Donald Trump has been pretty silent when it came to the ongoing and well deserved scrutiny directed towards Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore over the multiple allegations against him that he’s a sexual deviant who preyed on young girls. This of course despite good ol’ 45 slamming Al Franken for the Minnesota senator’s own serious problems when it came to sexual harassment and being a downright pervert himself. Additionally this also comes despite Trump’s own problems with sexual harassment and knack for grabbing pussy because he’s famous. This of course was well documented on that now infamous Access Hollywood tape that eventually got Billy Bush fired from NBC and really had no ill effect on Trump’s ascent to the White House.
Anyways, Trump today broke his silence on Moore seemingly endorsing the former Judge in his senatorial bid as one sexual predator indirectly supported an alleged sexual predator’s campaign.
Via CNN:
President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended embattled Alabama Republican Roy Moore, all but endorsing the Senate candidate who has been accused of sexual assault.
“He denies it. Look, he denies it,” Trump said of Moore. “If you look at all the things that have happened over the last 48 hours. He totally denies it. He says it didn’t happen. And look, you have to look at him also.”Several women have come forward and accused Moore of pursuing romantic relationships with them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s, and several others also have accused him of assault.
He has denied the allegations.“We don’t need a liberal person in there, a Democrat, Jones. I’ve looked at his record. It’s terrible on crime. It’s terrible on the border. It’s terrible on military,” Trump said. “I can tell you for a fact we do not need somebody who’s going to be bad on crime, bad on borders, bad for the military, bad for the Second Amendment.”
“Folks, don’t be fooled. He’ll be a vote against tax cuts. He is weak on crime. Weak on borders. He’s strong on raising your taxes. He is terrible for property owners,” Conway told Fox & Friends. “And Doug Jones is a doctrinaire liberal, which is why he’s not saying anything and why the media are trying to boost him.”
Co-host Brian Kilmeade asked her, “So, vote Roy Moore?”
“I’m telling you, we want the votes in the Senate to get this tax bill through,” Conway responded, and she went on to say that if the media were really concerned about the allegations, then Senators Al Franken and Bob Mendendez, both Democrats, would be out of office.
I guess the question is where do you draw the line? Do taxes and partisan politics really take precedent over someone who very well may be a guy who preyed on minors?
It’s also important to keep in mind many republican lawmakers have condemned Moore and do not support his campaign with some even going so far as saying that he may be expelled from the Senate. Trump’s daughter and advisor Ivanka Trump also said that there’s a “special place in Hell” for people who prey on children. If that’s the case, you have the figure there’s also a special place in Hell for those who enable it or endorse those for a Senate seat.
