While departing the White House en route to Mar-a-Lago for Thanksgiving, President Trump signaled support for Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore, who has been plagued by sexual allegations from 9 different women.
“We don’t need a liberal Democrat in that seat,” said Trump. “He totally denies [the accusations], you have to listen to him also … we don’t need somebody soft on crime like Jones.”
Why it matters: This signals a major shift in the president’s position. The White House had previously said that Moore should drop out of the race if the allegations are true. But this afternoon, Trump all but told Alabamians they should vote for Moore.
Trump also stated that he has not ruled out campaigning for Moore saying:. “I’ll be letting you know next week.”
I can’t. I just can’t.
Are you actually having the temerity to post this after belittling and victim blaming Terry Crews for his sexual assault claim just a few days ago? I hate Trump as much as anyone, but this is base hypocrisy. Apparently you think victims should only be believed when they can bring down powerful Republicans. If the victim is a male assaulted by another male, you don’t give a shit.
