During an interview with radio talk show host Sean Hannity, Judge Roy Moore said his campaign is investigating the report and says there may be some evidence of collusion in the Washington Post hit piece against him.
According to Breitbart, when Hannity asked him to respond to the dozens of establishment Republicans demanding he step down from his race for the U.S. Senate, he said (Emphasis added):
If you step aside for any allegation, then you might as well not run because when you run you’re going to get allegations. First, I would tell these individuals they wouldn’t make good judges. They wouldn’t make good people in the judicial system because you are innocent until proven guilty. In this case, this woman has waited over 40 years to bring a complaint four weeks out of an election? It’s obvious to the casual observer that something is up. We’re also doing an investigation and we have some evidence of some collusion here but we’re not ready to put that to the public just yet.
Here’s video of the interview:
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Breitbart added:
Hannity, in response, asked Moore whether that means he is “trying to prove” his innocence—to which Moore affirmed that he was:
Well, just like you said, they’re doing it to defeat this senate campaign. They’re bringing something, they’re trying to mix something up from other girls that never said anything about sexual impropriety and they’re all labeling it on this 14-year-old. I had nothing to do with this. This is a completely manufactured story meant to defraud this campaign. They’re losing. They’re 11 points behind. They don’t like my acknowledgment there is a God. We’ve refused to debate them because of their very liberal stance on transgenderism and transgenderism in the military and bathrooms. They’re desperate. Sean, they’re simply desperate.
Next, Hannity pressed Moore on specifically on what he thinks about the idea of a Senate candidate dating young girls:
HANNITY: “Well, let me ask you a general question.”
MOORE: “Yes.”
HANNITY: “Let’s take you out of this for a second. Let’s say, if any Senate candidate who was 32 at the time had done this to a 14-year-old girl, to me it’s disgusting. To me, it would be despicable. To me, that is a predator.”
MOORE: “Yeah.”
HANNITY: “Do you agree with me, that no such person who ever does that should ever be in the United States Senate?”
MOORE: “Of course. Nobody who abuses a 14-year-old at age 32 or age 17—it doesn’t matter—if you abuse a 14-year-old you shouldn’t be a Senate candidate. I agree with that. But I did not do that.”
HANNITY: “Let’s go back to it one more question, because I didn’t understand this. If you were 32, and you do date a 17 or 18 year old—that’s a pretty big gap for a pretty young girl—is that something that you did when you were dating? I’m not talking about the 14-year-old in that specific allegation. Would it be normal behavior back in those days for you to date a girl that’s 17 or 18?”
MOORE: “No. Not normal.”
HANNITY: “My daughter is 16 years old. If she’s 17 or 18, I don’t want her dating a 32-year-old.”
MOORE: “I wouldn’t either.”
HANNITY: “And you can say unequivocally that you never dated anybody that was in their late teens like that when you were 32?”
MOORE: “It would have been out of my customary behavior, that’s right.”
HANNITY: “In other words, you don’t recall dating any girl that young when you were that old?”
MOORE: “I’ve said no.”
HANNITY: “And you think that’s inappropriate, too, that’s what you’re saying?”
MOORE: “Yes.”
As we reported earlier, the Washington Post, which endorsed Moore’s Democrat opponent, failed to report that one accuser has ties to prominent Democrats, worked for Hillary Clinton and liked various Soros-linked groups on social media.
And it seems that even though GOP elites have already condemned Moore, voters haven’t.
