After another woman came forward Monday with sexual misconduct allegations against Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, Moore reportedly threw together a quick press conference for Alamaba news outlets only. During a brief statement, Moore called the allegations “ugly” and denied them outright.

Roy Moore's giving a press conference at 530 EST, apparently. He would have done it later, but it's a school night.

I can't wait for Roy Moore to burst out into a rendition of "And I am telling you I'm not going."

In Roy Moore's press statement just now, he said of Beverly Young Nelson:
"This is absolutely false. I never did what she said I did. I don’t even know the woman. I don’t know anything about her. I don’t even know where the restaurant is or was."— Ben Jacobs (@Bencjacobs) November 13, 2017

I asked Moore if he's prepared to testify under oath, as Beverly Young Nelson is prepared to do. He walked away & didn't answer my question.
