Asked on CNNs New Day why Trump has decided to back Moore despite the allegations he faces, Conway noted that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) did not call on Franken to resign on Tuesday when asked about the accusations that he groped several women.
Everywhere I turn I see hypocrisy, Conway said.
She also said that Trump backs Moore because he needs the Republican vote in the Senate, and she argued that Trumps support has helped Moore in the polls.
When the President endorsed Luther strange, Luther Strange shot up in the polls by double digits. When the president endorsed Roy Moore, when he started talking about Doug Jones, the opponent here, which you still dont want to talk about but the president does, Roy Moore took a lead in the polls again, she said. Why is that? Because the President himself came out and said he doesnt want a liberal in the Senate.

I don't know if Al Frankin should resign or not, but the Republican endorsement of Moore is an incomparable low for a modern U.S. political party.
