Judge Roy Moore took to Twitter to respond to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell calling for him to step aside.
“I think he should step aside,” McConnell said. His comments marked the most definitive position he has taken on Moore’s candidacy since The Washington Post reported the allegations on Thursday.
Asked by a reporter whether he believed the allegations, McConnell responded: “I believe the women, yes.”
The Judge was having none of it:
The person who should step aside is @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell. He has failed conservatives and must be replaced. #DrainTheSwamp

While there is no doubt McConnell is a failure and needs to be replaced. We are still awaiting more evidence to determine whether the Judge is innocent or guilty of these alleged actions.
