Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore’s campaign defended its candidate in the face of numerous sexual misconduct allegations and calls for him to step down, taking aim at the news media, Democrats and the GOP establishment in a press conference on Tuesday.
“Mitch McConnell has spent over $30 million dollars trying to stop Judge Roy Moore. The Washington Post and all of the fake media for the last two weeks has said everything they can say about Judge Moore. They’re trying to dig people up, put them on TV and say ‘Judge Moore’s a bad guy,’ ” the Moore campaign’s chief political strategist, Dean Young, said.
Young proceeded to take aim at Moore’s Democratic opponent, Doug Jones, referring to him as a “dyed in the wool liberal Democrat.”
“Alabamians, we cannot send anyone like that to Washington,” he continued.
The campaign also targeted the woman who publicly accused Moore in a Washington Post story of touching her sexually when she was 14 years old.
