Of Moore's accusers, DeLay told Khan: "Certainly, the women should be held to a high standard and should not be attacked.
"But this needs to play out," he said. "Roy Moore has this election as the only way he can save his reputation and stave off all the character assassination.
"So, my advice to all these people who are not from Alabama is you can comment on it and you have an opinion about, it but let the people of Alabama decide.
"And they will decide."
