UltraViolet Action Demands Roy Moore Immediately Drop Out of Alabama Senate Race, Calls on GOP to Withdraw Endorsements
Moments ago, the Washington Post reported that an Alabama woman is accusing Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore of sexually assaulting her when she was 14 years old and he was 32 years old. The Washington Post also reported that three other women it had interviewed alleged that Moore pursued them while he was in his 30s and they were teenagers.
In response to the report, Nita Chaudhary, co-founder of UltraViolet Action, a national women’s advocacy group, issued the following statement, demanding Moore immediately withdraw from the race and calling on Republicans to withdraw their endorsements:
“Roy Moore is a child sexual predator and must immediately withdraw from the race. No one who sexually assaults children deserves to be anywhere near the United States Senate.
“All those who have endorsed, stood by, or promoted his toxic, racist, and now predatory candidacy must trust these women and disavow him immediately, including Senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, John Cornyn, and Steve Daines.”
