The Washington Post dropped a bombshell report about Moore on Thursday alleging he kissed a 14-year-old girl in 1979 when Moore was in his early thirties. The report also alleges Moore propositioned other underage girls between the ages of 16 and 18.
This is the latest in a flood of Republican elected officials calling for Moore to drop out and/or saying they won’t work with him if elected.
Whether or not Lee granted permission for his likeness to be used remains unclear. However, it’s still not a good look for Moore as it appears as a distancing by Lee and good for Sen. Lee.
