"I don't remember dating any girl without the permission of her mother," he said. He later pointed to The Post's story and said, "These two young girls actually said their mothers encouraged them to be friends with me."
After a commercial break, Moore became more forceful in his denials of dating teenagers. He said doing so "would be out of my customary behavior" and that he "never" would have dated a teen without her mother's permission.
Comments made on Hannity show. OK we are getting somewhere. One of the women is making up a story (about the 14 yo) but it sounds like Moore knew some of the accusers and is not making a forceful denial that he dated them or dated young women because he says he doesn't "generally remember" whatever that means.
If you are in your 30s and you need the mother's permission then the girl is 'young'. So Roy liked them young. When I dated women in my 20s I didn't need a mother's permission because the women were old enough to have already left home. But it is not against the law or necessarily immoral for a 32 year old to date an 18 year old. Odd. Perhaps. But not immoral IMO. Kind of beckons to an old era when men married women real young.
So the dems find some real stories of Roy dating young women but say - this isn't enough. We need to spice this up. So they get one of them to make up accusations that she was 14 and mix it in there with some possibly truthful or partially truthful stories ... to blow it up into a manufactured "scandal".

This is exactly how I see it.
