he was a homosexual, and therefore everything he was, or did, should be erased from History.

King James was also a faggot who shagged various male courtiers. Burn his Bible as the product of buggery!

And whoever defends Lincoln's or James' legacy because, you know, liberty, Union, the English Bible and all that, well, they're on the wrong side of the argument, because faggotry ought to completely nullify every single accomplishment of a man. Nothing is more important than a man's sexuality.

His crime was that he colluded with others in an attempt to cover up the perverted acts of Sandusky.

Seems to me Trump is way off base in suggesting that the statue should be restored to the campus.

He should not even get involved in this issue. He needs a throttle control on his mouth. Shit like this is costing him support.
