And this isn't just a single drive-by accusation, either. WaPo did a feature in-depth on Moore. They've clearly been sitting on this story for a while getting the facts together. When you factor in the Weinstein fallout, this could very easily sink Moore.

It's Alabama they'll still vote him in over a Democrat.

Pretty much but hold on people. The Great Turtle is saying that if these allegations are true, Moore needs to step aside.
Ironbite-that's powerful.

McCain's not happy either:
--- Quote from: John McCain ---The allegations against Roy Moore are deeply disturbing and disqualifying. He should immediately step aside and allow the people of Alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of.
--- End quote ---
Notice how McCain isn't adding an "if true" qualifier regarding the allegations. McConnell seems to be playing the Good Cop here, which suggests they're going to take a hardline stance on Moore. Not a shocker considering Moore isn't the most popular fellow.

I wonder if the Senate will exercise its authority to control its own membership and refuse to seat Moore.
