Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) has said he would support a Democrat over embattled Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore in Alabama. On Tuesday, the Arizonan tweeted a photograph of a $100 check he wrote to the campaign of Moore’s opponent, Democrat Doug Jones. Moore has denied the allegations and has resisted calls from Senate GOP leaders to end his campaign. Many local GOP officials have stood by him, even as GOP senators have called for him to step aside.
