Cruz pulls support from Moore: Allegations merit ‘criminal prosecution’ if true
The Hill ^ | November 13, 2017 | ELLIOT SMILOWITZ

Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday withdrew his support from Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore, saying allegations of sexual misconduct should be looked at by prosecutors.

“As it stands, I can’t urge the people of Alabama to support a campaign in the face of these charges without serious, persuasive demonstration that the charges are not true,” the Texas Republican told reporters, according to a Texas Tribune reporter.

“Both last week and this week, there are serious charges of criminal conduct that if true, not only make him unfit to serve in the Senate but merit criminal prosecution,” he added.

Yep. The fake Senate conservatives are doing Chuckie’s dirty work for him.

Well, I was a Cruz supporter until the bitter end.

I have defended Cruz here endlessly against those still bitter at him.

I dragged multiple people to the primaries to support him.

I was among those who fought for a real conservative to take the place of Hutchinson when she retired.

He just killed my support. I guess I have no choice but to vote for him if he is the Republican candidate for his seat, but that’s it.

He just does not know when to keep his mouth shut.

I would be much more inclined to believe such accusations against Cruz than against Moore.

The answer should have been from every Republican that he is the candidate that Alabama chose. He is innocent until proven guilty. If there are charges to make, then bring them. If he is guilty he will be replaced. But until then, he is an honorable judge with a long, proven track record.

Again, the worst thing in Moore’s past is that he used to be a Democrat.

With Cruz being among the tiny few conservative-voting senators, I felt that Trump’s agenda had a chance. Now this. Very disappointing.

The fake morality and bad laws went too far a long time ago. Lawyers and their useful idiot feminists are getting too old for politics, and they know it.

So what’s the punishment for an illegal alien trying to serve as a US senator Ted?

There was more evidence against Ted Cruz on Amanda Carpenter’s twitter than we have seen so far against Roy Moore.

Tweeted Randy Mandy five hours ago, "Forget the write in campaign. Strange should resign and trigger a new special election. Let Alabama voters reconsider w this new info."

Nice set of replies at the link.

Don’t get sick, get angrier than hell!!

If Rand Paul, victim of actual physical violence ideologically motivated, still stands with Judge Moore, then he is the Great Man of the Senate and I say bravo!

I hope that President Trump plays 3-D chess on these RINO pukes. Trump should declassify 20% of the secret documents that back him up and then wait. Later, when the left screams in agony, he should let another 20%. Rinse and repeat.

Let me guess.

You want Mo Brooks to steal the seat from Moore.

I agree.

Paul is under a great deal of pain I’ll bet.

The fact he was mowing his own lawn tells me something about him. I respect that.

Ted Cruz is super smart and a master debater - don't you know?

Oh yeah he's a lying d-bag who was exposed as a condescending moralizing loser just last year - ancient history?

Do these people think history starts anew each morning

Deny until you die judge Moore - especially if its the truth.

Ted Cruz putting the the con in conservative. Salem Witch trials I tell you, quick where's Tituba? Over at Senator Bob Menendez's house I bet.

Maybe Ted should step down, too, given what we learned about his relationship with Amanda Carpenter ...

I used to respect Cruz.

He does not seem to be a fighter anymore.
