I mostly agree with you, but if Roy Moore can’t unequivocally come to his own defense over pedophilia charges, he shouldn’t expect others to do so.
Yeah, the initial response was beyond horrible, and things didn’t get much better from there.
First off, people need to look up pedophilia. It means pre-pubescent, not teenaged.
Second, he probably isn’t all that innocent which is why he couldn’t defend himself very well. After all, he’s on record as having first met his wife when she was a teen at a dance recital and he “knew she was going to be someone special in his life”. He’s 14 years older than her. That means he was 30ish when he first met her. That creeps a lot of people out.
I think a lot of Alabama republicans with teenage daughters stayed home today. After all, how could they be seen by their friends, neighbors or their own teenage daughters heading to the polling place?
I was hoping he could pull it off. Then there was a really bad optic of him getting interviewed by a 12 year old girl recently. What the hell was he thinking?
