The language is nearly identical to Trump's, who in recent months has made racially-charged comments about Omar and other minority members of Congress.
she split up a marriage and stated she has not separated from her husband, with whom she has three children.
Omar shot back via Twitter over the resolution calling for her expulsion, telling Alabama's GOP group that if they sought to"clean up politics, maybe don't nominate an accused child molester as your Senate candidate." Moore lost to Democratic Senator Doug Jones by less than two percentage points — or a little more than 20,000 votes — in 2017 in a special election to replace Jeff Sessions, who at the time was tapped by Trump to be attorney general.
During the campaign, several women came forward with allegations that when they were underage teenagers, Moore, in his 30s at the time, engaged in sexual misconduct with them. The accusations proved fatal for the former state supreme court judge, despite Alabama being a conservative stronghold. Although initially defending him back in 2017, Trump and Republicans have since distanced themselves from Moore. His renewed election hopes for 2020 will only do"a disservice to all conservatives across the country," said Donald Trump Jr., the president's eldest son, the day after Moore announced his decision to run.
