Jones is facing off against GOP candidate Roy Moore, who has been accused of sexual misconduct and assault by several women who say at the time they in their teens and he was in his 30s.

He later thanked Flake for his donation on Twitter. 

Thanks Jeff. I hope others will donate too!#OneWeek#RightSideOfHistoryhttps://t.co/DIgY5BjJ3B https://t.co/thnRT4omRM

Flake has been highly critical of Moore and of GOP leaders who have backed him, including President Trump.

“A Roy Moore victory is no victory for the GOP and the nation,” Flake said Monday. {mosads}

Trump gave Moore his full endorsement on Monday.

Earlier on Tuesday, President Trump reiterated his support of Moore while sitting right next to Flake at lunch with GOP senators.

Flake, who has announced he will not seek reelection in 2018, said that he would not support Moore before of the sexual misconduct allegations came to light, based on Moore’s past comments that Muslims should not be able to serve in Congress.

Flake has doubled down on his criticisms of Moore since the allegations and has said it is a “big mistake” for the president to throw his support behind Moore. 

Trump gave Moore his full endorsement on Monday.   

Voters in Alabama will go to the polls Dec. 12.
