Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) on Sunday said the Senate Ethics Committee will “immediately” open an investigation into Alabama Republican candidate Roy Moore, who numerous women have accused of sexual misconduct, if Moore is elected to office.
“If he wins we have to seat him. Then there will immediately be an ethics investigation,” Scott said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
He said the panel will “perhaps even talk with some of the folks who are witnesses” to Moore’s alleged misconduct.
“I’ve always said that so far, as far as I can tell, the allegations are significantly stronger than the denial,” Scott said.
A statement that truly snarks for itself.
Now, if they talked to witnesses and end up proving the allegation as true, they would have to expel Moore. That would mean they are doing the right thing and they can’t have that.
Yes. I think he means witnesses in addition to the accusers. The fact that he’s calling for an investigation is heartening. Unless of course he’s just using that as cover to let ‘more reasonable’ people vote for Moore.
Trump: No worries, I will create a new law(tweet) which exempts crimes committed prior to taking office. It only applies to Republicans. If you commit crime while you are in office and you support me, I will pardon you.
Too charitable for me.
