Judge Roy Moore made clear Wednesday that he will not be quitting his campaign for the Alabama Senate special election, even as calls for his exit from the race intensify.
“We believe in God, the Constitution, the Sanctity of Life and the Sanctity of Marriage. We are everything the Washington Elite hate,” Moore tweeted Wednesday afternoon. “They will do whatever it takes to stop us.”
“We will not quit,” he added.
The comment from Moore’s campaign comes as influential conservatives have rallied against him over the past 24 hours. Fox News’ Sean Hannity said on his show Tuesday night that Moore had 24 hours to explain himself against the allegations brought forth since last Thursday or to drop out of the race.
Matt Drudge, the founder and editor of the Drudge Report, referred to Moore as “Judge Whore” on his site earlier Wednesday when linking to a story claiming that Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist, may pull back his support for Moore.
Moore has been under siege as five women claim he made unwanted sexual encounters when they were teenagers.
