One of the top endorsements that helped Roy Moore gain conservative credibility is now dropping his endorsement in light of recent accusations of sexual misconduct.

Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) has formally announced that he is no longer endorsing the Alabama Republican.

Having read the detailed description of the incidents, as well as the response from Judge Moore and his campaign, I can no longer endorse his candidacy for the US Senate.

This could very well be the opening of the floodgates for Moore as more big name conservatives who did endorse him drop their support.
