Even as some members of the GOP have softened their position against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore ahead of Tuesday’s special election, the National Republican Senatorial Committee is standing firm in its opposition to the judge.
“Roy Moore will never have the support of the senatorial committee. We will never endorse him. We won’t support him,” Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, chairman of the NRSC, told The Weekly Standard. “I won’t let that happen. Nothing will change. I stand by my previous statement.”
Gardner’s comments come days after President Trump endorsed Moore and the Republican National Committee decided to support him once again.
The RNC had cut ties with the Senate candidate after allegations initially surfaced of Moore’s sexual misconduct with underage girls when he was in his 30s.
In commenting on Trump’s decision to support Moore, Gardner told TWS, “We’ve taken a different position. I think our position is right.”
The president's reasons had to do with preventing the seat from going to a Democrat who would oppose the GOP agenda.
“Democrats refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need Republican Roy Moore to win in Alabama. We need his vote on stopping crime, illegal immigration, Border Wall, Military, Pro Life, V.A., Judges 2nd Amendment and more. No to Jones, a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet!” he tweeted Tuesday.
“Putting Pelosi/Schumer Liberal Puppet Jones into office in Alabama would hurt our great Republican Agenda of low on taxes, tough on crime, strong on military and borders...& so much more. Look at your 401-k’s since Election. Highest Stock Market EVER! Jobs are roaring back!” he added.
Other Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have changed their tune a bit, arguing now that Alabama voters should “make the call” on Moore. He has argued, however, that should Moore win, he will “immediately” face a Senate Ethics Committee probe.
Here is a background on 5 accusers. One works for the perverts that one knows the one who claimed she was 14*. But was actually 16 at the time ?

Alred charge : Grad book signature a forgery; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3604591/posts link shows someone named Roy or Ray signed it.Then Moore’s last name was added to it in a blue colored ink. His legal secretary at the time he was a Circuit Court Judge declared it a forgery because her initials; DA, appeared with his signature in that year book. Because she would verify his signature Moore / DA /date only on his court rulings .Which is what that forgery was copied from .http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3608349/posts
It’s been reported that CNN reproduced and showed the page in question in one colored ink; black.
Disciplined ex Gasden police officer Lt Gary accusation claiming that Moore was banned from a local shopping center for skirt chasing cheerleaders and other charges were politically motivated and are lies.

Let’s see: women with no proof who have had their stories discredited must be believed.
My mind’s made up; don’t confuse me with facts.
Why we hate politicians.
Hopefully the Old Guard in the GOP suffer the same fate as the die hard Soviets who tried the coupe de tat.
Hers is the point I have been making all along.....the NRSC is a PRIVATE. FOR PROFIT Corporation.......
When these people are speaking out against Moore.....in which capacity are they speaking?....
As a Senator, as a member of the NRSC....or as a private citizen
If Moore brings suit against anyone, it should be against all 3 roles.
Mitch and Co. cannot shape-shift for very long, if Moore were to take that approach.
If the Senate Republicans were just moving their mandate through, sending all kinds of actions to roll back Obama’s extremism, they could be picky about making sure that new senators had great reputations with the media.
As it is, they can’t get anything done. Electing Jones to the Senate isn’t going to make success any more likely at all.
Does Sen. Flake really think the C note he sent to Jones would make Jones open to voting for the Republican mandate?
McTurtle is losing a grip! So are the rest of the GOPe! Fug ‘em all!
There is no doubt that he will.
If Moore wina he won’t be in the Senate long. I can hear McConnell saying “I told you so”.
Hypocrites, I won’t say every last one of them, but certainly the majority of them are guilty of that charge.
And when he runs for re-election in two years? How about then?
Appearances matter. He needs to change his look.
The last thing that pigs at the trough want is someone with soap and a hose (otherwise known as morality).
The Senate is the most worthless collection of self serving gasbags on the planet. They are totally so unworthy of a Roy Moore and deep inside they know it.
it is akin to the peter principle (promotion to the maximum level of incompetence)
we have the swamp principle...promotion to the maximum level of preserving the swamp.
The problem with this is that the person you are cursing has no knowledge of what the RNC or the Senate Repbublican committee is doing. These solicitors are likely near minimum wage employees trying to make it through another week. Many of them are probably Democrats too.
There are two “Corys” in the Senate. What a shame!
“The GOP is run by fear of the media” In few words you have identified the biggest underlying problem with the GOPe.
Gardner, like McCain and Collins, is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with the Republican Party.
This should be the standard for determining if a candidate is qualified to be a Senator.
Cory, the “Bush Rule” also applies to Senators from CO.
“Pissing off your Base is never a winning strategy”
