Embattled Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore told supporters on Thursday that he would not back down amid calls for him to step aside from the race following a new report that accuses him of inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor in 1979.
"I refuse to stand down," he said in a new email.
Moore blasted the accusations, levied in a new story by The Washington Post, in a fundraising email to supporters. He called the allegations attacks from "the Obama-Clinton Machine's liberal media lapdogs."
"The forces of evil are on the march in our country...I have a duty to stand up and fight back against the forces of evil waging an all-out war on our conservative values," he wrote.
