Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told attendees at an Alabama rally for GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore on Monday that "there's a special place in hell for Republicans who should know better." Bannon made his comments a day before voters decide whether to send Moore or Democrat Doug Jones to the U.S. Senate. Moore, 70, denies allegations that he sexually pursued teen-age girls when he was in his 30s. Bannon's use of the expression "special place in hell" borrows from a statement President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump made in November condemning child predators. Last month, Ivanka Trump told The Associated Press "there's a special place in hell for people who prey on children." She also said she had "no reason to doubt the victims' accounts," a reference to the Moore allegations. Among the accusations against Moore, a woman said he initiated a sexual relationship with her when she was 14. Another woman accuses him of sexually assaulting her when she was 16.
