Two GOP senators say Roy Moore shouldn’t run for office
NY Post ^ | November 19, 2017 | 11:41am | Mark Moore

Two GOP senators said Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore should not be a member of Congress amid allegations that he sexually harassed teenage girls when he was in his 30s.

“The allegations are stronger than the denial, and Roy Moore should find something else to do. I think that there’s a strong possibility with a new Republican candidate, a proven conservative, that we can win that race in Alabama,” Sen. Tim Scott, a Republican from South Carolina, said on “Fox News Sunday Morning.”

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said she finds the sexual misconduct claims against Moore “credible.”

“I read his explanation. I listened to his radio interview. I did not find his denials to be convincing at all,” Collins said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “So, from my perspective, there are credible allegations against him.”

She said Moore should not serve in the Senate.

“I hope he does not end up in the US Senate,” Collins said.

FU Tim Scott. Being a Judas POS must be a requirement to be a senator from South Carolina.

Because the Senate is filled with such fine and upstanding citizens. If the allegations against Moore are true he will fit right in with the lowlifes in the Senate. I don't find the allegations credible because we've seen this tactic before by democrat and rino scum.

Susan Collins and Tim Scott say Roy Moore should not run for Senate.

Now that we today’s Roy Moore endorsements out of the way, can move on to more important things.

““I read his explanation. I listened to his radio interview. I did not find his denials to be convincing at all,” Collins said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

An ultra liberal senator talking on CNN. What a surprise this is.

““The allegations are stronger than the denial, and Roy Moore should find something else to do. I think that there’s a strong possibility with a new Republican candidate, a proven conservative, that we can win that race in Alabama, Tim Scott.

Since when are allegations nothing more than conjecture. Got any proof Tim? Would love to see it you coward. We used to call this piling on. GOP, rule of law. I guess for him it’s GOP, guilty until proven innocent. Cut off his funds.

Susan Collins - definitely an instance of "Diff'rent Strokes for Diff'rent Folks".

This election is pretty much up to the people of Alabama, not Maine.

Remember Judge Roy Moore was a Democrat until 1992. By my watch, that was some 25 years ago, and until then, such behavior on the part of a Democrat was not only expected, but actively encouraged as a part of resume enhancement.

Upon transferring his party membership, Roy Moore became a changed and much reformed man, and the things he did as a young man were put away.

Is not redemption a part of Christian charity?

What a surprise! Rinos and NeverTrumpers wanting to keep a true conservative out of the Senate! Find me some pearls to clutch, and make ready my fainting couch. TRAITORS!

Disappointed in Tim Scott, but Susan Collins, she is in total character. It is funny that she is talking about ethics and character when she has neither. Example, she runs as a Republican but is clearly a liberal Democrat doing the Democrat’s work in the Senate. If that doesn’t say lacking in ethics and character, I don’t know what does.

I’m so disappointed in Scott and Susan Collins is a dolt/idiot so no surprise there. All this has just confirmed what a sorry bunch we have in both houses of congress!

THIS election is up to Alabama voters...period.

I don't know this Judge Moore, never met him, read about him during the 10 Commandment thing was going on...

I am a Past Madam President of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and we along with the States and National Organization Order of Eagles promoted these Commandments to be placed around America to keep God in Our Country and in Our Schools...I am very displeased about how the lack of Our Lord has become so poorly over ruled in Our Government, Country, Schools and in our lives...without God, we are NOTHING!!!

For these santimoious imbecile projecting their ‘rights’ onto other peoples ‘rights’ is exactly why Our Country is not working...

Let the Alabama voters decided what they want, it is their State, they know him have seen him work, I haven't and how many of our Government Officials that live in glass houses really know him??? Apparently not many or they would keep their mouths shut, especially the ‘gay’ McTurtle!!!

Okay, Collins, Scott. Put your sanctimony where your mouth is. Call for a release of ALL congressmen who have paid off their sexual harassment targets with taxpayer money. If Moore is not worthy, surely the sitting scumbags aren’t either.

Susan Collins, John McCain... and a number of others have done serious damage to our cause, and yet THEY have the impression THEY are the guardians of purity in the Republican party.

Fools...

Good Lord, will these assclowns shut up already?

The the NRSC, etc. doesn't want to actively support Roy Moore, fine. But every day we have to get headlines about these D.C. Republicans running their yap about him. Why not let him run his campaign in his state, and let people in that state decide?

For the life of me, I cannot understand why they're so gung-ho on keeping this pile-on going for as long as they can. The mainstream media, yeah, but not them. Does anyone think Chuck Schumer and company would be trying this hard to lose a seat in Massachusetts or California?
