Moore Jabs at McConnell for Franken Response
Says he received harsher treatment than Minnesota Senator
Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for being harsher on him than on Sen. Al Franken.
Moore’s words come as Sen. Al Frankenwas accused by Los Angeles morning radio host Leann Tweeden of kissing and groping her without her consent.
Moore has been under heavy criticism from Republicans including McConnell, who called for him to step aside amid allegations Moore had inappropriate sexual contact with underage girls and that he sexually assaulted another teenage girl.
Moore tweeted that Franken had photo evidence and that McConnell called for an investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee into the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Senator.
Meanwhile Moore said there was “ZERO evidence” and McConnell told him to step aside.
Al Franken admits guilt after photographic evidence of his abuse surfaces.
Mitch: “Let’s investigate.”
In Alabama, ZERO evidence, allegations 100% rejected.
Mitch: “Moore must quit immediately or be expelled.”
