Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, and a handful of other Republican senators called on Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to withdraw from the race if a report that he initiated a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl in 1979 is true.
Shelby, who backed Luther Strange in the primary but did not go on to endorse Moore in the general election, agreed.
"If these allegations are true, there is no place for Roy Moore in the United States Senate," he said in a statement.
Arizona Sen. John McCain tweeted that the allegations were "deeply troubling and disqualifying."
Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake shared that sentiment in a tweet.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, said she was "horrified" by the allegations and also called for Moore to withdraw if the reports are accurate.
Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado says, "The allegations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore are deeply troubling."

“Odd, nobody ever demanded Bill Clintoon to resign, or Ted Kennedy........................”
It is even worse than that. Have any of them said, over the years, if this allegation (out of 100’s) is true, Bill, Hillary should step aside? Much less this quick after the allegations. They are scum.
The only thing republicans hate more than democrats is republicans..
If, IF, IF
He’s already denied it. And they keep up with the “if”.
McCain should with drawl if he has cancer.
Same self-righteous hypocrites that attacked Trump!
The anatomy of a smear and destruction of a reputation.
Mitch McConnell, Karl Rove and the gang have blood on their hands and have pulled this stunt multiple times. Their fingerprints are all over this attempted assassination.
This is going to back fire on them — BIGLY!
Didn’t McConnell have polio?
We have 20 years of Republican sex scandals with no actual sex involved.
We got Dems proudly caught red handed with dead girls and live boys
Democrats give us Air F*ck One and the Lolita express flights to an island of bought and paid for Eastern European 10 year old sex slaves who disappeared off the face of the earth when they hit 16, cigars in the oval office, teen age homosexual male prostitutes and rent boys being run out of Barney Franks basement, a dead Chandra Levy (a congressional page) and a terrified flight attendant who went public in fear of her life after servicing Gary Condit and a forensically recovered body fluids DNA verified 20 ( 5 % of total FWIW )members of the the US Congressional Delegation in kinky leather and latex bi sexual group gang bang bondage sex, a wealthy blue blood Gov who likes teen call girls to do disgusting things to him with excrement for $5000 a night, Monkey Business on yacht, sex tapes and a love child with Rheile Hunter and a VP nominee with great hair and on and on and on.
One would think these damn lame Republicans could give us just one juicy sex scandal with some actual sex happening.
It's not like I'm shooting for the moon and demanding sex videos or even pictures.
I'm not even insisting that the accuser make the claim the sordid affair had a happy ending, just a beginning ... of any kind, is all I ask for.
But nooooo......
Republican sex scandals never result in any actual sex.
All we ever get are wide stances in airport stalls, racy text messages to pages and tales of copping a feel or stealing a kiss 40 years ago with a woman who old enough her teen daughters would be grossed out at the thought of mommy doing that kind of stuff back when she was their age.
Nobody needing to put ice on anything, much less anyone being told to put some ice on that.
No intimidation, payoffs or make work hush money jobs to speak of. Vernon Jordan needs something to keep himself occupied these days.
Am I the only one who finds that kind of pathetic?
This is the 21st Century, the era of cell phone voice recording, video recording and Anal Sex DIYs at Harvard U and Teen Vogue.
Republicans need to get it on and get it done because they have a lot of catching up to do with the Democrats.
“They are pulling out every dirty trick they can come up with”
This is about as bad as they can get. They better hope this works. If it doesn’t, they’re going to all look like gigantic fools.
I can’t wait to see President Trump comment on this :-) ... it should be a classic :-).
I’m officially done with the GOP. F-— THEM!!!! If the midterms don’t go well, bring on a third party ... I cannot f-—ing tolerate these scummy, sickening pieces of filth anymore.
I would *so* love to see the garbage the US Senate is hiding ... the corruption must be beyond disgusting.
I wonder how much Fusion GPS paid this woman?
>>Only the States can or will drain the swamp.
They won’t do it. They might try, but Abe Lincoln’s Federal Republic of America doesn’t answer to the states. The people’s Representatives don’t answer to the people. The states’ Senators don’t answer to the states.
The Constitutional government does not exist and has not existed for a very long time.
When he was a kid. Recovered. Was in the army 5 months—polio not a factor.
When is the election?
Isn’t that a big IF?
Yep, Strange wouldn’t comment if he would run as write in candidate.. pretty much confirms this was setup along time ago. Even heard that McConnell heard of these rumors before the runoff. kept in his back pocket just in case.
Can’t have any Christians in Congress.
“This is going to happen to pretty much ever Republican male who runs for national office from here on out.”
Yep.
Its all they got.
I love your post.
President Trump never grabbed a p****y and Sarah Palin cannot see Russia from her house nor ever said she could. For all the crimes those on the right were said to do, no one had any fun.
Just wait till these types of smears hit Washington DC. Lots to work with there. And you know it’s coming. Against republicans, of course. Never the lily white Dems.
I truly believe the Weinstein set up was strictly Dems looking down the road and seeing how far accusations like this could go. Not saying Harvey is not dirt, but I think what happened to him and the snowball effect was more of political “testcase”. Even dumbass Tom Sullivan was saying today that you can’t go against a woman’s accusation. Ever. I wanted to jump through the radio and strangle the guy. Women are nasty and yes, this is a total smear on Roy Moore. They’re even worse when they’re snowflakes.
Before you jump my shit about the woman comment. I am one so hold your fire.
