Ex-RNC chairman rips Trump for backing Roy Moore: US has no moral compass under you
Source: The Hill
BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 12/05/17 09:25 AM EST
Michael Steele, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), slammed President Trump on Monday for endorsing Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore.
Link to tweet
Steele was referencing Trumps Monday morning endorsement of Moore, in which the president said the Senate needs his vote.
Democrats' refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need Republican Roy Moore to win in Alabama, Trump said.
The president had previously hedged on supporting Moore amid the Alabama Republicans sexual misconduct scandal, but had maintained that Republicans could not afford to lose the seat.
Moore, who has been embroiled in a sexual misconduct scandal for nearly a month, has remained defiant in the face of accusations, which include that he made inappropriate sexual advances toward teenaged women. Moore has denied the allegation that in 1979 he initiated sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl, but admitted in an interview after the first set of accusations that he may have dated women in their later teens at that point in his life.
