There are three Republican Senators still endorsing Moore. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz of Texas along with Rand Paul from Kentucky are still for the moment endorsing Moore.
The endorsement pullout is interesting because it comes at the same time as conservative media heavyweights like Sean Hannity and Steve Bannon are defending Moore. Alabama Republicans have also come to the defense of Moore, but the Republican Party is deeply divided and on the cusp of a full-blown civil war over their Senate nominee in the Alabama special election. The Republicans with any morals left are calling for Moore to step down, while those who only care about the tax cut bill are trying to dodge the entire issue.
One should not hold out hope for Republicans to do the right thing when it comes to Roy Moore. If a political party will sell itself out to Putin to win a presidential election, the odds of them taking a firm stand against a child molester in their midst is slim to none.
