The chair of the GOP's Senate campaign committee says if Roy Moore wins, senators should vote to expel him
A fifth woman on Monday accused Roy Moore, the Republican candidate for Senate in Alabama, of sexually harassing her when she was a teenager and he a district attorney in his early 30s. Represented by attorney Gloria Allred, Beverly Young-Nelson became the latest woman to accuse Moore of inappropriate conduct, saying that when she was 16 years old, Moore tried to sexually assault her in his car after offering her a ride home from the restaurant where she worked, one Moore frequented.
Young-Nelson said that after she fought back, Moore "gave up," and threatened her that no one would believe her story if she told anyone. "You're just a child," Young-Nelson quoted Moore as saying. "I am the district attorney of Etowah County. And if you tell anyone about this, no one will ever believe you."
