Trump has repeatedly declined to follow Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan in calling on Moore to quit the race. More than a dozen allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct were levelled against Trump in the waning days of the 2016 presidential campaign. In a pair of tweets Thursday night, Trump spotlighted the accusations against Franken, saying the photo "speaks a thousand words." Sincerely, Al Franken," Tweeden read. They also suggested that Trump was wary of wading into issues of sexual impropriety given the previous claims against him.
