Donald Trump has backed Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore remaining in the election race despite multiple claims of sexual harassment of teenage girls. Mr Trump believes that “Alabama should take the decision” about their next senator and that Mr Moore should only quit if the allegations are proved.

But I read in an American newspaper that Trump has been silent on the issue...
Hannity threw Moore under the bus.
Well I gave Trump the benefit of the doubt with his initial endorsement — as my own impression of Moore was that he was a nice man, but there was something unreliable or shaky about him. (Not what he is being accused of right now. That did not cross my mind.) Also, I tend to trust Sarah Palin’s instincts as well, and Moore was her guy.
- What put Strange in the GOP-E’s good graces?
And Moore's wife was his secretary at the time.
Excellent move!
And on Howie Carr's program women would call in who were getting into politics when they were young and attractive were told not get caught in the elevator with the Oldsmobilian Submarine Commander as he he had Roman hands and Russian fingers and you'd be groped. He was a pig, plain and simple.
We will not see behavior like this from Judge Moore, and he won't need be buried in Arlington to protect his grave.
Thanks Innovative.

Right on, Mr. President.
“Moore has the misfortune of having both the RATs and the RINOs trying to submarine him.”
Lately, voters are against both, so it might be more of an advantage than a disadvantage.
How does it back Moore by letting the will of the people vote? Isn’t that what our founders wanted? Pfft msm was all in a tizzy yesterday about this.
Ivanka needs to save her breath to defend Jared. Mueller’s going to drop a perjury indictment on him.
Gutsy, typically Trumpian and non-political call. No one who has merely been accused of something, where there is no way of coming up with any evidence 40 years after the fact, should cave.
Otherwise we’ll wind up with a UK-like witch hunt (Google the recent cases of TV personalities being prosecuted based on ‘he said/she said’ allegations of behaviours from 40+ years ago! That’s madness.
I still don’t like Moore very much due to his behavior on the bench as a Justice of the Alabama S Ct.
Let the people of Alabama decide. Fortunately there is enough time left for people to digest what’s been happening. If these allegations had come out a week or two before the election he would probably have lost.
Would not be surprised. I have to admit I have never trusted Jared.
Funny, as liberal and left wing European news is, they still print things that make US media uncomfortable.
Except I don’t think it was the Dems that are running this. I think it is McConnell, Rove and friends. And Fox News ran fake polls showing Trump was 5 pts behind Hillary.
Good!
It isn’t what was said that is important, it is what is NOT said. Just not joining the baying Lynch Mob supports the Judge.
Absolutely, and it IS nepotism, of THE worst possible kind!
Well, you and I weren’t there - which is conveeeenient for whoever is lying in this case (both cases).But for sure, the charges against both men were made with a view to disenfranchising people who intend to vote against Democrats.
And that is reason enough to dismiss them. What if you don’t vote or, worse, vote Democrat - and the Democrat wins and you find out later that the charges are bogus??? Worse yet, you might find out that the Democrat is a worse perp than anything alleged against Moore - and nobody told you about it because journalists systematically oppose Republicans!!
The downside possibility is only that someone who was a loathsome Democrat 38 years ago - and turned his life around, and has long been happily married and a Republican - gets elected instead of a present-day Democrat who would have voted against the public interest getting elected.
I would like to go back and gather all the dump Senator Moore freepers that sniped and ankle biter those first days. Most if not all were not from Bama. Fair weather conservatives.
This was obviously a SRC hit from the start because Big Luther lost. Ultimate taking their ball and going home even if the country gets screwed. Let that sink in. They prefer a communist over a conservative if they can’t be king makers.
