Cruz pulls support from Moore: Allegations merit ‘criminal prosecution’ if true
The Hill ^ | November 13, 2017 | ELLIOT SMILOWITZ

Posted on 11/13/2017 8:13:42 PM PST by conservative98

Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday withdrew his support from Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore, saying allegations of sexual misconduct should be looked at by prosecutors.

“As it stands, I can’t urge the people of Alabama to support a campaign in the face of these charges without serious, persuasive demonstration that the charges are not true,” the Texas Republican told reporters, according to a Texas Tribune reporter.

“Both last week and this week, there are serious charges of criminal conduct that if true, not only make him unfit to serve in the Senate but merit criminal prosecution,” he added.

Where was the outrage when Barney Frank was running a prostitution ring out of his House office?

I read Schumer say “It’s up to the people of Alabama.” They’re literally stepping back, taking the “high road” and laughing at the GOP circular firing squad.

This attack on Moore is entirely GOPe. The real target is Steve Bannon. The GOPe wants Steve Bannon politically dead. It is total war between the deplorables and the GOPe.

A NeverTrumper joins the fray only confirming my sense of who Moore’s enemies are.

Ted’s relentless hatred of Donald Trump last year turned me from being a multi hundred dollar supporter to being a non supporter quick.

Three words: Statute of Limitations.

Which is what makes this whole series of accusations suspicious.

I was once a supporter. Then he had a crony run an ad calling DJT a nazi for wanting to build a wall, and now I think Moore is well rid of him.

Or perhaps he is trying to distract about any charges about a relationship with one Ms. Carpenter?

To quote the Clinton defenders, "If you drag a $20 bill through a trailer park, there's no telling what you'll find."

and

"It's just about sex."

I wouldn’t call it total war: only because a Democrat shot and tried to kill Rep. Scalise and others. And another broke 5 or 6 of Sen. Paul’s ribs. And all the actors portraying Trump as Caesar being stabbed, Kathy Gifford, so on. The right is merely voting.

Mitch McConnell must have bought Cruz off, Oh how they hate Steve Bannon! Steve should be doubling down on these RepubliKan Senatorial cowards! Bannon and Moore are seen as the hole in the dike that needs to be plugged. TOO LATE CRUZ BOTS. Yertle the Turtle McConnell must resign....his role is to deny Trumps agenda!

Lets do a Hillary on the 4 brave women, and publicly call them sluts who wished they’d been f**ked so they could have told sooner.

Now the money is so good they are speaking up simply to keep a horny conservative from winning again? ( Only leftists are allowed to be horny, not conservatives.)

The left is desperate. So are the RINOs in Washington who are calling for Moore to step down. And now plan to keep him from being seated if he wins ( which he likely will do.)The hatred for Bannon is STRONG, Buahahahahaha!

The femino-nazi brave (sic) women suffer from Sexualitis, a newly discovered leftist mental condition similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome that makes them falsely remember that they had been f**ked by a conservative politician who looks like he is going to win.They are not brave, they are cowardly whores.The money must be good, real good.

Femino-nazi slut, sexual shake down artist prostitutes!
Real hookers would seem clean in their company, at least they do the deed they are paid for. Not these “4 brave women.”

And people take this seriously?

Surely the good people of Alabama will NOT!

And The GOPe Senate Swamp critters ? They need to represent the People or resign, instead of looking around to see who screwed who 40 years ago.

I don’t know about you all, but I am with Bannon!

My wife, Latina, is hardcore conservative and can't stand Ted Cruz. Something set her off about him during the campaign (there were several moments) and she jumped to Trump and never turned back. I came over a few weeks later.

Cruz's most recent message to me is "Listen to your wife."

Most of the GOPe need to have their heads on pikes in front of the Senate. I am sad to see that Cruz has joined him. He always seemed an opportunist when the chips were really down. Who would you want in the foxhole with you?

Translation of Cruz’s statement for his supporters: You really believed that I’m not a member in good standing of the swamp? Silly you!

What ‘criminal prosecution’? Are we talking about 40 year old allegations?

How come Cruz doesn’t know this or he’s just postulating his self-righteousness?

I have no dog in this fight. I did listen to the Sean Hannity radio interview of Moore and have to admit, his answers and some evasive Ness hit a nerve with me. See if you can find it online. Other than that, I have to let Alabama voters decide. He’s THEIR candidate, after all. Maybe Keff Sessions can resign his chair and go back to his Senate seat. He was great there...and let President Trump nominate a stronger candidate for the Justice Department. He put Sessions there as Jeff was the first one to show enthusiastic support but I think he regrets that decision. Anyway, that would be my win-win preference.

Ted “Open Borders” Cruz has never been a Conservative....or a US citizen.

Hey Ted.....where’s your Consular Report of Birth Abroad (a CRBA or Form FS-240) ?
