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 cant 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.

“Stop being so naïve. “
I am 100% certain that I could spot a 14 yr old as below the legal age. I don’t care the the 14yr old was. Or how she was trying to look older.
I MIGHT mistake her for 16 or 17, worst case.
And any man here could do so as well.
Of course, some people think it’s OK for a 32 year old man to hit on, and maybe score with a 16 year old girl because in some states there’s no laws against it.
I’m not one of them.
As long as one doesnt look too closely or unless theres the give away reveal, they are focus group tested to look, say and do what a loyal voter expects them to.
Because, as long as those voter-bots arent startled too badly, theyll pretty much do what theyre expected to.
Call me jaded, but these days their looking the part makes me think of the two crime family hit men and their clean backseat in Pulp Fiction.
The Wolf: You guys look like... What do they look like, Jimmie?I cleaned up the last line a bit.
Jimmie: Dorks. They look like a couple of dorks.
Jules: Ha-ha-ha. They're your Senators, loyal voters.
Harvey Weinstein admitted to having problems and checked himself into a “rehab”, Kevin Spacey did not deny the accusations - Roy Moore has denied the accusations fevently.
I’m no Roy Moore supporter or anything, but why do accusations = guilty
You are correct that he is vehemently denying the accusations. To the point that he is threatening to sue the Washington Post. I can tell you I read an article where three editorial boards of local Alabama newspapers are calling on him to drop out of the race. At least one of the editorial boards is from a conservative newspaper who has been able to corroborate the reports of a number of the accusers and they believe them.
He said, she said is always difficult. For me, what did it was the press conference. Yes, I do believe her. The worst case scenario in all of this is if a Dem got elected, there is another election for this seat in the 2018 election and we’ll surely get it back then.
I’m capable of discerning on a case by case basis. A Hollywood liberal grandstanding with Allred makes sense. I believe most thinking conservatives are repulsed by Allred and would seek counsel elsewhere.
Hence my opinion of the latest accuser and you.
You don't know any such thing, not from her looks!
You assume you could!
I notice you go up to 17 but stop at 18, which is the legal age of consent today.
And what is the 'vast difference' between 17 and 18?
Moreover, the fact is that the 14 year old accusation hasn't even been proven!
What about an 18 year old?
That is NOW the legal age of consent, would that be all right with you?
You guys are nothing but self-righteous hypocrites.
Its not some plot. I just grabbed the first animated gif I could find. If you have a longer version that erases the creepy factor, let me know and Ill post it with an apology.
How did the editorial board of this conservative newspaper “corroborate the reports of a number of the accusers” ?
Here’s one of the editorials, I found online
http://www.al.com/opinion/index.ssf/2017/11/our_view_roy_moore_grossly_unf.html
That’s an opionion piece, and as they say opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one and they usually stink.
Like I said I don’t know much about Roy Moore, but I do know that it’s not right to tear a man’s life down and a distinguished 40+ year career over hearsay with no actual evidence whatsoever.
It’s an opinion piece, but like it says in the editorial they sent reporters to go out and corroborate the women’s stories and they found lots of corroboration after the reporters went down to his hometown.
Really ? This is a total opinion piece, they say they investigated and found corroboration, but don’t say what it is and don’t offer anything but their opinion that Moore is unfit to be a senator.
This is a dangerous road to go down.
Have someone explain my analysis to you.
I’m ashamed that I used to support Ted Cruz.
Not anymore.
****************
Unless it is taken to its conclusion then all those up in DC and other places
are sitting ducks for accusations whether actual or fabricated. I thought we
were basically a nation of innocent until proved guilty.
You could make that same accusation against all these women that came forward about Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, the boys with Kevin Spacey. Are they all lying as well?
Im not fool enough to think that women (or men) cant use this accusation as a weapon against someone. Thats why Im suspicious when its just one or two. However, when its a lot that come out, the totality of all these people coming out and making claims sways my opinion. I only now am convinced it happened after this press conference yesterday. You could make the same arguments in support of Harvey Weinstein. Do you not believe Rose McGowan et al??
You lie like a Democrat. Are you one? You stupidly conflate all the accusations against Moore. In fact, several of “The Women” have accused him of nothing but asking them on a date basically. Comparing him to Cosby, Weinstein and Spacey is just pathetic. Surrender monkey attitudes like you have is why the GOP hasn’t delivered for conservatives since Reagan.
“Heres one of the editorials, I found online”
That was a really disgusting hit piece.
He claimed that stories he supposedly heard somehow corroborate these accusations.
Sounds like fabrication to me.
