Senate Republicans are stepping up pressure on Roy Moore to withdraw from the Alabama Senate race after new sexual misconduct allegations on Monday, but many stopped well short of pledging to expel him if he wins the special election next month.

Republican are wrestling with what to do about the conservative candidate in the wake of a bombshell report about Moore making sexual advances toward teenage girls, and a fifth woman coming forward on Monday who said he sexually assaulted her when she was 16.

Anyone watching Hanity?

Jeanine Pirro says today was the tipping point for her!

The writing in the yearbook of Moore to the 17 year old girl

Got to be careful of that tough little self-fellator Bob Corker.

“Republican senators wrestle with their Roy Moore problem”

These Republican senators need to start thinking about the upcoming demands that former president George H. Bush be prevented from having a state funeral in the capital or buried in Arlington National Cemetery because of his admitted grouping in a sexual manner the buttocks of women, some as young as 16.

How do they defend Bush's actions?

I don’t think Roy Moore is their problem.

Hopefully, in the near future, re-election will be their problem.

So Mitch, what happens when accusers now come forward against sitting Senators? Are they forced to resign with no proof? If I were a scheming Democrat, I would be lining up women to go after as many GOP Senators as possible. You have just placed the Republican majority in danger because of your sniveling capitulation. If you had just said that the people of Alabama will be the finale judge on this.

Judge Jeanine, after hearing today’s circus with the “fifth accuser” is now coming out against Roy Moore. Disappointing.

Geez, hope none of these types are EVER on a jury I, or anyone in my family, would be in front of.

I cannot believe THEY are believing all these made-up stories. If there were true stories they would not have any credibility either at this point.

These creeps are trying to put as much pressure on Moore as they did on Trump with the Access Hollywood tape. Moore should fight this to the end or these contrived hit jobs will only increase in frequency and intensity.

This is part of the hard Left’s “By All Means Necessary” Alinskyite tactics.

I'll say this: If Moore is forced to withdraw, or is expelled from the Senate if he wins, the Republican Party is history. And if the Dims win back Congress, there won't be any of this nose-picking and navel-gazing. All of Trump's initiatives will be stopped cold. No judges will get confirmed. And the House will begin impeachment proceedings.

That's when I'll retire from FR, from politics as a whole, and begin making my contingency plans.

I just wonder what these Senators, of both parties, have in their pasts that they would not like aired in the light of day?

Usually those who scream the loudest have the most to hide.

Dark state couldn’t pick their candidate in this one. They are beside themselves. As an aside. The elections in Virginia are rigged by Dark state.
