Chris Murphy: It Was a ‘Pretty Bizarre Press Conference’ by the Roy Moore Campaign

‘I agree it’s a pretty bizarre press conference’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
BLITZER: "I want to bring in democratic senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. He’s a member of the foreign relations committee. So what’s your reaction, senator? I assume you heard what the attorney representing Roy Moore just said."
MURPHY: "Yeah, I did. I agree it’s a pretty bizarre press conference. The fact of the matter is whether Roy Moore decides to drop out or not, his name isn’t coming off of that ballot so when people go to vote in Alabama, they are going to see two names. They are going to see Roy Moore and they are going to see Doug Jones, and in the end, you know, we also have to spend some time talking about what a quality candidate Doug Jones is. This is a moderate Democrat rooted in Alabama, somebody that prosecuted the KKK, just has a lifetime of community service. This isn’t just a referendum on Roy Moore. In my mind, he was unqualified to be in the United States Senate before the allegations, somebody who has ignored the Constitution, says that muslims shouldn’t be able to serve in government, thinks abortion should be illegal and criminalized. They have the opportunity to look at a great democratic candidate as well and I hope that do that."
