Roy Moore’s brother reportedly defended him against allegations of sexual conduct with a minor, comparing the situation to the persecution of Jesus Christ, according to CNN.
CNN correspondent Martin Savidge spoke with Jerry Moore by phone, and said that he suggested the women who have made accusations against his brother are being paid by the Democratic Party to come forward.
“When I asked what does he believe the motivation is with these women coming forward, making the accusations they have, again, Jerry Moore says it’s money and the Democratic Party, implying that they are doing this because they’re being paid in some way, and it is for the purpose of derailing or interrupting this campaign,” Savidge said.
Savidge said that Jerry Moore said “his brother is being persecuted, in his own words, like Jesus Christ was,” and that in their conversation he was “very defiant and very outspoken, relying on his faith and defending his brother to the hilt.”
