Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore has managed to retain some support from local Republicans in the wake of allegations he mistreated several women in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, but one group just yanked its endorsement.
The Greater Birmingham Young Republicans on Thursday voted to formally censure Moore, who continues to insist on his innocence, and revoked its previous support for his candidacy. The resolution passed by members was firm, asserting Moore had failed “to provide credible evidence or explanation to discredit these allegations.” And that’s a very fair point, one echoed by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., who observed on Wednesday that Moore “faces specific, credible allegations and he hasn’t offered a specific, credible defense.”
