It took the GOP just 20 days to stop caring Roy Moore is an accused pedophile
Twenty days after cutting ties with Roy Moore, the Republican National Committee just announced it is throwing its support — and money — behind the accused child molester's Senate campaign.
By Matthew Chapman DECEMBER 4, 2017

There was a point at which it seemed Republicans had finally found a line they would not cross with Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.

Following allegations that Moore stalked and preyed on teenage girls, the Republican National Committee pulled funding, Republican leaders called for blocking him from serving in the Senate, and even Donald Trump seemed hesitant to publicly support him.

Well, not anymore.

On Monday, Trump fully endorsed Moore, and before the day was over, the rest of the GOP was tripping over itself trying to justify supporting an accused child molester.

1. Not a big surprise.

I know it's a long shot, Alabama being what it is, but wouldn't Moore getting trounced be a wonderful Christmas present?

2. They were fine with him on day one

I find it highly unlikely that Republicans would soften their stance on pedophiles, so that suggests that they were fine with it all along and were simply looking for a workable way to market it.

3. I don't care about accusations either, but he is PROVEN beyond doubt.

Franken is only accused.

4. About like the Access Hollywood tape...

Morality is hard, especially over long time periods, like 3 weeks.
