Beverly Young Nelson, one of several women who have accused Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual misconduct, told Tom Llamas of ABC News today that it "sickens" her to think that Moore will get elected to the U.S. Senate.
According to Nelson, Moore accosted her after her waitress shift when she was 16-years-old.
“It sickens me to wonder what may go on with him if he gets into office," said Nelson. "Maybe, you know, he could be doing this still. We don’t know. And then again I hope that he’s changed. I pray that he’s changed. I really do.”
And to those who say none of the allegations matter as much as keeping a Republican in the Senate seat for Alabama, Nelson asks, “Is the party more important — really — than what happened?”
ABC News points out that Moore denies even knowing any of his accusers, and his supporters call the women liars.
The report also includes news of a quote from Moore on the campaign trail when Moore was asked for his opinion on when the last time America was “great.”
Moore's response: “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.”
