Rep. Will Hurd, R-Texas, called Alabama Senate GOP candidate Roy Moore an “abomination” to the Republican Party and said President Trump is wrong to stand with him before Tuesday’s special election.
“I disagree with President Trump on a recent thing, Roy Moore,” Hurd said on MSNBC. “I think Roy Moore is an abomination to the Republican Party. And that’s one thing Republicans and Democrats agree on, and the senior senator from Alabama even said that Alabama deserves better and the American people deserve better.”
Despite multiple allegations against Moore of inappropriate conduct with teenage girls, Trump has endorsed him in the Senate race and forcefully exhorted Alabama voters to go to the polls during a rally in Florida on Friday.
“We need somebody in that Senate seat who will vote for our ‘Make America Great Again’ agenda, which involves tough on crime, tough on borders … building the wall, strengthening our military, continuing our great fight for our veterans,” Trump said Friday. “We want jobs, jobs, jobs, so get out, and vote for Roy Moore.”
