Greer on Allen verdict: 'He needs to resign'

Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer released a statement on the Allen verdict: "The nature of this conviction requires (Rep.) Allen to seriously consider his ability to effectively serve the citizens of his district, which should be one of his utmost priorities.

"I am confident that Speaker Rubio and the House of Representatives will take steps to uphold the integrity of the office, which may include Representative Allen's resignation or other available options."

But Greer was stronger in an interview. "He needs to resign," Greer said. "He can’t effectively serve his citizens with this type of conviction."
