Moore has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, including one who alleges he initiated a sexual encounter with her when she was 14 and he was 32. Another woman accused Moore of sexually assaulting her when she was 16.

Moore has denied the allegations, calling them a political ploy to sabotage his campaign.

Gardner’s remarks come after the Republican National Committee reinstated its support for Moore earlier this week after initially cutting ties over the sexual misconduct allegations.



Trump offered a full-throated endorsement of Moore on Monday, tweeting his support and then calling Moore from Air Force One.

The Moore campaign said Trump told Moore “Go get 'em Roy” before ending the call.

Moore is currently leading Democratic opponent Doug Jones by 2.3 points, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls. The special election is set for Tuesday.
