Moore: McConnell is one who should step aside
The Hill ^ | 11/13/2017 | Avery Anapol

Posted on 11/13/2017 10:13:48 AM PST by BradtotheBone

Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore responded to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) call for Moore to "step aside," saying that McConnell is the one who should do so.

"The person who should step aside is [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell. He has failed conservatives and must be replaced," Moore tweeted on Monday.

His tweet comes after McConnell said on Monday that Moore should withdraw from the race.

Several conservative leaders have called for Moore to step down following allegations that he engaged in sexual encounters with teenagers in the past, including one 14-year-old girl who alleged that he kissed and touched her sexually when he was 32.

McConnell originally said that Moore should step aside “if these allegations are true,” a sentiment echoed by other GOP senators. But when asked Monday about the allegations, McConnell said, "I believe the women."

Moore has denied the accusations and threatened to sue The Washington Post, which published the original report detailing the allegations. He has told his supporters that he plans to remain in the race.

What the fallout on Moore will eventually be, I don’t know.

What I do know is that Moore is certainly right here, Moore: “McConnell is one who should step aside.”

Clinton should be denied any compensation or entitlements for being an ex president.

Go Moore!
Target acquired.
The real enemy is the GOPe.
Targeting dems is a given but the RINOs are the priority target because of their traitorous actions.
It's truth.

"Let’s see if the Turtle has enough cajones to deny him a seat."

No he won't.

How many of us will go to DC and protest and bring that city to a halt because of this. Every Trumpster, Tea Partier, FB friends of Sarah Palin, and large audience chunks of every Pro Trump Talks Show Host in America would be their in Mass to say no mas....

I agree with Moore—Yertle the Feckless Turtle should resign from the senate in shame. He is a TOTAL failure as senate majority leader.
