Some Republicans, like Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, have said Moore should step down from the campaign, but others question the timing and credibility of the story.

Anderson said the latter category of Republicans are victims of identity politics.

“In truth, there’s been a lot of things Republicans and Democrats have done underhandedly to each other,” he said.

But he said in this situation, they need to set that aside “when it’s something so heinous, a crime so terrible.”

“The worst part of human nature is being fed, and that’s this idea that they should be sticking to their guns and be suspicious, as opposed to just accepting this story for what it is: a sad story of an adult man taking advantage of several underage girls,” he said.

Looking forward to what he wants for Wisconsin, Anderson painted a picture of a Libertarian government with strong local control.

“We don’t need to send people to Madison to be experts on things and make decisions for us. That's a recipe for cronyism and corruption,” he said.
