Two Republican Senators Rescind Endorsements of Roy Moore

Following the disturbing report about Roy Moore‘s alleged sexual misconduct with teenage girls––including a 14-year-old––two senators have rescinded their endorsements.

Utah Senator Mike Lee and Montana Senator Steve Daines tweeted out statements earlier tonight:

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 US Senate.

— Mike Lee (@SenMikeLee) November 10, 2017

I am pulling my endorsement and support for Roy Moore for U.S. Senate.

— Steve Daines (@SteveDaines) November 10, 2017

Earlier today, Lee had requested that his image be removed from Moore’s fundraising pitches.
