Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), who leads the Senate GOP campaign arm, is calling on the Senate to expel embattled Alabama GOP nominee Roy Moore if Moore wins December's special election, the first GOP senator to publicly raise the specter of expulsion.
"I believe the individuals speaking out against Roy Moore spoke with courage and truth, proving he is unfit to serve in the United States Senate and he should not run for office," Gardner said "If he refuses to withdraw and wins, the Senate should vote to expel him, because he does not meet the ethical and moral requirements of the United States Senate."
Under the Senate rules, a vote of two-thirds of the body can expel a Senator. That would be historic — the Senate hasn't expelled a member since 1862.

We are WAY beyond the Roman Empire on the corruption scale.

Not we... they. The uniparty.
If they in fact do this, they can kiss the Republican Party good bye. They are very stupid if they actually follow through with this. They are desperate, and that desperation will be their death sentence, career wise.
Is he calling for the expulsion of Bob Menendez ?
You the one that is on trial for corruption ? The one that is accused of SLEEPING with underage call girls - silence is sickening
What about Barney Frank who had a male escort service running out of his house - where were the calls for him to step down the silence was sickening
Why don’t these women accusing Roy Moore file police reports?
You know what is wrong with this whole thing ?
Everyone screaming for him to step down is afraid of having Roy Moore in the Senate . I wonder if it is because EVERYONE in the SENATE is DIRTY
I’m beginning to believe they are all dirty and corrupt as hell
That phrase is not in our Constitution, but it is in the Columbian Constitution.............
The entire GOP should resign.
Disgusting filth.
Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) tells Alabama voters to “GET STUFFED”
These idiots are still living in pre-Trump times! Remarkable! They still don’t realize conservatives are “woke”!
I hope the GOPe considers how explosive that really is.
I have never seen a political party sabotage itself the way the GOP does. I am completely embarrassed to be part of it.
Senate GOP campaign chairman:
“YOU ARE GUILTY OF ACCUSATIONS UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE OF THE RIGHT”
The Senate GOP campaign chairman can take a flying leap.
In my opinion, disavowing the will of the voters should be against the ethical and moral standards of the Senate.
The Colorado GOP is pretty much the step ‘n fetchits of the Democrats.
Worthless, gutless, and they fight on the 1/2 cojone shared by all.
Who funds the RINO/Globalist crooks on your list?
Who is funding the NRSC?
It must be COC/$0ros.
It certainly isn’t conservatives.
“I have never seen a political party sabotage itself the way the GOP does.”
That’s because not all Republicans are what they pretend to be, and pretend is the correct word.
[[But not Menendez, eh?]]
They want the corrupt Menendez back
cause they are all just like him
They must all sleep with underage hookers
Will never happen. They are just saying this in a desperate attempt to depress Moore’s vote totals. Once in, there is no way in hell they will have the courage to go through with it because it opens up a huge Pandora’s box of payback in kind for worse claims with actual evidence.
Is there a provision in the Constitution that allows a party to expel an ELECTED Senator from a sovereign state and nullify the will of their citizens?
The GOP is absolutely destroying themselves.
With Trump coming in, they had the opportunity to completely dominate federal elections for years and years... but instead, they are setting themselves on fire.
