Paul Reynolds, the Republican National Committeeman from Alabama, told The Hill that something about the timing of the accusation and the Post's role breaking the story "doesn't smell right."
"My gosh, it's The Washington Post. If I've got a choice of putting my welfare into the hands of Putin or The Washington Post, Putin wins every time," he said.
"This is going to make Roy Moore supporters step up to the plate and give more, work more and pray more."
Jonathan Gray, an Alabama Republican strategist, noted that Alabama Republicans are not willing to put their Senate seat at risk, arguing that they'd rather vote for anyone over a Democrat.
"I think they'd rather put Satan up there and then get him removed in the next election than lose the chance to correct what they think has been an injustice for eight years," Gray told The Hill.

Where was he during the Cold War? Nobody's stopping him from moving there if that's where his loyalties lie...
