Drudge has previously labeled Moore “Judge Whore” on his influential news-aggregation website after reports of sexual misconduct allegations against Moore were reported.

Moore was accused of sexual misconduct last month by multiple women, including one woman who said Moore initiated a sexual encounter with her when she was 14 years old and he was 32.

Moore denied the allegations, but he faced calls to drop out of the race from top Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnellAddison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellRyan, McConnell brought props to meeting to talk Trump out of government shutdown: report Booker defies GOP warning, releases another batch of 'confidential' Kavanaugh docs Trump in good shape to secure second Supreme Court confirmation victory MORE (R-Ky.), who supported Strange in the GOP primary.
