'If You Can't Do This Then Get Out': Hannity Gives Roy Moore 24 Hours To Explain 'Inconsistencies'

Sean Hannity said that, in light of inconsistencies in his recollection of sexual misconduct allegations against him, Judge Roy Moore (R-Ala.) should be given 24 hours to fully explain the situations or bow out of his Senate race.

"You know I do not and will never rush to judgment, because we have seen the media and politicians get it wrong so many times," he said.

But, he said that in light of new information from an accuser of Moore's, the public should be troubled by a few things in the case.

Hannity said he had to ask Moore several times about whether he dated teenage girls as a man in his 30s, until the judge answered concisely.

Also, Hannity played tape of Moore saying an accuser who was flanked by attorney Gloria Allred made allegations about him that were "absolutely false," adding that he did not know the woman.

Hannity said a subsequent report showing the woman's old yearbook containing a note and signature from Moore appeared to corroborate the woman's allegation.

"For me, the judge has 24 hours. You must immediately and fully come up with a satisfactory explanation for your inconsistencies that I just showed," Hannity said.

He said Moore owes Alabamians and all Americans a full cogent explanation of the circumstances.

Moore currently faces Democrat Doug Jones in the December special election to replace now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

I hope you are right. I hope I’m not giving people the impression I don’t believe Judge Moore. I think there are all kinds of holes in the stories and it looks like a hit job.

This story from WKRG in Mobile, they have the actual robo-calls, someone calling and identifying themselves as a WaPO reporter, offering $ 5,000 - $ 7,000 for dirt of Moore. So credible, that even the WaPO had to make a statement, this person making the calls does not work for the WaPo.

THis points to some sort of organized campaign to get Moore.

Anyone can write on a website, she accused others, we need names and the people to come forward, especially if one of them is a pastor

He claimed he didn’t know her at all- well there is a document which indicates he did...and it was a very personal note to her. Is it a forgery? Or was it actually written to someone else and she is presenting as her own? If not, the “it was 40 years ago and I can’t remember” doesn’t cut it - if you write something that personal you would remember it and at least the person - and certainly you would after seeing it again. Then, like he did in the disastrous interview the other day, he made qualifying statements that have nothing to do with refuting allegations you sexually assaulted someone “I don’t even know where the restaurant is or was” just muddies the waters...there is no point in saying that. Whether you ate or didn’t eat at a particular restaurant has nothing to do with whether or not you sexually assaulted someone...quite a minor detail to single out and deny and it was a statement he just volunteered - not even in response to a question.

Now, Hannity has stated he needs to clear up his statements and explain the document - because unless it a forgery, he clearly not only knew her, but knew her as more than just a passing acquaintance, but he claimed to not know her at all. He has to address this document and the discrepancy of his own comments - if he has nothing to hide then there is no reason to act like he does. Getting angry at Hannity for raising a very valid and serious point is a logical and moral failing on your part and not on Hannity’s, and it is dishonest and ridiculous to suggest otherwise. Hannity nor anyone else is responsible for Moore’s responses which raise more questions than they answer and apparently are less than forthright. “It’s the GOPe!” “It’s the establishment!” etc. doesn’t address this reality. These women could all be lying but that also doesn’t explain why Moore apparently isn’t being straight with us either. Why can’t you all admit that? And why are you viciously and personally attacking any person who dares ask that these discrepancies be addressed and clarified? You should be embarrassed. This is the way the Left has historically behaved. Just scream over facts and logic hoping they will go away and then try to intimidate those who dare utter them.

And again, if these women are making all of this up, it is a smear vicious enough that they should all be personally sued - regardless of the fact he is a “public figure.” He’s threatened to sue the Washington Post - even if they paid for the stories that isn’t enough - the ones actually making the allegations of sexual assault should definitely be sued for defamation and answer for their lies in court if they are in fact making all of this up...if this is all made up it is flat out evil to smear someone so viciously and they must be held to account.

Sean should start worrying less about Keurig coffee and more about his viewers. He’s climbing on board the Swamp Express.
So Roy Moore claims that has been defamed and he also has to prove the defamation? That’s what Hannity is saying, “Prove the `inconsistencies’”.
Saul Goodman, Esq. could show that all Moore (or any plaintiff) has to prove is damage to his reputation; OTOH, the defendant has to prove that the statements are true ... but that’s just hundreds of years of Anglo-American jurisprudence.

I’m convinced the networks grow guys like Sean, Geraldo, Brian and (our pet) Dan on a tree in Escondido, like avocados. Sean should call Saul/

she supposedly has accused 3 pastors- and tried to sue another one apparently-

Also- her story claims that she called moore ‘on the phone in her bedroom’ to make arrangement to see when when the alleged incident took place- but her mother disputes that, saying her daughter did not have a phone in her room-

I dunno- on the one hand I don’t want to dismiss the girl IF something did infact happen- but on the other I hate seeing someone destroyed over innuendo/accusations with no proof. The problem is that it will be nearly impossible to prove anything did happen- and the GOP knows this- and so the GOP are banding together now and trying to destroy moore simply because of ‘the seriousness of the charges’ regardless of the fact that there is no proof

I did not watch the press conference. I thought they held the yearbook up to the camera. I have seen pictures of them holding it up. Wouldn’t that be in color & someone could zoom in and see if there were two colors of ink ?

Has anyone gone back and looked at the that part of the video, then zoomed in. It wouldn’t be hard to see two colors.

God I hope there are two inks, that would blow her out of the water. Of course even if it all was in black ink, there are still other signs it could be forged.

No man can prove a negative. This would include Blow Harddity Hannity, were he to be found in the same unfounded and uncorroborated situation of Roy Moore, today.

It is outrageous to harrumph about complaints of vulgarities and flirtations, possibly even fantasies, from 40 years ago.

None of these gals even make a claim of force or harm inflicted against their person by Judge Moore. Suppose he was an outrageous flirt, nevertheless, to be held to the standards of today to the LEGAL standards that prevailed in the South forty years ago is unreasonable and outrageous.

Moore and his professional record are on the ballot. I pray Alabama does not throw it away for a Democrat, and I don’t believe they will. Not in these times.
