Senior White House aide: Give Roy Moore more time to defend himself

Source: The Washington Post

A senior aide to President Trump said Sunday that Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore needs to be given time to defend himself against allegations that he pursued sexual or romantic relationships with teenage girls when he was in his 30s and that Trump would look more closely at the issue after returning from a trip to Asia.

“There’s no Senate seat more important than the notion of child pedophilia,” Marc Short, the White House director of legislative affairs, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I mean that’s reality. But having said that, he has not been proven guilty. We have to afford him the chance to defend himself.”

Short noted that Moore this week “plans to come forward with more evidence to support his innocence.”

He's got every shovel-brained, morally bankrupt troglodyte in Alabama doing that for him...

Let’s put him and his accusers before a jury that doesn’t have any fundamentalist Christians on it and let the jury decide after hearing all the evidence.

If it turns out the women were all lying, he can stay on the ballot and the women punished for slander.

If it turns out they were not e goes to prison for child molestation, and his Ten Commandments statue, with everything but Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery and Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness taped over, will go across the hall from his cell.
