The conservative National Review is calling for Roy Moore to drop out of the Alabama Senate race following allegations that he engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor.

In an editorial titled, “Roy Moore Should Drop Out,” the National Review writes that the allegations, first published Thursday by the Washington Post, are “credible,” even though there is “almost certainly no way to independently confirm them.”

“The statute of limitations on Moore’s alleged sexual misconduct long ago expired, but there is no such thing as a statute of limitations on standards,” the editorial reads. “Roy Moore is not a worthy standard-bearer for the Republican party, and his vulnerabilities are now endangering what should be a completely safe Senate seat.”

According to the Post’s report, Moore engaged in sexual conduct with teenage women in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when he was in his early 30s. One woman reported that when she was 14 and Moore was 32, he kissed her and touched her over her underwear.

“He stopped and took her home when she asked, but if Moore did what is described, he committed a crime,” the National Review’s piece reads.

1. Alabama voters don't care about Repub establishment

Everything I've heard in the last 24 hours tells me that people there don't care what the D.C. repubs think. Or anyone else. We are going to have a child molester in the Senate. Goes nicely with a sexual predator in the White House, don't ya think all you fine, moral christian red staters?
