Roy Moore Tweets at McConnell the 'Fight Has Just Begun'

Scandal-scarred Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore darkly predicted Tuesday that Kentucky GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell's leadership will soon be over, vowing "the fight has just begun."

Alabamians will not be fooled by this #InsideHitJob. Mitch McConnell's days as Majority Leader are coming to an end very soon. The fight has just begun. https://t.co/unVysRKDKz

The tweet followed an earlier post with the hashtag #DitchMitch.

The good people of Alabama, not the Washington elite who wallow in the swamp, will decide this election! #DitchMitch

Moore's tweet attacks come as the former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice faces allegations of sexual misconduct in the 1970s, which he has denied.

McConnell, who last week said that Moore should step aside if the allegations are true, on Monday said he believes Moore's accusers.

For his part, Moore has the backing of Breitbart News official and former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon, a critic of McConnell.
