“Unfit.” That’s what Mitt Romney said late last week about Roy Moore, the controversial former state judge who’s on the ballot as the GOP Senate nominee for Alabama’s special election Dec. 12. Moore is under fire for allegations that he had sexual and romantic contact with girls as young as 14.
Romney said Moore should step aside, and that he believed the accusers. It wasn’t until Monday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., followed suit by saying that Moore should drop out of the race “if” the accusations are true. On Monday, McConnell took a page from Romney’s playbook, saying he believed the women and that Moore should leave the race.
