The New York Daily News mocked Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) after his loss in Tuesday’s special election.
“SCREW YOU & HORSE YOU RODE IN ON,” the cover reads, alongside a photo of Moore riding his horse to the polls.
The cover follows Moore’s stunning loss to Democratic opponent Doug Jones in the race to fill the Senate seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
{mosads}Moore refused to concede to Jones late Tuesday night, saying “when the vote is this close, it is not over.”
Moore was accused of sexual misconduct last month by multiple women, including one woman who said Moore initiated a sexual encounter with her when she 14 years old and he was in his 30s.
He denied the allegations, but lost endorsements from several sitting Republican senators and saw the Senate GOP’s campaign arm drop its support for him.
President Trump offered full-throated support for Moore, holding a rally near Alabama’s border to fire up supporters, recording a robocall in support of Moore and using his Twitter to attack Jones as a “Schumer/Pelosi puppet.”
But Jones’s victory deals a blow to Trump and Senate Republicans, whose advantage in the Senate shrinks to a 51-49 margin.
