Country over Party
— Jeff Flake (@JeffFlake)
Flake has been outspoken opponent of Roy Moore, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama.Â
Allegations about Moore have surfaced during his campaign, claiming that the candidate had sexually assaulted teenage girls decades ago, including one who said he molested her when she was 14 and he was in his 30s.
Despite the allegations, both the Republican National Committee and President Donald Trump have endorsed Moore. Â
While many national Republicans have called on Moore to step aside in the wake of the allegations, Flake is one of the first senators to prominently show support for Moore's democratic opponent.
