Fox News host on Roy Moore: ‘I hope the guy loses’

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said he hopes GOP candidate Roy Moore loses the Alabama Senate race.

Gutfeld said Monday this election is “team sport politics.” The argument right now, he said, is that “Moore is bad, but Democrat is worse.”

“It doesn’t always have to be a team sport,” Gutfeld, who has described himself as a libertarian, said Monday on Fox News.

Gutfeld added that Trump is endorsing Moore because “he has to because it’s his team.”

“I hope the guy loses. And if you’re upset that I say that, that’s not on me,” he said.

“That’s on a team sport ideology that’s pernicious.”

Moore is facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

A woman accused Moore of initiating a sexual encounter with her when she was 14 and he was 32, while another said Moore sexually assaulted her when she was 16. Other women have also alleged that Moore pursued relationships with them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s.

Moore has repeatedly denied the allegations.

President Trump last week offered his full support for Moore. Trump also attacked Moore’s Democratic opponent, Doug Jones, for being weak on crime, and recorded a robocall in support of Moore.

Voters in Alabama are heading to the polls Tuesday for the special Senate election, the winner of which will serve out the remainder of Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s term.

According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, Moore has a 2.2-point lead over Jones.
