Roy Moore seizes on Al Franken groping allegations
Fox News ^ | 11/16/2017 | Alex Pappas

Posted on 11/16/2017 11:04:31 AM PST by Trump20162020

Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore reacted to the groping allegations made against Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken on Thursday by arguing a double standard is at play.

In a tweet, Moore, who is facing calls to drop of the Senate race after multiple women have accused him of sexual misconduct in the past, attacked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell over his differing responses.

Moore tweeted: “Al Franken admits guilt after photographic evidence of his abuse surfaces. Mitch: ‘Let's investigate.’ In Alabama, ZERO evidence, allegations 100% rejected. Mitch: ‘Moore must quit immediately or be expelled.’”

I am all for Judge Moore, until he is PROVEN guilty. But I think at the present moment, he’d be much better advised to put every effort into proving the accusations against himself untrue and fictitious, rather than pointing fingers at other possible perps. THEY WILL be dealt with; without input from him.

Dems and ‘Pubs are now demanding an ethics investigation of Franken. And it couldn’t happen to a creepier guy, IMO. Roy Moore now has them by the short hairs, and whereas there’s proof of Franken’s dirty deed, the “proof” of Moore’s accusations, have pretty well been debunked, since Allcrud refuses to allow an independent expert to examine her “proof”, and the mall manager has come forward and stated Moore had NOT been banned from the mall, as the other phony victims had claimed. Pray without ceasing. The swamp dwellers are desperate, and things are down for them, like pants around their ankles.

The swampers are demanding an “ethics investigation” because that will bury the story in red tape.

Under our principles of justice Moore is innocent and need prove nothing.

I think old Al’s behavior is going to have a domino effect, just like Weinstein.

Agreed. And the 40 year old mud that they are slinging at Moore is darned near impossible to prove or disprove. With no evidence other than recollections of what may have happened 40 years ago, I’ll go with the known character and actions of the Judge these past 20+ years.

Of course not. But its at least a bit refreshing for a politician to actually take responsibility for what they did instead of some idiotic defense

I’m a firm believer that this whole Roy Moore issue has and is being orchestrated by McConnell and his cronies.

Well....if he doesn’t stand up for himself, nobody else will. That’s a lead pipe cinch. That’s the condition in our legal world nowadays.
