Shawn Hannity did a number on Judge Roy Moore Senatorial campaign. Candidate Roy Moore allowed himself to be bushwhacked in a telephone interrogation on national television.
Hannnity acted as a prosecutor during the interview. How many Democrats when faced with a sexual scandal, encountered a prosecutorial styled interview? I cannot think of any.
Do you remember Steve Kroft's interview of the Clinton's, which was later called the "Stand by Your Man" interview because of Hillary's defense of Bill Clinton? They were all soft ball questions with no follow up. I wanted to smash my television! I wanted to smash my television because it was evident this was a damage control interview designed to put to rest the allegations of Bill Clinton's mistreatment of women.
Why did Hannity participate in the dismantling of Roy Moore? Did someone from the deep state give him a call? Why did Roy Moore agree to such a inquisition? I have to admit, the answers Moore gave were indeed creepy.
Never a prosecutorial styled interview of a Democrat! Double standard, brought to us this time by Shawn Hannity.
In one regard, I honor Moore. And yet, some of his biblical strictness was almost fanatical; borderline Westboro Baptist. Which really clashed with his penchant for younger girls. And what’s with the horse? IT was a pacer, and not bad. SOMEBODY did a good job breaking that pony. But that P.O.S. tack Moore was using. Looked like poor hand-me-down crap after 4 generations. And yanking the reins around like he’d never ridden before. A man of his caliber on a rig like that. The whole image was very disjointed and unattractive. IMHO.
"...voting on horseback, child interviews, football games..."
The loss is solely the result of sabotage by the establishment wing of the GOP, who piled on Moore, refused to fund him and orchestrated a write-in campaign.
The establishment wing screwed over the base once again like it did when it undercut Chris McDaniel four years ago in Mississippi.
Only the Republican party goes to war with its base and tries to lose elections, Dems are never stupid to do that.
I saw that picture of Moore and that little girl just last night on one of the threads. For the first time.
I agree with you. WHO?? Who thought that was a good idea?
LOL! Yes, perfectly stated! I was proud of him for 2016 though. Really didn’t think he had it in him.
And we can do it. There are candidates who haven’t groped or raped. Candidates should be gone over for various past sex flaws and the candidate should be ready to speak on them. Don’t hide that you cheated way back when. Whatever your issue is, either don’t run for office, or own it and explain how you’ve changed. Americans are very forgiving.
Yes. Was thinking the same this morning. Collapse on the southern front putting that weakfish, useless Sessions in as AG. A complete dud.
I didn’t get to see a lot of this election, work and all, but from where I sit, I think Moore was to weak...his interview with Sean was not something a person would be like if it wasn’t true...not saying it is, as it has been proven Nelson lied...but..who wants someone weak???
I used to listen to talk radio 9 hours a day. Glenn Beck, then Rush, then Hannity.
Now I only listen to Alex Jones, usually in bits and pieces as rebroadcast.
Hannity is a JOKE!
First Rubio, then Cruz, then 3rd time is a charm, he finally supports Trump.
Hannity had a falling out with McCain and Hannity kissed McCain’s arse so many times, in so many ways, just to get that bastard McCain back on his shows.
It would not surprise me one bit to find out that Hannity has sexual skeletons in his closet.
It wasn’t just Hannity. It was also McConnell, and other REPUBLICAN Senators, talking about not seating Moore or throwing him out using ethics procedures.
Trump supporting Strange didn’t help either. I don’t blame Trump as he made a deal with that “snake McConnell. If ANYONE should have known better, Trump should have.
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in”
I give up. It makes you wonder how Trump got elected.

Doug Jones - for all his faults - is no Hillary Clinton. If he was - Moore would have won.
Bannon.
This is what I want to say every time someone blames auto-correct.
Trump was very vocal in supporting Luther Stranger in the primary. He took heat from the more conservative factions for it but his instincts were correct.
He had to try and polish the Moore turd in the general but it was an uphill battle. I’m sure inside Trump is PO’d he had to take a hit for this sad sack Moore
Bannon. I don’t fully trust Steve Bannon.
He reminds me of Karl Rove. Who also at one time was the kingmaker darling of conservatives everywhere.
I heard that interview. Moore was completely unconvincing in his responses. If he didn’t know those women, he should’ve said so from the start.
I wonder if the libs didn’t push for Moore to win in an upset against Strange in the Primaries. They knew he was flawed compared to Strange. I wouldn’t put it past them.
No.
The alleged lesbian editor at the three largest papers in Alabama didn’t help any.
She exacted her pound of flesh.
The interview with the 12 year old was really bad optics.
Luther is dirty.
