Thursday on CNN’s “New Day,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said if former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore won the special election for U.S. Senate he would not be serving “for very long.”
Johnson said, “The allegations sound pretty credible to me. If I were Roy Moore, and I’m not, I would resign as being a candidate and give the Alabama voters what they want a Republican candidate that will actually be seated in the United States Senate.”
He added, “I think the Supreme Court has ruled that a duly elected senator needs to be sworn in. But then it’s up to the body itself to decide if we want to expel a member. And I’m just saying the reality of the situation is based on the folks I’m talking to. I’d really seriously doubt Judge Roy Moore would be serving as United States senator for very long. So he just needs to face that reality. And again, I think the voters of Alabama are quite clear. They want a Republican senator, not a Democratic one.”
