“This was bad behavior 40 years ago, this is bad behavior today. If I was in the private sector I'd terminate this guy,” he told reporters on Wednesday.

Contrast that with the view of President Donald Trump, who on Tuesday all but endorsed Moore, the guy accused of molesting 14- and 16-year-old girls and trying to start a relationship with three other teens when he was twice their age.

“He totally denies it," Trump said. “He says it didn't happen.”

Apparently, the fact that Moore would vote for Trump’s agenda trumps the disturbing possibility of a man accused of molesting teenage girls serving in the Senate.

“We don't need a liberal person in there, a Democrat,” Trump said.

The national Republican Party has abandoned Moore. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell opposes him as do both Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake.
