Shortly after an interview with Sean Hannity aired in which Roy Moore attempted to bat down allegations of sexual misconduct, two Republican senators withdrew their endorsements of his candidacy. "Having read the detailed description of the incidents, as well as the response from Judge Moore and his campaign, I can no longer endorse his candidacy for the US Senate," Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT.) wrote on Twitter. Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) echoed the sentiment in his own tweet, saying "I am pulling my endorsement and support for Roy Moore for U.S. Senate."
