Moore accuses McConnell of trying to 'steal' special election from him
Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore on Thursday again insisted he will not step down from the race amid allegations of sexual misconduct that have piled up against him in recent days, saying that calls for him to leave the race are part of an attempt to "steal" the election from him.
Moore spoke at a press conference alongside nearly 20 faith leaders who defended him, railing against the media for not asking questions on policy since The Washington Post reported on allegations that he initiated a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl when he was 32.
Moore has vehemently denied the allegations and reaffirmed at Thursday's press conference that he's still running for Senate against Democrat Doug Jones.
Moore, a vocal critic of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), again called for the majority leader to step down, accusing GOP leadership of trying to "steal" the Dec. 12 special election from him.
