Congressional Republican Hypocrisy and Roy Moore
It never ceases to amaze me the increasing hypocrisy and the calls from Congressional Republicans, the RNC, Sean Hannity, and other apologists of Roy Moore's calling for his getting out of the Alabama Senate race. All the while, Donald Trump, a serial Sexual Predator himself, sits in the Oval Office, his accusers called LIARS.
"I believe the women," many Republicans from Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and others say. "Roy Moore should step aside." That is good and dandy of them. But where were they in 2016 when the 2005 Access Hollywood tape came out of Donald Trump's sexual predatory behaviors were on display for all the world to hear, and Republicans turned a blind eye and supported him anyways? The women then were NOT to be believed as Trump threatened to sue them?
Donald Trump risks relitigating his own sexual predator past if he makes any public statement in support of Roy Moore. The 2005 Access Hollywood tape bragging about what he likes to do to women because he can get away with it gets a new life.
