Shelby joins McConnell, other GOP senators calling on Moore to withdraw if allegations are true

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, and a handful of other Republican senators called on Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to withdraw from the race if a report that he initiated a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl in 1979 is true.

Shelby, who backed Luther Strange in the primary but did not go on to endorse Moore in the general election, agreed.

"If these allegations are true, there is no place for Roy Moore in the United States Senate," he said in a statement.

Arizona Sen. John McCain tweeted that the allegations were "deeply troubling and disqualifying."

Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake shared that sentiment in a tweet.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, said she was "horrified" by the allegations and also called for Moore to withdraw if the reports are accurate.

Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado says, "The allegations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore are deeply troubling."

Notice how NOT ONE Republican establishment Senator is saying "If these allegations are FALSE..." ONLY "if they are true HE MUST DROP OUT NOW!"

May God deal with these Establishment squishes ever so severely for this coordinated attack on His servant Roy Moore. This is nothing but at attempt to throw salacious accusations at Moore, and see what sticks. It is straight out of Alinsky's book, which the Republican party subscribes to, just the same as the Demonrats.

I am voting Roy Moore next month NO MATTER WHAT.

Yet not one suggestion that people should be wary of false accusations and take into account the full character of the accused and the accuser when deciding how much merit to give them. Women do lie. They (dare I assert this) may even lie more frequently and with greater conviction than men.

My gut feeling is that this a a BS attention getting slander by a mentally ill women orchestrated by Moore’s political enemies.

It seems to me they are trying to lose this race rather than have a man who says he will oppose McConnell win it.

I can’t wait to see President Trump comment on this :-) ... it should be a classic :-).

Yup, the swamp has been playing while Trump has been away. I suspect Trump will side with Moore on this and smack the swamp for false charges similar to the ones they hit him with when all else had failed. Mitch needs to go!

It’s very disturbing that the establishment refuses to acknowledge the will of the people. They must not believe we have the will to enforce our decision to govern ourselves as we see fit. The perpetrators of this smear must be removed.

Yup, coordinated and predictable. IF...IF...IF, freakin’ cowards can’t even give Judge Moore the benefit of the doubt since these things CAN be fabricated. No, they jump immediately in with the coordinated effort. &$%*@#!

I really hope more comes from the Saudi prince who has been arrested and his support of all these swamp creatures in DC. I strongly suspect these Saudi’s were behind the Las Vegas attack, which would indirectly put these swamp creatures in the hot seat or a possible noose IF these suspicions play out to be true.

How’s that for a big IF, you RINO RATS!
