President Trump on Thursday believes Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore “will do the right thing and step aside” if the sexual misconduct allegations against him are true, the White House said in a statement.

Your two-word answer was the first thing that came to my mind as well when I heard the “news” yesterday.

Same with big leftist $upporter, Hollywood Harvey W. Where were all these outraged lefties during the Clinton perjury and sex scandal? Fake morality to go with their fake standards and fake outrage.

[ImNotLying]

I agree with you, and I was being sarcastic of course in the comparison with Ted Kennedy. Where were all the outcries from his fellow Congressmen when his event happened?

[grey_whiskers]

Any time these type accusations are made the Republicans should have a two-word answer: “Bill Clinton.”

And why did they make Denny Hastert Speaker of the House when he was illegally using structuring, to cover up hush money payments, to a teenage boy he molested?

President Trump can’t “stay out of this.” His silence would be taken as an implicit acknowledgement that the allegations are true.

[momincombatboots]

Well.. he didn’t say that, being the first GOP out against Moore.

[piasa]

Goes right to the beginning of the country

True or not, the senate will still have to allow him to be seated if he wins. The way it sounds, that will never happen. He’s facing a no-win situation.

[frnewsjunkie]

An allegation from that many years ago, should be thrown back in the dem’s and mcconnell’s face. Bring up every lefty case of corruption ... bill clinton and ted kennedy, for starters.

This is a smearing of a man they want out. Accusations from anyone that far back .. why now... it’s obvious.

President Trump can’t “stay out of this.” His silence would be taken as an implicit acknowledgement that the allegations are true.

Sure he can. He should have stayed out of the whole primary to begin with.

[ronnie raygun]

Just the rats and scum piubes tagging him is enough to cast doubt and they know it, the turtle man and ryan must go. Rats forgive each other and go about their day unscathed and accepted by the media anyone else dammed to hell

[Dont tread and Live]

Excellent point

[9YearLurker]

I don’t know, but the press clearly stuffed the truth when it came to truthful allegations against Bill and Hill.

Trump I think is the first pol to have shaken off a full MSM crush of allegations appearing from nowhere.

[kabar]

Ted Kennedy

[Karl Spooner]

I remember Wilbur Mills in 74.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

This is a coordinated attack on Judge Moore by swamp elites using unsubstantiated claims from an untrustworthy newspaper.

It’s classic McConnell.

[madison10]

Agree.

[itsahoot]

then nothing would have come of it.

He needs a neck brace.

[Kevin C]

I tweeted Trump and chastised him for throwing a good man Roy under the establishment bus.

So, you are saying that Moore should stay in the race even if this turns out to be true?

[dmcnash]

My Bad. The good thing about getting old is you remember this stuff, the bad part is remembering not so clearly.

So let's go back to Andrew Jackson and the charge of bigamy?

[rdcbn]

I'm getting tired of these unverifiable he said, she didn't say anything until 40 years after the fact accusations.

Heck, most people involved have to be in their mid seventies - if they are even still alive.

And this is not like the Harvey Weinstein situation where Weinstein’s control of access to prestigious , multi million dollar film roles allowed him control peoples lives, with the help Kroll ex CIA, FBI and NSA and BlackCube ex Mossad spies and enforcers.

Roy Moore held no power over this woman that would keep her from coming forward at any time over the last 40 years
