Defenses of moore that I've encountered

One is the innocent until proven guilty
me: Innocent until proven guilty is for the jury box, not the voting box

Sometimes these girls encourage it. They push and pursue. (Which is sick in and of itself)
me: Yeah. Kind of like when I was arrested with 3 kilos of cocaine on me. I mean, the dealer just kept pursuing me, pushing me to buy. What was I to do?

What about Bill Clinton?
me: What about Bill Clinton? I was unaware he was running for anything. I would also add, his offenses involved adults. I know of no mall that banned Bill from entering because he was pursuing teen aged girls

Times were different then.
me: Doesn't matter. Besides, 14 was still illegal in Alabama. (This takes me back to the first defense)

Is it fair to bring up something that happened that long ago? He's a different person now.
me: Yes. Considering how readily the Republicans smeared Geraldine Ferraro with accusations about her deceased father back in 1984... Yes. Especially since Ferraro wasn't her father

I haven't encountered anyone who has used the Biblical defense.
When I first saw them I was not surprised, as that's where the right always turns as they proclaim they're rededicating their lives to Jesus and have been forgiven. If I were to encounter an individual like that, I would point out the many places within the Bible that they were failing at that moment
