Notice anything missing from John McCain's denunciation of Roy Moore?

In light of the disturbing news that Roy Moore allegedly had sexual relations with teenage girls when he was in his 30s, several GOP politicians have expressed their concern:

With some also calling for Moore to step down if the allegations are true:

If there is any truth at all to these horrific allegations, Roy Moore should immediately step aside as a Senate candidate.

Sen. John McCain also said Moore should step down:

The allegations against Roy Moore are deeply disturbing and disqualifying. He should immediately step aside and allow the people of Alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of.

Notably, the McCain statement does not have an "if true" caveat. https://t.co/DHKrPTGkRc
