(CNN) Roy Moore's brother is defending the GOP Senate candidate "to the hilt" amid the escalating controversy over allegations of sexual misconduct against him, according to CNN correspondent Martin Savidge, who spoke to the brother on the phone.

Jerry Moore firmly denied the allegations against his brother and drew an analogy between his situation and the persecution of Jesus Christ, Savidge reported Friday in an interview with CNN's John Berman.

Savidge spoke to Jerry Moore on Friday morning, one day after an explosive Washinton Post report detailed allegations that the Republican Senate candidate from Alabama pursued sexual relationships with several teens when they were between the ages of 14 and 18 and he was in his thirties, including an alleged sexual encounter with the 14-year-old, who would not have been at the age of legal consent under Alabama law.

Jerry Moore said, "he knows ... that the allegations against Roy Moore are not true, not true at all," Savidge reported. The younger Moore also said "he's very concerned about what the impact is going to be on their 91-year-old mother, hearing all of this, they worry about her age and health," Savidge said.

1. Brother says Moore is a god

[olegramps]

17. The sad thing is that it will not affect these Bible Beating hypocrits.

Hell,they elected Trump. His bragging about molesting women didn't phase them. I guess that in their bible Groping was one of the Beatitudes.

2. I don't recall learning in Sunday School that Jesus was persecuted

for having been accused of molesting a 14-year-old. If I were a religious person I'd consider any comparison between Jesus and Roy Moore to be blasphemy. Since I'm not religious I'll just call it disgusting and reprehensible.

3. + 1

[Dave Starsky]

5. They've been blaspheming like crazy the last 24 hours.

Their last outrage was saying that Moore fucking children was okay because Joseph fucked Mary in order to have Jesus.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. That's not even accurate blasphemy.

The Bible story is that Mary got knocked up by God, and she and Joseph didn't get it on at all.

[Dave Starsky]

10. Exactly.

But, then, I never met one of these turds who ever actually read the Bible.

12. On the morning Jesus was arrested, he was found with a young nude boy

-- Mark 14:51-52

13. I had to look that up.

Thanks.

4. I guess that makes him James,

son of Joseph and Mary?

I'll bet he knows exactly what his pedo brother is.

6. Steven Colbert fried this last night

'Joseph didn't touch her. That was their whole deal. She was 'The Virgin Mary'. Ok. Not the 'askin' for it Mary.' Which is why she wasn't talkin to the Washington Post 30 years later' --Steven Colbert November 09 2017

8. Jesus who?

[DavidDvorkin]

9. How does he know whether it's true or false?

He could say he can't believe his brother would act that way, but he can't say that he knows it's not true unless he was there when the incident did or didn't happen.

11. Moores goose should be cooked now, but prob. wont be

In my experience, playing the Jesus card is proof you did it.

[Proud Democrat]

14. Oh No! Wait until mother finds out!

"I always knew that boy ain't right"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Okay you asked for it

[yurbud]

16. well, that clears this whole little kerfuffle up doesn't it?

I bet his dog likes him too.

[calimary]

18. An absolute abomination!

Talk about taking the name of Our Lord in vain! Seems to me that's about as big an abomination as there is.
