The Greater Birmingham Young Republicans voted Thursday to pull its endorsement of Roy Moore and censure the U.S. Senate candidate at its monthly meeting, saying it believes in the concept of innocent until proven guilty but not "electability until proven guilty."

The group also called on the Alabama Republican Party Steering Committee, which has the power to decertify Moore's ballot access and void his votes on Dec. 12, to do the same. Earlier on Thursday, the steering committee sent out a statement affirming its support of Moore, adding that Moore's fate should be decided by voters and not "the media or those from afar."

The group said it was "committed to protecting women and children from similar acts of sexual misconduct."

The resolution was tweeted by Collier Tynes, former chief of staff to ex-Alabama First Lady Dianne Bentley. Tynes said the action was "the best birthday present ever," and said the resolution was the first of its kind by a Republican group in Alabama since the Moore allegations surfaced last week.
