Washington Post columnist George Will said in a new op-ed that President Trump Donald John TrumpOmar fires back at Trump over rally remarks: 'This is my country' Pelosi: Trump hurrying to fill SCOTUS seat so he can repeal ObamaCare Trump mocks Biden appearance, mask use ahead of first debate MORE is now the nation's worst president.

Will, a conservative pundit who is often critical of Trump, ripped the president for supporting Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, who faced sexual misconduct allegations.

Will said Moore's actions as a public official "by themselves sufficed to disqualify him from any pubic office."

"He is an anti-constitutional recidivist, twice removed from Alabama’s highest court for his theocratic insistence that his religious convictions take precedence over U.S. Supreme Court decisions, so he could not have sincerely sworn to 'support and defend the Constitution' and to 'bear true faith and allegiance to the same,'" he wrote.

Will wrote that when Democratic nominee Doug Jones defeated Moore in the Alabama special election on Tuesday, a "gross national embarrassment" was narrowly avoided.

"But curb your enthusiasm because nationally, as in Alabama, most Republicans still support the president who supported the credibly accused child molester," he wrote.

"After the president’s full-throated support of the grotesque, he should be icily shunned by all but his diehard collaborators."

Will wrote that Trump's support of Moore earned him the ranking of the "nation's worst president."

"By joining Stephen K. Bannon’s buffoonery on Moore’s behalf, the 45th president planted an exclamation point punctuating a year of hitherto unplumbed presidential depths," he wrote, referring to the former White House chief strategist and current head of Breitbart News.

"He completed his remarkably swift — it has taken less than 11 months — rescue of the 17th, Andrew Johnson, from the ignominy of ranking as the nation’s worst president."

Trump earlier this month endorsed Moore in the Alabama Senate race, despite the multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against him. Moore has repeatedly denied the allegations that he had inappropriate contact with women when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s.
