Do the Republicans recognize the irony of the "Hastert Rule"?

The Republican majority instituted a non-binding rule that the Republican controlled Congress would not allow bills to the floor without a majority of the Republican caucus in favor of the bill.

After Donald Trump's (and many other Republican's) support of Roy Moore in Alabama, does anyone else see the irony of having a Republican caucus rule named after a self-admitted child molester?
