McConnell: Moore should step down if allegations true
The Hill ^ | 11/09/2017 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 11/09/2017 11:20:29 AM PST by GIdget2004

Senate Republican leadership is calling for Alabama GOP candidate Roy Moore to step down as the party's nominee if new allegations of his inappropriate sexual conduct against a 14-year old girl in 1979 are true.

Both Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) released brief statements on Thursday, shortly after The Washington Post published the allegations.

"If these allegations are true, he must step aside," McConnell said.

Gardner's statement echoed that from McConnell.

“The allegations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore are deeply troubling,” he said. “If these allegations are found to be true, Roy Moore must drop out of the Alabama special Senate election.”

Due process. It’s not about convincing the public, it’s about convincing a jury of your peers beyond any reasonable doubt. That is the standard. They would not dare take this to court because they’ll lose. That’s what happens when you have no evidence. Due Process!!

Due process does not exist in politics.

Sounds like something McConnell made up. May this backfire on them.

People forget - the swamp RINOs did the same thing to Trump a month out from the presidential election:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-widely-condemned-republican-leaders-legislators-n662446

These are uni-party cowards.

The allegation is from 1979. He’s on the Alabama Supreme Court and she says nothing. A month out from U.S. Senate race and she remembers?

Sounds exactly like the anti-Trump tactics. All those accusers disappeared after the election.

Democrats / Deep State are out to DESTROY actual conservatives. Destroy them, their families, anyone with whom they do business. Scary times!

Again, it’s from 1979. They can’t take it to court.

Many attorneys keep diaries...more or less...cuz they use them for reference for billing. This can be tracked.

That's fine. The truth will all be revealed after Moore is forced to step down. Sad to say, but that's unfortunately how it works in DC.

Weinstein left his DNA behind. Has Roy Moore left behind any DNA? If not, your comparison is fake.

If there is no DNA evidence for Moore, that strengthens my comparison -- that the accusation against Moore is suspect, and very probably fake.

This is a really dangerous path to go down, because it means Clinton, Kennedy, etc are all 100 percent innocent too.


The only thing dangerous here is surrender monkey attitudes like yours. Moore can be sorted out later. Throwing the seat to the Dems and having Majority Leader Schumer can not be.

Moore shouldn't step aside as nothing is likely to come of it. But this is probably being done to create some doubt in the minds of GOPe-type voters that would otherwise vote for Moore. Honestly, though, do we need any further proof that the GOPe needs to be, not just beaten, but destroyed? They are every bit as bad as the Dems.

That’s funny, Mitch. You’re “deeply troubled” by this ridiculous lie, yet you were happy as a clam during the eight years when Barack Obama was busy destroying the United States as we know it. Not a discouraging word from you, not even a peep.

Please do us all a favor, and retire. Then you can change your political affiliation to the real party you admire.

>>6. Stories like this, work cause country is full if stupid people.

Precisely. And a large majority of them are so stupid that they are incapable of ever learning that they are stupid. There is a specific term to describe such people, but just now I cannot recall what it is.

If I know Alabamans like I think I know them, they are going to vote for Moore and give a big “FU” to McConnell.

Of course you don't. That's why you're not in the game that's called politics.

This is all orchestrated by The Deep State.

What if this female accepted an envelop full of 100 dollar bills to come up with this story?
