GOP rep rushes down stairs as reporter asks about Roy Moore's accusers

Source: The Hill

A GOP lawmaker jogged down a staircase Tuesday as a reporter attempted to ask him about sexual misconduct allegations against Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore.

In video posted to Twitter by ABC News, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) dodges ABC’s Tom Llamas’ questions about whether the congressman believes the five women who have accused Moore of sexual misconduct.

“Do you believe Roy Moore over the women?” Llamas asked in the video, to which Brooks responded, “I believe that the Democrats will do great damage to our country.”

“I believe that the Democrats will do great damage to our country on a myriad of issues,” Brooks reiterated after Llamas pressed him while running down a set of stairs.

That ABC News tweet with video:





Note on a typo in this article from The Hill -- the first sentence there currently reads "jotted down a staircase," an obvious typo which I corrected above since I expect it to be corrected on their website soon.

Brave Sir Robin ran away
(No!)
Bravely ran away away
(I didn't!)
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
(No!)
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
(I didn't!)
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
(I never did!)
He beat a very brave retreat
(All lies!)
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!
(I never!)

Anyone want to take a guess what it stands for? Here is a hint it is a 9 letter word that starts with a P and ends with an E.

perhaps not all Rs are as rotten, a couple mentioned they won't support Moore...but those 2 or 3 are ignored, their words are way to weak to save any children at all.
