An Alabama pastor said that he will continue to support GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, even if it is proven true that he sexually molested teenage girls. Pastor Earl Wise told the Boston Globe that he would continue to support Moore, adding that he thinks the women who have accused Moore have been paid. “I don’t know how much these women are getting paid, but I can only believe they’re getting a healthy sum,” Wise said. Wise said that if the stories were true, the women would have come forward years ago. “There ought to be a statute of limitations on this stuff,” he said. The Boston Globe interviewed nearly 10 evangelical pastors, all of whom said the allegations did not change their support for the candidate. Moore has been praised as a champion of conservative religious values. A group of nearly 60 progressive pastors has denounced Moore, calling him “extremist” and unfit for office. A number of Republicans in Washington, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), have called for Moore to step aside in the race against Democrat Doug Jones. The special election is slated for Dec. 12.
