Sean Hannity was the friendliest possible interviewer that Roy Moore could have chosen to defend himself from accusations that he fondled a 14-year-old girl. Despite the host teeing up softballs for him, Moore flubbed his chance to put the controversy to rest, failing to completely deny dating teenage girls when in his 30s and claiming forgetfulness when trying to deny specific allegations.
The money quote:
"Let me ask you this, you do remember these girls? Would it be unusual for you as a 32-year-old guy to have dated a woman as young as 17? That would be a 15-year difference... or a girl 18. Do you remember dating girls that young at that time?" Hannity asked. "Not generally, no," Moore answered. "If did, you know, I'm not going to dispute anything but I don't remember anything like that."

He’s toast. The only thing left is to admire the hits ruthlessness and precision. A half truth + a complete lie blended together to a precise balance.
I’m not a fan of Hannity. He’s not terribly bright.
The age of consent in Alabama today is 16. This story is nothing except for the accusations that he got fresh with a 14 year old. And apparently that particular accuser is not a very credible source.
From a legal and a Biblical view there is nothing wrong with a 40 year old man dating a 17 year old woman. There may be some practical pitfalls.
There u go again.
I gave u an opportunity to demand the accuser go under a live
interview, just as Judge Moore did so her answers can be judged
as well.
Yet, you only want 1 interview to seal the deal for you.
I would not hold my breath on Moore stepping aside and your
boy Mo Brooks stepping in, which is really what this is all about
for Mo Brooks supporters here.
Jerry Lee Lewis married a 13-year-old at age 22 and took some heat for that.
I know a very happily married couple those were their ages when they started dating, but they also kept it on the down low until she turned 20. 33 and 20 sounds far less controversial than 32 and 19 - 20 sounds much more “adult”. Depends on the individuals involved and the motives behind starting the relationship. He was very seriously looking for someone to have a permanent relationship with, not a fling, and wasn’t looking for a 19 year old in particular...they just caught each other’s eye and became acquainted. The rest is history.
I wish she would interview. I want the truth to come out.
Roy was given an opportunity to totally dismiss the charges. He fumbled.
Doesn’t recall asking out and making out with high school girls when he’s in his 30s? That would be so easy for me to reply. I HAVE NEVER EVER DATED, MADE OUT WITH, OR ASKED OUT HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS WHEN I WAS IN MY 30s OR OLDER.
I was planning to vote for him so I don’t like the situation. HE DAMNED SURE DIDN’T HELP IT WITH HIS ANSWERS. That’s not my fault.
And you’re right. He’s not going to step aside.
But Prince Charles believes in global warming and global government, so he is allowed to ...
You are trying to respond to one argument with a completely different one that is not a response. Yes, I would completely agree, their stories should be vetted and put under just as much scrutiny to verify if their timeline even matches up which has not even been attempted (not to mention that there evidence to support even worse allegations against Menendez that were not and are not being covered at all - because he’s a Democrat), but what does that have to do with whether or not he should be able to recall dating these women? You are the one that is “going again” by not responding and trying to start secondary arguments.
Try to have an honest conversation for once if you are capable of it. You are the same guy who said I was actively campaigning on here for Cochran to defeat McDaniel in the Mississippi primary some years ago, claimed I was encouraging people to vote for McConnell in the primary 2014 even though I didn’t even for him in that primary myself, and claims I disappear and only show up during elections and am some sort of operative, etc. None of it true, but yet you have still said it.
I can see that
If we are going to make this a “personality” contest based on a live TV
interview, let’s have the accuser submit to one before prejudging
Moore’s answers alone.
BTW, I remember u well.
You are a big Mitch McConnell supporter.
Supported Mitch in his senate run against
your current governor.
Well actually TIME has already told.....40 yrs ago....and NOW suddenly it's an issue before a Senate Election.
Demorat perverts playing the “sex card” is nothing new...they are all to well familiar with sexual improprieties themselves....and it's always used in elections they are afraid they will loose...especially if they KNOW they'll loose.
I didn’t hear the hannity show but I’ve heard Moore speak a bunch of times. He fumbles a lot when speaking. Old fart from another Era. Got to love em though. Don’t expect much help from Moore on this manufactured scandal. He is not a slick politician and lays it all out there.
Hannity loves Hannity.
If I went back to when I was in my teens I could sue a whole lot of people!......neighbors and family, friends etc. by the ridiculous standards that are placed on us today.
I suspect he probably kissed girls....I got kissed alot by older men when visiting friends and family..and even those I didn’t know....didn’t think a thing about it...certainly not sexual.
Before you know it you won’t be able to kiss or touch your own kids!
His cousin.
They inducted Jerry Lee Lewis in 1986 for “embodying rock and roll’s most reckless and dangerous impulses.”
Agree. It’s like some people don’t believe others are allowed a differing opinion.
Roy Moore could have very easily given me a satisfactory reply. He didn’t.
Yeah, but Lewis paid a big price—even in 1958 Louisiana. He later made a comeback as a country artist.
