Internet Outraged as Trump Fully Endorses ‘Fellow Sexual Assaulter’ Roy Moore
‘Every Trump Supporter Is Complicit in This Abomination’
At 7:00 AM Monday President Donald Trump removed the sham of keeping a veil between him and Roy Moore by fully endorsing the Republican Party candidate for Alabama’s open U.S. Senate seat. And immediately the Internet expressed outrage.
Trump posted two consecutive tweets embracing Roy Moore, telling Alabama voters, “Democrats refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need Republican Roy Moore to win in Alabama.”
The president in each tweet calls Democrat Doug Jones a “Pelosi/Schumer Puppet,” and says putting him “into office in Alabama would hurt our great Republican Agenda of low on taxes, tough on crime, strong on military and borders.”
Democrats refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need Republican Roy Moore to win in Alabama. We need his vote on stopping crime, illegal immigration, Border Wall, Military, Pro Life, V.A., Judges 2nd Amendment and more. No to Jones, a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet!

Putting Pelosi/Schumer Liberal Puppet Jones into office in Alabama would hurt our great Republican Agenda of low on taxes, tough on crime, strong on military and borders…& so much more. Look at your 401-k’s since Election. Highest Stock Market EVER! Jobs are roaring back!

Moore, aside from holding strong anti-gay, anti-immigrant, anti-Islam opinions and having proved he has little grasp of the issues has been accused by nine credible women of child sexual assault, sexual assault, and vigorously pursuing teen girls when he was in his 30’s.
Trump himself has been accused of inappropriate sexual behavior by at least 16 women, all of whom he threatened to sue after the election, which was 13 months ago. Trump’s press secretary has said it is the official position of the White House that every one of those women is lying.
On Twitter, many immediately expressed outrage over Trump’s endorsement of Moore.
Full throated presidential endorsement for @MooreSenate, who has been credibly accused by Alabama women of sexually molesting a 14 year old and of sexually assaulting a 16 year old. https://t.co/GsQeO2rcuH

The GOP is now getting behind a child molestor. Trump is going to do a rally outside of Mobile, Alabama to indirectly support Roy Moore. Mitch McConnell is now backtracking his denunciation of Moore. The Republican Party accepts an accused child predator as a candidate.

Evangelical voters in Alabama, take heed. When Trump & Kellyanne Conway say you should set aside your Christian morals and elect Roy Moore they’re suckering you into making a mockery of Jesus. The country won’t forgive you and God won’t either. Read Mark 3:28-29 #GOPTRUMPRAPEOK

There are two types of GOPers today:
1. Those who saw Trump endorse Moore this morning and wondered quietly how long they can stick w the party.
2. Those who cheered.

This is the best endorsement for @GDouglasJones I’ve read so far.
Trump: “Vote for child molester because taxes.”
Alabama, you can do so much better than Moore and Trump.#MondayMotivation #NoMoore#RoyMooreChildMolester pic.twitter.com/m6Y7Z3wMWH

Trump has endorsed Roy Moore on the one year anniversary of a dude firing a gun in Comet Ping Pong bc of a fake pedophilia scandal.
*chef’s kiss*
Perfection.

So child molestation is a small price to pay for tax cuts? There are no words. Trump and his GOP sink ever further into the moral abyss. Every Trump supporter is complicit in this abomination. https://t.co/4OwE5oV7HR

So, wait, fight crime by electing the guy who, as an adult, allegedly trolled malls for teenage girls and molested a 14-year-old? https://t.co/1kRMI8iiUr

It’s horrifying that a sitting President would support a man accused of sexually assaulting multiple underage women.
But it’s not surprising that Donald Trump – himself accused of sexual assault by over a dozen women – would do so.
Trump and Roy Moore are birds of a feather. https://t.co/l5WSiEr6Zk

A pedophile who was removed from the Alabama supreme court twice is not tough on crime. Doug Jones, on the other hand, is a former prosecutor who convicted 2 Ku Klux Klan members in a Birmingham church bombing that killed 4 black girls.

In the past 24 hours, the @POTUS has viciously attacked the FBI and endorsed an alleged child molester as a crime fighter. https://t.co/mX47BgKZCU
