INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indiana Sen. Todd Young joined a growing chorus of Republicans calling on embattled Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore to drop out of the race.
Moore has been accused of having sexual contact with two teenage girls and pursuing three others decades ago. But so far he has denied the allegations, first reported by The Washington Post, and refuses to drop out of the Alabama Senate race.
Young said in a series of tweets Monday that the allegations "remain far more persuasive" than Moore's denials.
After giving Roy Moore ample time to unequivocally deny the disturbing allegations against him, those allegations remain far more persuasive than the denials. Roy Moore should immediately drop out of the race. (1/2)

The appearance of grossly reprehensible behavior disqualifies him from service in the United States Senate. If he does not step aside, we need to act to protect the integrity of the Senate (2/2)

Young says that "disqualifies" Moore from serving in the Senate. He also said that if Moore does not step aside, the Senate will "need to act" to protect its integrity.
Moore has said he is the victim of a "witch hunt."
