Toomey calls on Moore to step aside: 'Accusations have more credibility than the denial'

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) said Sunday that the allegations of sexual impropriety against Roy Moore seem to be stronger than the Republican Alabama Senate candidate's denials.

“We’ll probably never know for sure exactly what happened. But from my point of view, you know, I have to say I think the accusations have more credibility than the denial. I think it would be best if Roy would just step aside,” Toomey said on NBC’s “Meet The Press."

A 53-year-old woman accused Moore of initiating sexual contact with her in 1979, when she was 14 and he was 32, The Washington Post reported. Three other women also said Moore approached them around the same time, when they were between the ages of 16 and 18.

Moore has denied the allegations, saying they are “completely false,” and suggesting it is a smear campaign. Toomey on Sunday called the allegation “unprovable, probably,” but said there’s enough in the report that “it’s very disturbing.”

questioned adversarially. For an attorney and former DA he was far from impressive with Hannity. He keeps denying and calling the woman a liar, he is going to be facing a slander lawsuit.
