So seat him, remove him(or recall him or pressure him to resign), and have another special election with a different GOP candidate. Just handing the seat over to the democrats is not a rational option here. And that's what the left is demanding of the Alabama voters right now. "We got you, give us your damned seat". It's not about Moore, it's about the senate seat. Let the dems have their pound of flesh after the election is over and the seat is safely in GOP hands.
Actions, even rational ones, have consequences. South Carolina knows that well after the rest of the country, and even a few countries outside our jurisdiction boycotted venues and events and broke long standing contracts in the wake of their perfectly rational but hugely controversial 'Bathroom Bill'. Republicans are dragging this country's credibility into a Black Hole of international scorn, ridicule and loathing. The lost revenue from South Carolina's gaffe was over $1B last I heard. What will the eventual cost to America's lost tourism, lost immigration, lost contracts, lost trade, etc., etc. Have we really let one man singlehandedly destroy what was once the most powerful nation on earth? Roy Moore would have caved just like Franken and Conyers but for Trumps meddling. A Pox on his house.
What will be the GOP's excuse to still support Moore now?
They both (Franken and Moore) may (or may not) be guilty of similar actions but anything each may do stands on it's own.
If Moore is guilty of all of it there is still no reason to use him to deflect for Franken.
Your title and first post is attempting to do just that.
Ugh, that is North Carolina of which you speak. I think that point is rebuttal enough.

There is apparently a lot of inbreeding and related mental deficiencies in Alabama. That people might believe this is certainly good proof of that.
