Martha McSally Is Not Impressed With Roy Moore: This Place Has Enough Creepy Old Men
Virginia Kruta | Associate Editor
Republican and former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore announced a second Senate run Thursday, and within hours, members of his own party had publicly denounced him.
After fueling speculation for weeks, Moore officially announced his campaign at a Montgomery event, joining former Auburn head football coach Tommy Tuberville, state Rep. Bradley Byrne and Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill in the growing primary field.
“I believe in America,” Roy Moore said at his Senate campaign launch in Montgomery, Alabama.
“I fought for our country in Vietnam. I fought for our country in its laws as chief justice. I fought for morality to preserve our moral institutions. And Im ready to do it again” pic.twitter.com/pEUxP1XA1r

And while Moore may have an advantage in the polls thus far, a number of Republicans — including President Donald Trump — have spoken out against him, warning him not to run.
…If Alabama does not elect a Republican to the Senate in 2020, many of the incredible gains that we have made during my Presidency may be lost, including our Pro-Life victories. Roy Moore cannot win, and the consequences will be devastating….Judges and Supreme Court Justices!

Donald Trump Jr. responded to Moores announcement Thursday, tweeting, “This is pure fake news. I can assure everyone that by running, Roy Moore is going against my father and hes doing a disservice to all conservatives across the country in the process.” (RELATED: If You Actually Care About MAGA: Trump Jr. Sends A Clear Message To Roy Moore)
