Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) said on Sunday that it bothers her that President Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC) have thrown their support behind Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) after numerous sexual misconduct allegations against him.
Fox News’s Chris Wallace asked Comstock whether Trump and the RNC’s support bothered her as a Republican woman on “Fox News Sunday.”
{mosads}”Yes, I mean it doesn’t represent me. I don’t think it represents most of the Republican women, as well, as my colleagues like Senators Tim Scott [R-S.C.] and Corey Gardner [R-Colo.] have made clear,” Comstock said.
“The voters are going to decide on Tuesday, but I think they’re going to have an ethics investigation and what we’ve been doing on my committee is that we’ve been hearing the voices of the women and the victims, and that is what is going to happen, because every woman has a story. Jeff Sessions said he believed these women, and I think if Roy Moore doesn’t underperform like he has in the past, then he’ll be facing the Ethics committee,” she said.
Comstock’s comments come days before Moore faces off with his Democratic opponent Doug Jones for Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s former Senate seat.
Allegations of sexual misconduct with teenage girls have plagued Moore for the past month of the race. Trump has endorsed the candidate, however, urging people to get out and vote for him at a rally on Friday.
The RNC also reinstated its support earlier this month, after pulling back following the allegations.
