George Will: Roy Moore already disqualified from serving

BY JOE CONCHA - 12/07/17 02:19 PM EST



Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore should have been disqualified from running for the Senate well before questions about sexual misconduct were raised, MSNBC contributor George Will said Thursday.

The veteran pundit noted that Moore has twice been tossed off the bench of his state Supreme Court, and argued that his record disqualified him from swearing an oath to the Constitution.

"The charges of sexual predation are distracting us from something that happened earlier — that this is a man who has twice been thrown off the bench in Alabama for his dislike of the American Constitution, his refusal to — well, actually theocratic position that his religious conscience trumps the Constitution," Will said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"Now, that disqualifies him surely from taking the oath that they take when they pledge to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. But now we've forgotten about all that — we've forgotten that before the questions of his predatory sexual behavior came up, he was disqualified," Will said.
