The head of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) called on Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to step aside on Thursday in the wake of a growing number of women accusing Moore of sexual misconduct.

"I think that Roy Moore should step aside," NRSC Steve Stivers (R-OH) told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day."

"I do believe these women," he said. Stivers, who had previously been raised funds for Moore, joins a growing number of Republicans calling for Moore to give up his Senate bid.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) have both cut fundraising ties with Moore's campaign in the wake of the allegations, while Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) have called on the former judge to step aside.

1. The two republican committees for the House and Senate are worried that Moore will be used in 2018

There is likely a wave election coming and Democrats can use Moore against GOP candidates in 2018

2. For some cynical reason

I think he may still win (with the expectation that the AL GOP would rig it somehow to make it so), which would further embolden the worst of the worst scum.

I hope I am wrong.
