he said he does remember two other women in the "post" story gloria thacker deason and debbie wesson gibson, but he doesn't remember dating them and denies giving alcohol to the underage deason as she alleges. in gadsden, alabama, where moore allegedly met the teenaged girls nearly four decades ago, reactions to the "post" story are all over the map. madison canon summed up her feelings in a word. >> disgusting. it's disgusting that a grown man would take advantage of a girl. >> i think it's all made up. >> reporter: elmer cox has lived here all his life. he said he'll vote for moore even if the story is true. republican state auditor jim ziegler defended moore by invoking jesus christ. republican ?ait representative ed henry criticized moore's accusers, telling an alabama newspaper: president trump was less forgiving of moore. white house press secretary sarah sanders spoke for him while traveling in asia. >> reporter: most top republicans in the senate agree, and the republican senate campaign committee today stopped raising money for moore. an attorney for gloria deason, one of th

and gloria thacker deason said she was an 18-year-old cheerleader when moore took her out on dates. they drank wine but that would have been illegal at the time because drinking age in alabama then was 19. moore has said he, quote, has not been guilty of sexual misconduct with anyone. his campaign has also called the allegations a politically motivated witch hunt. >> the drinking under age thing if true is one of those things people say happen all the time. generally speaking not with a district attorney. joining us now from alabama is nbc's katie beck. we have to draw attention to one thing here. the state republicans met about the scandal yesterday. they had told vaughn hilliard last week, we're not going to do anything about this. there's no change until he gets elected. underscore, they did meet and they did take a decision all the same information we in the media have to take no action against roy moore. >> correct. that 21-member steering committee did meet last night. and they took no action as expected. that is a signal they are still supporting roy moore as a candidate. and

as you well know, lee coffman, wendy miller, debbie watson gibson, glory thacker decemberen and beverly young nelson, these young women have accused this individual, judge moore, who is running for a federal office, the united states senate, of child sexual activity. do you believe these young women? mr. sessions: i have no reason to doubt these young women. ms. jackson lee: if that in mind, if you believe these young women, do you believe judge moore should be seated in the senate, if he wins? and will you introduce investigations by the dodge regarding his actions? -- d.o.j. regarding his actions? mr. sessions: we'll evaluate every case as to whether or not it should be investigated. this kind of case would normally be a state case. i would say, representative jackson lee, that the ethics people at the department of justice, and i've talked to them about that when this campaign started, it's the seat i used to hold, they advised me that the attorney general should not be involved in this campaign. i have friends in the campaign. ms. jackson lee: thank you, mr. general. mr. sessions: i
