As for the open Alabama seat, Trump has remained unusually quiet, ignoring questions from reporters. But today, he couldn’t help himself.

This is worth noting because WH spokesperson Sarah Sanders had said on several occasions that Trump supported the RNC’s decision to cut off support for Roy Moore. Yeah, she lied.
When asked if it is better to have a child predator than a Democrat in that seat, Trump responded…
TRUMP: “Roy Moore denies it. That’s all I can say—he denies it. And by the way, he totally denies it.”

Trump on Moore: “He is in total denial. I do have to say, 40 years is a long time. He has run eight races and this has never come up. The women are trump voters. Most of them are trump voters. All you can do is you have to do what you have to do. He totally denies it.” pic.twitter.com/bVoVopcUWo
