VIDEO - Report that Roy Moore had sexual contact with a teen raises questions about his Senate run | PBS NewsHour

Don Dailey:

There were not any indications of this.

I think a lot of people were caught by surprise here in Alabama. Some of Roy Moore’s defenders have actually raised the contention, why didn’t this come out a long time ago, why is it now just surfacing? Because Roy Moore has been such a public figure here in Alabama for so long. Why is it just coming out now?

But a lot of people are surprised. A lot of people are reacting rather guardedly, saying if these allegations prove to be true, that Roy Moore should step down as a candidate. Others are staunchly defending him, especially his base.

Roy Moore enjoys a staunch base of supporters here in Alabama, Republicans, conservatives, evangelical Christians who have stood by him through thick and thin through a lot of controversies that he has weathered here in Alabama over the years.
