Graham: Being A 'Child Molester' Is 'Inconsistent' With Being A Senator

Source: Talking Points Memo



By ESME CRIBB Published DECEMBER 11, 2017 10:54 AM

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Monday said that he would have a “hard time” working with a colleague that he thinks “molested a child,” referring to allegations against Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore.

Graham on CNN said that if Moore wins the special election on Tuesday, Republicans “can’t deny him” a seat in the Senate, but “the moment he’s seated he becomes a member of the body.”

“The Senate has its own way of dealing with membership in the body,” Graham said. “There’ll be an Ethics Committee investigation, and if the Ethics Committee, in a bipartisan manner, supports the allegations of these women that he in fact is a child molester, then my view is, that’s inconsistent with being a member of the body.”

Numerous women have accused Moore of sexual misconduct, and of pursuing them sexually when they were teenagers and he was in his early 30s. One woman, Leigh Corfman, alleged that Moore initiated a sexual encounter when she was 14 years old, two years below the age of consent in Alabama.

I wonder if he expressed that opinion to Trump yesterday on the golf course.

Slow on the uptake. But since the rest of the repubes don't get it at all, I suppose he's out in front of the crowd of deplorables.

Roy just diddled around with a few pre-teen girls. And your Donnie Littlefingers is campaigning for him - He can't be that bad of a guy for the GOP.
