[Reality-TV-Fanatics] McConnell: Roy Moore should step aside

by on
 

What are your thoughts . There has been a lot of Hollywood people coming out of the woodworks on being assaulted many years ago. Should the accused be considered INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty?


McConnell -probably should just worry about his own self.  BUT having said that
I don't KNOW for fact if Moore is telling the truth or not.  Maybe he is maybe not. I didn't care much for his interview on Hannity radio,.
I know Hannity is giving the benefit of the doubt and wont rush to judgment as it should be
IF he is innocent WHY would he step down? If he feels he is not guilty then there should be no reason to step down. Allegations are just that allegations.  IF he is elected and they find the women were being truthful and he is convicted then yes he can be removed.
If he were to step aside just to appease the senate and others  that IMO would be admitting guilt.  I prefer to wait and see what happens. He isn't going anywhere so he will be there when charges are filed.

McConnell: Roy Moore should step aside

By Jordain Carney and Rebecca Savransky - 11/13/17 11:24 AM EST
"I think he should step aside," McConnell said during a tax reform press conference in Louisville, Ky., when asked about the calls from his Senate colleagues for Moore to leave the race.
Moore has been under growing pressure from Republicans to drop out of the Senate race after The Washington Post published a story containing allegations that Moore pursued an inappropriate sexual relationship with a teenage girl.

When pressed about the allegations, McConnell said, "I believe the women."
The Post's story last week detailed an account from Leigh Corfman, now 53, who said she had a sexual encounter with Moore in 1979, when she was 14 years old and he was 32.
The report also included accounts from three other women who said Moore attempted to court them around that time, when they were between 16 and 18 years old.
Moore in a tweet early Monday afternoon said McConnell is the person who should step aside.
"He has failed conservatives and must be replaced," Moore said, using the hashtag "DrainTheSwamp."
Even if Moore withdraws from the Senate race — something he has said he will not do — Republicans are stuck with his name remaining on the ballot.
The deadline for the party to remove Moore's name from the ballot passed in October, though Republicans could mount a write-in challenge. Republicans have also floated trying to move back the December special election date.
McConnell said Monday that the party is exploring a write-in bid, though he declined to say specifically who would be the candidate.
"That's an option we're looking at, whether or not there is someone who could mount a write-in successfully," he said.

Moore has denied wrongdoing and threatened to sue the Post, arguing the story is politically motivated and aimed at damaging him ahead of the December special election.
McConnell and dozens of Senate Republicans immediately called on Moore to step aside last week "if these allegations are true."
"I stand with the Majority Leader on this. These are serious and disturbing accusations, and while the decision is now in the hands of the people of Alabama, I believe Luther Strange is an excellent alternative," Hatch said in a tweet.Sen. Susan Collins

@SenatorCollins
I have now read Mr. Moore's statement and listened to his radio interview in which he denies the charges. I did not find his denials to be convincing and believe that he should withdraw from the Senate race in Alabama.

   Judge Roy Moore @MooreSenate
The person who should step aside is @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell. He has failed conservatives and must be replaced.
Republicans are increasingly retreating from the Alabama Senate candidate after he said during an interview on Sean Hannity's radio show that he may have dated girls in their
late teens at that time in his life. 
Moore added that he did not "remember anything like that" and maintained that there was no inappropriate sexual behavior.
Despite the blowback nationally from Republican officials and lawmakers, Alabama Republicans have publicly defended Moore and warned that if he left the race it would hand the Senate seat to Democratic candidate Doug Jones.
Alabama Republican Party Chairwoman Terry Lathan also pushed back against a write-in campaign, telling the Alabama Political Reporter that "it would be a serious error for any current elected GOP official or candidate to publicly endorse another party's candidate, an independent, a third party or a write-in candidate in a general election as well."
Moore is using the blowback from Republican lawmakers in his fundraising appeals, saying that "establishment Republicans are colluding with the Obama-Clinton Machine."
"Apparently Mitch McConnell and the establishment GOP would rather elect a radical pro-abortion Democrat than a conservative Christian as the next U.S. Senator from Alabama," Moore said in an email to supporters on Sunday night.
Republicans have a slim 52-seat majority in the Senate and have struggled to unite the caucus behind key agenda items, including repealing ObamaCare.
Though Moore has railed against Senate leadership as part of his campaign, losing the seat to a Democrat would likely make it harder for McConnell to get major legislation through the chamber.
