Sen. Mike Lee pulls Roy Moore endorsement as GOP leaders condemn candidate
Fox News, Nov 10, 2017

One of Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore's most prominent backers pulled his support Friday evening in the wake of sexual assault allegations against the former state Supreme Court chief justice.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, posted on Twitter that "having read the detailed description of the incidents, as well as the response from Judge Moore and his campaign, I can no longer endorse his candidacy for the U.S. Senate."

Am really disappointed in Lee.  I understand why opportunists like Romney condemn people based upon allegations.

Lee provided no factual reason to drop Moore.

He is setting himself up for the same rabble dirt if he doesn't even give someone the 'innocent until proven guilty' treatment.
