White House aide Kellyanne Conway said Thursday that allegations against Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore made in the Washington Post would be disqualifying for anyone in public office.
We need to listen to both sides, but at the same time, that hypothetical would be disqualifying for anyone in public office, Conway said, in a clip aired on MSNBC.
The Post reported the stories of four women who said Moore pursued relationships with them as a grown man when they were teenagers. In one case, a 32-year-old Moore took then-14-year-old Leigh Corfman to his house, undressing her before initiating sexual contact.
She remembers that Moore kissed her, that he took off her pants and shirt, and that he touched her through her bra and underpants. She says that he guided her hand to his underwear and that she yanked her hand back, the Post reported.

(1,148 posts)What does the GOP know that we don't? They never care about these allegations, their tried and true response is to spin spin spin Hillary spin.
Something is up.
Is this a get-back-at-Bannon move? Is motive simply vindication?

Republicans are known to be the biggest hypocrites on this planet, or any other.

Whatever GOP lackey they replace him with will win.

(2,195 posts)he could still be a Senator and be out nothing more than
$50 dollars (or whatever the going rate for silver is) and a
wife for life. His sycophants would be pleased. Of course, if
his rape victim was already engaged (someone else's property)
he might be a little bit more concerned. Gimme that old time perversion.
