Rep Peter King: Moore Must ‘Prove His Innocence’ or ‘Step Down’
Breitbart ^ | 10 Nov 2017 | PAM KEY

Posted on 11/11/2017 5:52:54 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Friday on MSNBC, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) said Alabama Republican U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore should “prove his innocence” of sexual abuse accusations or “step down.”

King said, “Ordinarily, the person is entitled to the presumption of innocence. But in this case, it’s so serious, and the fact it’s backed up by other women, and it’s so hideous, I would say unless he can prove his innocence, the burden is on him within the next day, or so, he should step down. He owes it to the state and the U.S. Senate.”

Here’s the reality. Not even the accusers claim abuse. They just claim he dated young women with the permission of parents and never forced himself on anyone. Dating a young woman isn’t a crime. It is considered unseemly especially today but when the age of consent is 16 and the parents approve then even if it is unseemly it isn’t a crime. What would be a crime is if he had sex with a 14 year old and the woman does not claim that she instead claims he took her home when asked. A real pedophile wouldn’t have. Phil Robertson’s wife was 14 when they married. I’m not saying it is a good thing but its not always criminal.

The core issue is that today 40 years later we have to weigh is whether we are going to let allegations where even the women don’t claim to have been abused or assaulted and we have no way of proving or disproving the allegations which Moore denies. Even if true I don’t believe it rises to the point where we simply throw away a Senate seat over allegations when even his most recent opponent Luther Strange could not find any hard evidence to convince him to use the rumors. I don’t think so. America is worth more than throwing away SCOTUS appointments and our political agenda over dates with young women.

We can not have a low standard of proof on these things. If we did Clinton would be President and her truly depraved husband would be sitting in the White House with her. Let us not forget that he settled the sexual harassment case filed by Paula Jones (a campaign worker). Right now Moore if he sticks to the issues and hammers the media ala Trump he will survive and win. The people of Alabama understand pro life issues and understand what the Supreme Court means. This is Alabama and Alabama nor we owe the WaPo nor Democrats who covered for a true predator in chief any explanation.

These pols are putting themselves in a bad position when Moore is elected. I believe they will refuse to seat him. If they succeed in keeping him from serving after being duly elected they will be greatly emboldened to totally stonewall everything that Trump wants in Congress. They will stop confirming any appointments at all.

That is the issue. McCain was accused. George H W Bush was accused of shit. William Jefferson Clinton did everything in the fucking book and he remained President. The Bush’s adore his ass now.

How about this, Jones drops out and is replaced with Strange on the dem line.

Dems care about “keeping this pervert out” so they’d go for that deal, right?

Wait what, winning the seat with a socialist RAT is what they ACTUALLY care about? They wouldn’t vote for Ted Cruz if Beto O’Rourke was an AX MURDERER you say?

F***ing hypocrites. Come on dems, “Put country before party™” and give up your attempt to steal the seat, for the “greater good”.

You guys are overlooking the most-damning aspect of the "Peter King Sex Scandal" (I mean, it is an official scandal now that so many different people are talking about it, right?)

The most worrisome thing is not whether King raped and killed his college roommate - it's that the American public doesn't know whether it's true or false!

Let's end this national nightmare for once and all and demand that Peter King immediately step down until a Special Prosecutor proves his innocence!

Regards,

It’s rumored some ago Peter King engages in relations with the beasts of the field. Unless he can prove his innocence, stepping down is the right thing for him to do.

Unless Peter king can prove his innocence, the burden is on him within the next day, or so, to step down. He owes it to the state and the U.S. House of Representatives.

Peter King decided to trash one of the most basic tenets of our justice system, and for pretty low reasons. That’s what happened.
