Charlie Dent Says Roy Moore’s ‘Unfit for Office,’ Dodges on If Franken Should Resign: The Process Should Play Out

RUSH EXCERPT:

DENT: "First, let me clarify something. I did not support Roy Moore. I set he was unfit for office prior to these serious allegations of sexual misconduct. Because of his platant disregard for constitutional limits, he was removed from the state Supreme Court twice. He has made very incent area statements about religious minorities and the lbgt communities, among other things. She a fringed candidate. Of course, he should step aside. I would never support a man like this for office. On the issue of Al Franken, the Senate ethics committee is going to investigate him. I think we have to let that process play out. As a former chairman of the house ethics committee, I can tell I when we’ve had some difficult cases that involved various types of misconduct, while members were in office, you know, we would sanction members, sometimes members would resign on their own to avoid any institutional further institutional turmoil. So I want to be clear about. That I did not say leaving it up to the people of Minnesota on the Al Franken situation. His fate is in the hands at the moment of the Senate ethics committee."
