MONTGOMERY, Alabama — Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) backed up GOP candidate Judge Roy Moore in an interview with the Associated Press as allegations against Moore crumble amid revelations of forgery.

Cotton said the voters would decide the veracity of the claims just like they deemed Trump to not be guilty last year, and that the news media should not determine whether or not people are guilty.

The media accuses, tries and convicts. Then goes all weepy when they’re slammed for it.

Well, it looks like we have Trial by Forgery too.

Notice how that isn’t getting much Press?

I believe Alec Baldwin said something similar about talk show hosts — that they shouldn’t be “grand judge or jury” or something as far as these sex allegations. Naturally, he got crucified.

While no fan of Baldwin, I’m with him on this. While I don’t at all condone major league creeps like Weinstein, I think we’re allowing these witch hunts.
