National Republicans may be bailing on Senate candidate Roy Moore after nearly a week of sexual harassment accusations, strange interviews, and even a press conference involving Gloria Allred. But members of at least one Alabama GOP organization say they’re standing by their man.
The Shelby County GOP issued a resolution Wednesday, expressing support for Moore and listing reasons that members of the county and state Republican parties will continue to back the former judge in the race for Jeff Sessions’s vacant Senate seat, even as the RNC – and leadership within the “Republican uprising” – question whether Moore remains a suitable candidate for office.
“We call on Republicans in Alabama to support Roy Moore and defeat the Democrat Party candidate,” the resolution says. “So that our voice in Washington, D.C. will continue to be represented by a Republican who supports the Republican Party principles and platform we hold dear and who will push forward a conservative agenda that is best for the United States of America.”
The resolution goes on to list the date of Roy Moore’s primary win, and suggest that since he is the official choice of Alabama Republicans, he should remain in the race. The body of the resolution claims that Moore has been a “consistent proponent” of Republican positions on fiscal matters, abortion, and “family values.”
