On Monday night, Roy Moore, the Republican Senate nominee in Alabama, made his first public comments in nearly two weeks, and he flatly denied the accusations from at least eight women who say Moore sexually assaulted them or tried to start physical relationships when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s. "I do not know any of these women," he said, adding that he wants to "make America great again, and I know to be great again, we've got to be good again; to be good again, we have to talk about something that politicians don't talk about, and that's morality."
