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

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 cant deny him a seat in the Senate, but the moment hes seated he becomes a member of the body.
The Senate has its own way of dealing with membership in the body, Graham said. Therell 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, thats 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.
