Moore supporters tell reporters questioning candidate to hush
Supporters of Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore on Thursday went after members of the media for questioning the candidate during a press conference about allegations that he engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with teenage girls.
BuzzFeed reported that Moore supporters told a CNN reporter to "hush" among other criticism when he asked a question relating to the allegations.
“Hush,” said one of the Moore supporters, according to BuzzFeed. “Stop lying,” said another.
Moore issued a forceful denial at the press conference Thursday with faith leaders from organizations in Alabama and elsewhere who gathered to speak on his behalf.
The candidate held the press conference as more women have came forward in recent days to accuse the former state Supreme Court justice of inappropriate sexual contact with minors.
After the press conference, several women supporting Moore had more to say to the CNN reporter who asked the candidate the question, blasting him for ignoring rules governing the content of questions Moore would answer, according to BuzzFeed.
