Catherine Templeton won't weigh in on Roy Moore controversy: 'We've got enough to deal with'
South Carolina governor candidate Catherine Templeton on Monday would not take a stance on whether Republican Roy Moore should drop out of the Alabama Senate race, saying her attention has been on other issues.
"I think the people of Alabama will make a decision on Roy Moore," Templeton told The Post and Courier following a Charleston County Republican Party meeting, where she was the keynote speaker. "We've got enough to deal with in South Carolina for me to be keeping up with that."
A report in the Washington Post last week published allegations that Moore sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl when he was in his 30s. Four women spoke to The Washington Post on the record, all of them alleging that Moore went out with them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s.
A fifth woman came forward Monday, claiming Moore groped her after offering to give her a ride home in the 1970s when she was 16 and when Moore was a district attorney in Alabama.
