McConnell: If Moore wins, he'll "immediately" face Ethics Committee
Axios ^ | 11/14/2017 | Erica Pandy

Posted on 11/14/2017 8:48:43 PM PST by advance_copy

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that if Alabama's Senate candidate Roy Moore wins, he'll face an ethics investigation immediately after he's sworn into office. "It would be a rather unusual beginning," McConnell said, speaking at a Wall Street Journal event.

"I'd like to save the seat, and it's a heck of a dilemma when you've got a completely unacceptable candidate bearing the label of your party within a month of the election," he added.

McConnell is one of several Republicans who have called for Moore to step aside. He has also spoken with President Trump and Vice President Pence about the allegations against the candidate, but Trump has yet to take a public stance on the issue.

I hate to have to agree with you, but you are probably right.

That is just a bunch of bluff and bluster. If the citizens of the sovereign state of Alabama elect Roy Moore then Turtle will seat him and that will be the end of it.

To: Steven W.; Jim from C-Town
The Birmingham News has been on a rampage against Judge Roy Moore for many years, especially since their alleged lesbian editor took over as the main editor for the 3 largest newspapers in the state of Alabama and Judge Moore came out against sodomite marriage.

I've met her and she is VERY butch.

Kyle Whitmire is an effete "columnist" there (though he's married) and he's written with more vitriol against Judge Moore than anyone, with the possible exception of John "I forgot I declared bankruptcy and I've got a gay brother" Archibald.

They hate Judge Moore and they have made it clear that they do.

Their jobs are also dependent on pleasing their editor. Those 3 papers are owned by Advance and they have laid off over 40% of their employees in the past few years and now only print 3 days a week.

So you have lesbains and leftists calling the shots and maybe a couple of people who are afraid to speak out in fear of losing their jobs.

But this is a hate campaign of the highest order.

Yeah, and what is McConnell going to do if Senator Moore says he ain’t coming to their lynching and they can hold it without him if they want. It’s my understanding they can only go after him for current things while he’s a senator they can’t turn back the clock.
