The Greater Birmingham Young Republicans voted Thursday to pull the group's endorsement of Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, and urged the state's Republican Party to do the same.

In a statement Thursday that blasted Moore for allegations he attempted sexual contact with underage girls, the group wrote that it believes in "innocent until proven guilty, but not [electable] until proven guilty."

The Birmingham Young Republicans is "committed to protecting women and children from similar acts of sexual misconduct," the group wrote.

The successfully-passed motion was tweeted by Collier Tynes, former chief of staff to former Alabama First Lady Dianne Bentley, who called the vote "the best birthday present ever."
