Whoops! GOP compares their Senate nominee to pedophile nominee who lost

By Oliver Willis - October 5, 2018

Republicans compared Marsha Blackburn, their own Senate nominee in Tennessee, to notorious pedophile Roy Moore.

The Senate campaign arm of the Republican Party compared Tennessee candidate Marsha Blackburn to pedophile Roy Moore in a recent email blast. Moore famously lost his own Senate bid in Alabama.

The comparison came in the course of an attack on Phil Bredesen, who is the Democratic candidate for Tennessee’s Senate seat.

In an email, the National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC) used the subject line “BEWARE: Tennessee’s Doug Jones” in reference to Bredesen. Within the body of the email statement, the NRSC said Bredesen “sounds a lot like another out-of-place Democratic Senator, Doug Jones.”

Jones currently represents Alabama in the Senate, and if Bredesen is Jones, then Blackburn must be Roy Moore, who lost to the Democrat.
