Sure, Sean may have been virtue signaling and he also may have planned his rep saving Moore questions inartfully. Sean ain’t perfect.
However, he went into the interview in full support of Moore. MOORE IS SUPPOSED TO BE SMART AND IN PURSUIT OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE. It is 100% Moore’s fault that Hannity couldn’t clear him of the allegations, because Hannity was trying to, Moore was lucky to get that interview.
And there are only two reasons for Moore to lie like he did about his “memory.” 1. He had some interactions in his 30s that were not pure or legal. 2. He is too dumb to have been a high court judge, deciding he could show up to Hannity and just act shifty and that would go over well.
And dats da name of dat tune. The deplorables of Alabama didn’t buy it.
It seemed to me a Christian who was more formulaic than spiritual. And Jesus complained about that sort of thing to Jewish audiences.
As you Jewish folks might put it, Roy appeared to come a skosh shy of acting the mensch.
