Chairman of Senate GOP campaign arm: ‘We will never endorse’ Roy Moore

The chairman of the Senate Republicans’ campaign arm is vowing to “never” support Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) after President Trump endorsed Moore earlier this week.

“Roy Moore will never have the support of the senatorial committee. We will never endorse him. We won’t support him,” Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) told The Weekly Standard.

“I won’t let that happen. Nothing will change. I stand by my previous statement.”

Moore has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, including one who alleges he initiated a sexual encounter with her when she was 14 and he was 32. Another woman accused Moore of sexually assaulting her when she was 16.

Moore has denied the allegations, calling them a political ploy to sabotage his campaign.

Gardner’s remarks come after the Republican National Committee reinstated its support for Moore earlier this week after initially cutting ties over the sexual misconduct allegations.

Trump offered a full-throated endorsement of Moore on Monday, tweeting his support and then calling Moore from Air Force One.

The Moore campaign said Trump told Moore “Go get ’em Roy” before ending the call.

Moore is currently leading Democratic opponent Doug Jones by 2.3 points, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls. The special election is set for Tuesday.
