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.

Reminds me of Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino. “Did you ever come across someone you shouldn’t have messed with?”
Amen. Kill shot D’Moore.
Indeed.
In fact, he should step aside old school Japanese style.
No. Collusion isn’t illegal.
If he can prove multiple parties acted in concert, Moore needs to employ terms like “libel” “slander” “conspiracy to commit...”
I think the write-in idea is hilarious as it would very likely just split the anti-Moore vote. Our opponents will stop at nothing but that does not mean they are geniuses.
McConnell needs to go!
................. one ugly crowd.
Step aside McConnell. Get your crooked tail, down the trail, already!
Moore is right.
Moore nailed it.
YES, what you said...he needs our support...this is a ping to me to remind me.
Moore is right on the money. No wonder the Geriatric Old Plotters are against him.
It’s a shame dueling is illegal.
It’s a shame dueling is illegal.
Amazingly you have a rare photo of the ACTUAL swamp. !!
Perfect response
Time for Yertle Soup
McConnell needs 2/3 of the Senate to support expulsion. That means he needs all of the 46 dems and 21 of the 52 Republicans.
As ridiculous as it sounds I would not be surprised that if Moore wins election he gets expelled.
Has McConnell called on Dem Senator Menendez to step down?
After all, they guy admits to sleeping with underage hookers — he just claims it was a quid-pro-quo.
No? Shocked, I am sure.
YES! Roy Moore for SPEAKER !!!!
Roy Moore WINNING !!!!
McConnell, step aside.
McConnell the Loser. Always losing.
Credit President Trump for establishing the model.
