Women who have been lifelong supporters of the Republican Party are quietly defecting to the other side thanks to the GOP’s unwavering support of accused child molester Roy Moore, said The Daily Beast on Wednesday.
Patricia Murphy spoke to a number of women who are voting and even canvassing for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Doug Jones thanks to Moore’s long history of alleged child sex predation, stalking and sexual abuse of young girls.
B. L. Shirley, a retiree from Talladega, has gone from voting Republican in every election since she became an adult to canvassing house-to-house for Jones. When asked why, she flatly says, “Roy Moore.”
“I think Roy Moore is an impostor. I am a Christian and I don’t want to be counted in his camp. He’s a divisive person,” she told Murphy.
“If Jones is to pull off a victory, it will be because women like Shirley knocked on doors, called neighbors, and worked to convince otherwise skeptical voters that his opponent is fundamentally unfit for the office he’s seeking,” wrote Murphy. “A few weeks ago, that seemed like a tall order. As the election nears, it no longer appears quite so improbable.”
