While his daughter Ivanka endorsed “a special place in Hell” for alleged Alabama child molester Roy Moore, her father, self-described Molester-In-Chief Donald Trump, endorsed defrocked Judge Moore for the U.S. Senate. And the sexual depredation claims? “He totally denies it. He says it didn’t happen. And you know, you have to listen to him also,” said the President, strangely adding that the 7 women accusing Mr. Moore “are Trump voters.”
More excerpts from the President’s comments:
“Let me just tell you, Roy Moore denies it. That’s all I can say. He denies it. And, by the way, he totally denies it.”
“I can tell you one thing for sure: We don’t need a liberal person in there, a Democrat, Jones.”
“Women are very special. I think it’s a very special time, a lot of things are coming out, and I think that’s good for our society and I think it’s very very good for women and I’m very happy.”
While the president doesn’t share Roy Moore’s theocratic Christian Nationalism and religious fundamentalism, they both share a common contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law. Also, both men appreciate teenage women, but Moore had to pursue them at the Gadsden Mall, since he didn’t have access to the dressing rooms of Miss Teen USA contestants.
