White House Director of Legislative Affairs Marc Short said the Presidents embrace of embattled Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore is less about dismissing allegations that Moore molested multiple women when they were teenagers and more about Democrats not voting for tax cuts.
Appearing on CNNs New Day Monday morning, Short said Trump has expressed concern about the multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against Moore one of the accusers claimed she was just 14-years-old at the time of the alleged misconduct but said Trump questions why the accusations didnt come out sooner.
When allegations rise 38 years later, when Roy Moore has been a very public figure for the past 38 years, hes run multiple times statewide in Alabama, the people of Alabama need to choose and make decisions about Roy Moores character, that there are certain questions that come about the timing of these allegations, he said. So when you put all of that together, hes encouraging people of Alabama to make the right decision.
He also said Trump thinks its a factor to consider that no Democrats have supported the Republicans tax overhaul bill.

(9,089 posts)saying that it's less about dismissing allegations and about Dem's not voting for tax cuts is the SAME as saying
I'm supporting a sexual predator over the people of the united states because we want to steal away all that we can from the american people.
Remember the American People as a whole do not want these tax cuts. So the Dem's = American citizens of all affiliations on this matter.
That should be offensive to everyone who does not support the disgusting tax bill and Roy fucking Moore.

(7,513 posts)question that needs to be answered regards Moore? Did he have a house or cabin in the woods. How would a 14 year old girl know that if she hadn't been taken there. Seems like simple to prove maybe the people don't want to know!
