Susan Collins on Roy Moore: ‘I Hope ... the Good Voters of Alabama Decide Not To Send Him’ to the Senate

STEPHANOPOULOS: Can you work with Roy Moore? If he gets elected, should he be investigated? Will you vote to expel?

COLLINS: Well, first of all, my hope is that we won’t get to that point, and that the voters of Alabama will not elect Roy Moore. I’ve read his denials. I’ve listened to his radio interview. And I did not find him to be credible. As more and more allegations come forward, that adds to the weight of evidence against him. I believe, based on my reading of the Constitution, that if he is elected that we have no choice but to seat him.

Then, however, the Ethics Committee could have an investigation. And since I essentially would be a juror, if that happens, I’m not going to comment on what could happen as a result of that investigation. But, I hope that the good voters of Alabama decide not to send him to the United States Senate.
