Sexual allegations have taken America by storm. The impact has affected the film industry and the political sphere.
The most controversial in recent days was Roy Moore and some lawmakers in Congress. Moore had been accused by a number of women.
Members of Congress have been accused of similar behaviors towards their female counterparts. But this could all change now after decades of incidents.
Those accused of such misconduct are being asked by their colleagues to resign. Allegations against Moore had shocked many evangelicals who looked up to him.
The problem had reached a point where something needed to be done.
Roy Moore
Albert Mohler is the President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He said “this is one of those excruciating decision moments for evangelicals. These allegations, if true, are devastating. If true, this is a very big deal.”
Robert Franklin is the professor of moral leadership at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology in Atlanta. He said “evangelicals are steadily losing their moral authority in the larger public square by intensifying their uncritical loyalty to Donald Trump.”
“Since this is Roy Moore and not Donald Trump, I think there may be significant disaffection with him, and increased demands for his removal from the ballot,” he said.
