Can the Republicans claim any high ground – or separation from the president -- after the party decided to support Roy Moore? A roundup of editorials Thursday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the left:

1. The GOP is the Party of Roy Moore - the accused pedophile

From nj.com: How is there a place for Roy Moore in the Senate if he got kicked out of an Alabama mall?

2. Moore Disgrace for the GOP

From U.S. News and World Report: Why would the GOP choose to support a man with such allegations against him? Because they need his vote, that’s why.

3. Roy Moore, Donald Trump and the end of all Republican moral authority

From The Baltimore Sun: It’s clear that Republicans are all-in with President Donald Trump and his values.
