Trump Advocates for Roy Moore, Says Doug Jones the ‘Last Thing We Need in Alabama and the U.S. Senate’

“Jones Would Be a Disaster”

Donald Trump began his Sunday morning by advocating for Roy Moore, who is accused by at least nine women of various acts of inappropriate behavior, child sexual assault, and sexual assault.

“The last thing we need in Alabama and the U.S. Senate is a Schumer/Pelosi puppet who is WEAK on crime, WEAK on the Border, Bad for our Military and our great Vets, Bad for our 2nd Amendment, AND WANTS TO [sic] RAISES TAXES TO THE SKY,” the president tweeted. “Jones would be a disaster!”

Moore reportedly has a history of hitting on teenaged girls as young as 14, and many of his accusers have advised they were 16 to 18 when he pursued them.

As the Washington Post has reported, Doug Jones is also not “weak on crime.” Whereas Roy Moore has been removed from the state’s Supreme Court – twice – Jones prosecuted KKK members who bombed an African American church in Birmingham in 1963.

The president’s early morning advocacy for Roy Moore may not come as a surprise for some.

This week, Trump finally weighed in on the scandal surrounding Moore, opting to defend him because the former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice “totally denies” the allegations. The president further asserted that “we don’t need a liberal person” to fill Alabama’s open Senate seat.

On Saturday, the New York Times reported that Trump has expressed his frustration that his daughter, top White House aid Ivanka Trump, publicly denounced the embattled Senate-hopeful.

The same report noted that Donald Trump, likening himself to Moore, is reportedly questioning the authenticity of the “Access Hollywood” tape in which he brags about sexual assaulting women.
