Senate Republican leadership is calling for Alabama GOP candidate Roy Moore to step down as the party's nominee if new allegations of his inappropriate sexual conduct against a 14-year old girl in 1979 are true.
Both Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) released brief statements on Thursday, shortly after The Washington Post published the allegations.
"If these allegations are true, he must step aside," McConnell said.
Gardner's statement echoed that from McConnell.
“The allegations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore are deeply troubling,” he said. “If these allegations are found to be true, Roy Moore must drop out of the Alabama special Senate election.”

Mitch, your giddiness at this troubling development gives your game away. You seem a little too happy at the Judge being accused of this sex crime.
The ‘story’ has bearly been out for six hours, yet here you go telling Moore to drop out of the race.
Quite willing to let the Dems win this round, as usual.
The entire GOP should step down, Bitch.
I swear, I have never seen a more sh!tlessly pitiful group of pointless ass faggots in my entire life ;/
DAMN!
Well duh but how will you prove it?
So we would be left without a candidate?
Good tagline, and so true.
I don’t want Moore to step down under any circumstances. None.
In case there’s any question, no stepping down under any circumstances.
Any Freepers who think otherwise should go clutch their pearls elsewhere
Mitchie....did you PAY this liar??
In the early 1970s, when I was 14, Mitch McConnell groped me. I have absolutely no evidence to prove it and I just suddenly decided to come forward, but that shouldn’t matter. I expect the Washington Post to run a front page article about it tomorrow.
But how would McConnell ever know if they are true? Statutes of limitations have run out. What would be the proof of guilt or not? I have evidence against my molester but it’s moot. Too many years have passed.
McConnell will do anything to maintain power for the GOPe. He needs to be brought down. His own background has some suspicious incidents including how he left the military. Since politics is war now. He needs to be destroyed.
“OMG, the 14-year old girl was Russian !!!”
That’s funny right there...
The turtle is so damn lazy he can’t even do a political smear properly. Pssst Mitch, we know you are behind this. Your statement was too canned and too quickly timed.
Hey Mitch, how about you step down in shame as a result of your complete ineffectiveness and failure to implement conservative principles?
Mitch—well, that was quick!
Moore is being Weinsteined.
And if the allegations are pure B.S. will McConnel step down? Hmmm?
Coordinated attack by the Post and McConnell.
Odds are, this will hurt McConnell more than Moore.
Don’t forget, the Senate Republicans are the ones who paid for the smear campaign against Thad Cochran:
Wouldn’t it be nice if republicans went after democrats with the same fire and fury as they do republicans?
Yertle should step down now
