Arizona Senator Jeff Flake signed a $100 check to a Democrat who is running against disgraced Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Moore, a Republican, faces multiple allegations of sexual misconduct from women who say he pursued them when they were between the ages of 14 and 18 and Moore was an assistant district attorney in his early 30s.
“Country over Party,” Flake scrawled on the check, made out to Jones’ Senate campaign.
Thanks Jeff. I hope others will donate too!#OneWeek#RightSideOfHistoryhttps://t.co/DIgY5BjJ3B https://t.co/thnRT4omRM

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
Just Monday, Flake criticized Moore on Twitter, retweeting Mitt Romney to add, “A Roy Moore victory is no victory for the GOP and the nation.”
It’s another pointed rebuke from Flake to President Donald Trump, who this week officially endorsed Moore for the Senate seat previously held by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
As if that weren’t bad enough, the Republican National Committee has also jumped back into the race, throwing their resources behind Moore in spite of the multiple allegations of sexual predation and assault.
