One of the women who has said she had a relationship with Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) when she was a teenager and he was in his 30s said Monday that Moore is “unfit for public service.”

“He is unfit for public service at the Senate level in this nation,” Debbie Wesson Gibson told NBC’s “Today.”

Gibson has said that she dated Moore when she was 17 and he was 34. She was over the age of consent in Alabama, and has not accused Moore of sexual assault.

Gibson said that she dated Moore for about two and a half months. While she did not believe there was anything wrong with the relationship at the time, Gibson said in hindsight it was “not appropriate, it’s just creeper. And I did not have that sense at the time.”

Several other women have accused Moore of sexual misconduct, including a woman who said Moore initiated a sexual encounter with her when she was 14 years old.

President Trump has fully backed Moore in the race, urging supporters at a rally on Friday in Florida to vote for Moore, and recording a robocall for the Republican candidate that was sent out on Sunday.

“There is a man who is willing to his sell his soul for political gain,” Gibson said of Trump.

Moore faces Democrat Doug Jones in a special election Tuesday to fill the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Luther Strange (R).
