An Alabama Republican is standing by Roy Moore, their candidate for Senate in an upcoming special election.
Alabama state auditor Jim Ziegler, a Republican operator, gave an interviews in which he justified Moore’s assaults on children by citing scripture, noting that “Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter” and stating that Moore’s assaults on children were “nothing immoral or illegal…Maybe just a little bit unusual.”
Today’s Republican Party isn’t misogynist and utterly amoral and fascist, just maybe a little bit unusual. And of course Steve Bannon is blaming the media, not denying the serious allegations the media are reporting.
