President defends accused child predator Roy Moore over his Democrat opponent
The President of the United States has just broke his extremely long silence on Roy Moore, the Republican senate candidate for the state of Alabama, who has been accused by eight women for sexual assault, harassment and misconduct.
At least two of the women said Moore sexually assaulted and harassed them when they were only 14 and 16 years old, one saying he forcefully brought her to her knees and tried to force her face into his crotch area and onto his body.
A former shopping mall employee said he was on the shopping mall's watch list, some stores confirming this report though the mall manager saying there is no record of the claim, for 'disturbing numerous teenagers'. At least two former employees of stores in the mall said he harassed them to go on a date with him and made them feel 'weird'.
The accusations on the senate candidate of the Republican Party came unpoliticized, specifically due to other accusations like Harvey Weinstein's and Democratic Senator Al Franken's two groping accusations back in 2006 and 2010.
Los Angeles news anchor and sports commentator Leeann Tweeden accused Senator Al Franken of groping her in a released photo back in 2006. The Senator declared his formal apologies, which she graciously accepted, saying she thinks he was being truthful with his statement that he really meant it to be a joke and to be funny.
However, the US President Donald Trump politicized the Moore and Franken accusations by staying silent on Moore's, even after most Republicans including GOP majority leader Mitch McConnell, however tweet-attacking Franken's scandals.
It was pretty simple; Trump didn't want to risk the seat in Alabama by denouncing Moore due to his fear of not passing the Senate tax plan and leading to a potential loss in the 2018 midterms, which evidently may lead to impeachment talks.
After almost too long of being almost completely silent, with the White House press secretary Sarah Sanders saying Trump believed Moore should step down if the allegations were true quickly reforming to Trump believing that it was up to Alabama voters on if they'd elect Roy Moore, Kellyane Conway threw in a pitch.
Conway sprung controversy after saying, via a Fox News interview, that she did not think Republicans could afford the loss of Alabama and that is why they shouldn't condemn Roy Moore. When asked by Fox reporters and anchors, she said they "need the votes". Conway is the counselor to the President.
During a White House press briefing, Sarah Sanders said the President and the entire White House did not agree with Kellyane Conway's statements saying they remained firm on the fact that Trump believed Moore's fate was up to Alabamian voters.
Trump, definitely not for the first time, went against the press secretary and almost fully contradicted her in a press stop. He confirmed that he edged in support for Moore, saying consistently in response to reporters' questions that "[Moore] totally denies it", saying he'd announce if he'd campaign for Moore following the GOP refusal to do so, also saying that his Democratic opponent was 'bad on crime'.
The President's condemnation of the opponent to an accused child molester was not seen properly by a majority of Americans, according to a recent MR Times poll of which states that 64% of Americans were unhappy with Trump's statement.
