Trump Backs Roy Moore Amid Accusations
President Trump spoke for the first time to reporters about the accusations of sexual misconduct against U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore, emphasizing that electing “liberal” Democratic opponent Doug Jones would be bad for the nation and that Moore has totally denied the allegations.
The president was asked if he will campaign for Moore ahead of the Dec. 12 special election to fill the Alabama seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
“I’ll be letting you know next week,” the president said as he prepared to board Marine One on his way to Air Force One and a trip to his home in South Florida for the Thanksgiving break.
“I can tell you one thing for sure,” Trump said. “We don’t need a liberal person in there, a Democrat, Jones. I’ve looked at his record. It’s terrible on crime. It’s terrible on the border. It’s terrible on the military.”
Trump was asked if a candidate accused of improper sexual contact with a child was better than a Democrat. (Read more from “Trump Backs Roy Moore Amid Accusations” HERE)
