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.

Agree.

Trump is the first in a long time willing to go toe to toe and punch back. No apologizing, no retreating, no agreeing with them as they push us off the cliff.

We are fighting the Swamp Monsters and have to be prepared to war with them. MSM, RINOs, Dems, Chamber of Commerce types, and the whole lot of status quo Washington “elites” that have us in the mess we are in must be kicked out of D.C.

This one Senate race is about more than that seat. This is about the RINOs stopping Bannon because after Moore wins they know they are going to be headhunted.

He voted with Trump. The D would not.

If Trump put forward bills reflecting his campaign positions, Strange would not be a reliable vote.

I know it won’t happen, but IF McStupid denies Roy Moore, the Alabama governor should appoint Judge Moore’s wife!

After all of the stress caused from what amounts to be a proactive left wing RINO conspiracy targeting her husband, I’ll bet she would cause McConnell and McCain never ending herniated brains!

Just because he doesn’t believe an accused should have the chance to confront his accusers and question them? That’s just dead white European crap, anyway.

"Mitch should step aside

Bannon going to kick his ass"

Don't disagree with the former; with respect to Bannon, no proof of the latter

There's simply no one to run against him.

He's had exactly one serious primary challenger in his career, and even then, everyone knew Bevin would be *Gov. Bevin* the very next year, rather than giving him the Senate seat.

Oh how they hate Steve Bannon! Steve should be doubling down on these RepubliKan Senatorial cowards! Bannon and Moore are seen as the hole in the dike that needs to be plugged. TOO LATE CRUZ BOTS. Yertle the Turtle McConnell must resign....his role is to deny Trumps agenda!

Lets do a Hillary on the 4 brave women, and publicly call them sluts who wished they’d been f**ked so they could have told sooner.

Now the money is so good they are speaking up simply to keep a horny conservative from winning again? ( Only leftists are allowed to be horny, not conservatives.)

The left is desperate. So are the RINOs in Washington who are calling for Moore to step down. And now plan to keep him from being seated if he wins ( which he likely will do.)The hatred for Bannon is STRONG, Buahahahahaha!

The femino-nazi brave (sic) women suffer from Sexualitis, a newly discovered leftist mental condition similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome that makes them falsely remember that they had been f**ked by a conservative politician who looks like he is going to win.They are not brave, they are cowardly whores.The money must be good, real good.

Femino-nazi slut, sexual shake down artist prostitutes!
Real hookers would seem clean in their company, at least they do the deed they are paid for. Not these “4 brave women.”

And people take this seriously?

Surely the good people of Alabama will NOT!

And The GOPe Senate Swamp critters ? They need to represent the People or resign, instead of looking around to see who screwed who 40 years ago.

I don’t know about you all, but I am with Bannon!
