Alabama Dem: If Moore wins, ‘we will always be questioning his character’

Rep. Terri Sewell (D-Ala.), the only Democrat representing Alabama in Congress, said Sunday that Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore’s character will always be questioned should he win this week’s election and head to Washington, D.C.

“At the end of the day, when Roy Moore — if he should win — goes to Washington, we will always be questioning his character,” Sewell told ABC’s “This Week.”

{mosads}Sewell’s comments come two days ahead of the Alabama special election, when Moore will face off against Democrat Doug Jones for the seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and currently held by Sen. Luther Strange (R). 

Multiple women in the last month have accused Moore of sexual misconduct, including allegations that he made sexual advances toward women when they were teenagers. Moore has denied the accusation that he initiated sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl in 1979, when he was 32, but admitted in an interview last month that he may have dated women in their later teens during that time in his life.

Sewell said on Sunday that “there’s no reason to doubt these women,” referencing the women who have come forward with allegations against Moore.

While Moore initially lost support from multiple Republican lawmakers following the allegations, President Trump helped Moore with a full-throated endorsement last week. The Republican National Committee has also reinstated its fundraising agreement with the Moore campaign.
