The story here, in my eyes, is not that they will try to prevent him from being seated, it’s that Gardener is so brazen and stupid as to even say such a thing publicly.
Thank GOD that Trumps enemies are so stupid.
I have read that a senator can only be expelled for immoral or illegal acts committed during their term in the senate.
I think McConnell said it, too.
I have a feeling the SC would slap them down for refusing to seat a senator over unsubstantiated accusations ALREADY know before the election.
