Jeff Flake Says He Would Support a Democrat Over Roy Moore

Senator Jeff Flake said today that if given the choice between Roy Moore and a Democrat, he’s going with the Democrat:

!!!! FLAKE on if he thinks Jones should win. “If it’s Roy Moore or a Democrat? A Democrat.”

"I would literally — if I were in Alabama — I would run to the polling place to vote for the Democrat." –Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Arizona)

!! @JeffFlake says he’d support Doug Jones over Roy Moore.

“If the choice is between Roy Moore and a Democrat, then the Democrat. No doubt.”

Flake, of course, recently announced he’s not running for reelection, and he’s been pretty critical of Moore ever since those serious allegations of sexual misconduct came out:

If there is any shred of truth to the allegations against Roy Moore, he should step aside immediately.
