November 10: [Fox News'] Sean Hannity
interview ... with former Alabama chief justice Roy S. Moore, now running for a
Senate seat from that state ...
In a particularly damning exchange, Hannity asked Moore if he’d had a habit of
dating teenage girls. “Do you remember dating girls that young at that time?”
“Not generally, no,” Moore said. “If I did, I’m not going to dispute anything,
but I don’t remember anything like that.”
Trump could not have watched the segment live, as he was shown arriving at a
forum in Vietnam. But when he does get around to viewing the program, he will
surely recognize that Moore has become a distraction [to the Republican party].
Not only that, but the allegations against Moore serve only to remind that a
dozen women have made allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump himself.

November 13: Two of the women say that they
first met Moore at the Gadsden Mall, and the Post
reports that several other women who used to work there remembered Moore’s
frequent presence—“usually alone” and “well-dressed in slacks and a button-down
shirt.”
November 21:
President Donald Trump on Tuesday
defended embattled Alabama Republican Roy Moore, all but endorsing the Senate
candidate who has been accused of sexual assault.
November 22: Roy Moore's Senate campaign
quickly seized on President Donald Trump's apparent support for the embattled
Alabama GOP nominee, parroting Trump's attacks on Moore's Democratic rival while
trying to put the sexual misconduct allegations that have dominated the race in
recent weeks on the back-burner.

November 22:
[In a contradiction to Donald Trump's reaction], Republican Rep.
Scott Taylor (R-Va.) ripped Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore on Wednesday,
telling CNN he would have physically attacked Moore if he had sexually assaulted
his own daughter.
"The 14-year-old girl that was there, I can tell you right now if it was my
daughter, I'd break his face, I'd break his fingers, and I'd probably do a lot
worse," Taylor told CNN's John Berman, referring to allegations of Moore's
sexual misconduct with a 14 year old in the 70s, when he was 32.
November 23: President Donald Trump's
decision to speak out in Roy Moore's defense was "sickening" and "beyond
stupid," according to former Republican National Committee chairman Michael
Steele.
December 5: Republican Sen. Jeff Flake,
who's been adamantly opposed to Republican Alabama Senate hopeful Roy Moore,
posted a photo Tuesday of a check with his signature on it that was addressed to
Moore's Democratic rival, Doug Jones.
December 7:
Now that Donald Trump has signaled that he believes
Roy Moore should be the new face of the Republican Party on Capitol Hill, he has
placed every one of his fellow Republican leaders in a tough position.
They must take a stand. That stand can be with Trump and Moore and a vision of a
Grand Old Party that will embrace even its most reprehensible candidates as
better choices than the most honorable Democrats. Or it can be with a vision not
just of the GOP but of American politics as a higher endeavor that seeks to
address rather than extend the nation’s challenges.

December 8: Alabama voters struggle with
whether to support Roy Moore ... Accusations that the Republican nominee for a
US Senate seat from Alabama pursued relationships with teenagers, molested a
14-year-old and sexually assaulted a 16-year-old when he was in his 30s have
thrown Tuesday's special election race into chaos.
Republican leadership in Capitol Hill, the Republican National Committee and the
White House for a time appeared to dump his candidacy -- but now President
Donald Trump, as well as party resources, are firmly back behind Moore, a former
chief justice of the state Supreme Court, and his supporters predict a win.

December 8: A comment Moore made at a
Florence, Ala., rally in September resurfaced Thursday and struck a chord with
many users on the social networking site [Twitter], including African-American
celebrities and politicians. At the rally, an African-American audience member
asked Moore when America was last “great,”
the Los Angeles Times reported in September. Moore responded in a
way that appeared to condone, or at least downplay the impact of, slavery, the
Times reported.
“I think it was great at the time when families were united — even though we had
slavery — they cared for one another…. Our families were strong, our country had
a direction,” Moore said

December 8: Beverly Young Nelson admitted
to ABC News that she added “notes” beneath what she says is Roy Moore’s
signature in her high school yearbook – an inscription that she and famed
attorney Gloria Allred presented as proof the then-30-something Moore sought an
inappropriate relationship with her in the late 1970s. The “notes” below the
signature appear to be the handwritten date and location. Nelson still insisted
that Moore wrote most of the message.
“Beverly indicates she added that to remind herself of who Roy Moore was and
where and when Mr. Moore signed her yearbook,” Allred said.
December 11: Former President Barack Obama
is making an eleventh-hour bid for Democrat Doug Jones in the Alabama Senate
race against Republican Roy Moore,
CNN reports. "This one's serious," the former president says in a robocall
to voters ahead of Tuesday's election. "You can't sit it out."
December 13: [After Trump endorsed Roy Moore
and Moore lost the open Alabama Senate seat to Democrat Doug Jones]: "The
reason I originally endorsed Luther Strange [Alabama Republican who lost in
September runoff] (and his numbers went up mightily), is that I said Roy Moore
will not be able to win the General Election," he [Trump] wrote on Twitter. "I
was right! Roy worked hard but the deck was stacked against him!"

December 13:
America is a young country. We measure our history in decades, sometimes
minutes. Last night, history changed when Alabama elected a
Democrat, senator Doug Jones, for the first time in 25 years.
