Jones seeking support of women in Alabama Senate race

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Democrat Senate candidate Doug Jones drew a line between himself and Republican nominee Roy Moore on Wednesday as he sided with women making sexual misconduct allegations against men of both parties.

Sen. Al Franken should resign after being accused of sexual improprieties by multiple women, Jones said in response to a reporter's question, and women accusing Moore of misconduct decades ago likewise deserve to be believed, despite Moore's denials.

"I applaud the women who have come forward against Roy Moore. And I think it's time that those women be believed, just like the women who are coming out against Senator Franken, Representative (John) Conyers and others," said Jones.
