Larry Wilmore was frank in his thoughts on former House Speaker Dennis Hastert during Monday night’s edition of “The Nightly Show.”

“Dennis Hastert may be a pedophile,” Wilmore said, opening up the segment.

Hastert was indicted last week in connection with his alleged attempt to pay $3.5 million to an “Individual A,” to compensate for “prior misconduct” against that person.

News reports later surfaced that said “Individual A” was a male student whom Hastert had allegedly sexually abused when he was a high school teacher and wrestling coach in Yorkville, Illinois.

“$3.5 million to conceal sexual misconduct? That’s what the Catholic Church calls a steal!” Wilmore said.
