Sean Hannity Grills Roy Moore, Sen. Mike Lee Withdraws His Support

Senate GOP candidate Roy Moore has been accused of pursing relationships with teenage girls. He was in his 30s at the time.

I have no idea what to make of this. He’s been a judge for years. He’s not a new face. Why is this just surfacing now? I can’t help but notice the timing.

The women making the allegations said they found Moore’s alleged gestures “flattering at the time, but troubling as they got older.”

Here’s a section straight from the WaPo:

Aside from Corfman, three other women interviewed by The Washington Post in recent weeks say Moore pursued them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s, episodes they say they found flattering at the time, but troubling as they got older. None of the three women say that Moore forced them into any sort of relationship or sexual contact.

Note the last sentence there. “None of the three women say that Moore forced them into any sort of relationship or sexual contact.”

So…it took them 40 years to decide his alleged moves were “troubling”? I’m not saying he’s guilty, and I’m not saying he’s NOT guilty. I don’t know what to believe. I’m trying to look at the facts objectively.

To be fair, I should note that Moore’s people claim the WaPo bribed people into making these accusations.

Moore mentioned they’ve have evidence of “collusion” on the story. His wife shared a link on Facebook accusing the WaPo of bribing people & noted an accuser did sign language interpretation at a Clinton rally. pic.twitter.com/w0ONrNEg6F

Take that as you will.

Moore released this updated statement today:

He also spoke with Sean Hannity today and adamantly denied the allegations again.

However, some people say he was all over the place.

Roy Moore claims to Hannity he never met the woman who alleged he made sexual advances on her when she was 14

“Not generally, no,” Roy Moore says when asked if he remembered dating any girls in their teens when he was in his 30s

— Manu Raju (@mkraju) November 10, 2017

He added he would “never” have dated teenagers without permission from their mothers

Moore says it’s “not normal” for a 32 year old to date someone in her late teens. “I’ve said no,” he says, when he said before maybe he had.

Roy Moore: “There will be facts that come out to show this was a democrat and even an established republican effort to undermine this campaign.”

Meanwhile, he’s losing support from major lawmakers. Sen. Mike Lee is out.

Having read the detailed description of the incidents, as well as the response from Judge Moore and his campaign, I can no longer endorse his candidacy for the US Senate.

Mike Lee pulls his endorsement of Roy Moore after Hannity interview.

Moore had one chance to clearly refute the allegations, and he failed. This is the result. https://t.co/zRxWsB2SHU

I am pulling my endorsement and support for Roy Moore for U.S. Senate.
