Sen. Tim Scott says Roy Moore should quit Alabama race, ‘find something else to do’
The Washington Times http://www.washingtontimes.com

Sen. Tim Scott on Sunday called for Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to “find something else to do,” indirectly telling the embattled judge to quit the race in the wake of a wave of sexual misconduct allegations.

During an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Mr. Scott suggested that Republicans are likely to lose the U.S. Senate seat in Alabama without a new candidate. The South Carolina Republican previously said Mr. Moore should step aside if the allegations are true but the decision ultimately is up to Alabama voters.

“The allegations [against Mr. Moore] are stronger than the denials and Roy Moore should find something else to do,” Mr. Scott said Sunday. “I certainly think there’s a strong possibility with a new candidate, a new Republican candidate, a proven conservative, we can win that race in Alabama.”

Tim SCOTT should pay more attention to the twit in the other seat from SC.

That's a very good point.  Why is he not saying that about a worthless sitting US Senator like Lindsey instead of one who is not even there?

He is tacitly saying that all US Senators are ok, just Moore is a poor one.

Nevermind.

No, he's not saying all Senators are "OK". He's correctly saying that Moore is a perv and a molestor and Lindsey Graham and other GOP Senators are not...and that Moore staying on the ballot is going to put the Republican majority in danger. Scott is a man of integrity and his opinion should count for much with any fair minded conservative.

The Dems condoned Bill Clinton being a scumbag because he was "right" on the issues as they saw it...we would be equally amoral if we did the same with Moore.

So you believe Moore's accusers, and not him?

Do you also believe they are Trump supporters, as claimed? Do you think that yearbook entry is legit, not a forgery?

Finally, but for one alleged 14 year old, I can't spot anything illegal. If she looked 16 or said she was, there would not be anything illegal.

Your statements should like you’re a Clintonista. In that case, I can see why you’re against a good constitutional conservative and Christian.
