Former Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, who was accused last fall by multiple women of sexual misconduct, claimed that Democrats were targeting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to block his confirmation. The comments come as Kavanaugh has battled an allegation of sexual misconduct.

“It’s so obvious that these tactics are used just days before a very important event like this, a Senate confirmation,” Moore said in an interview with One America News Network on Wednesday. “It’s right in the midst of a confirmation hearing.”
