McConnell doesn't have to look like he cares anymore.

Now that Senate Republicans have finally made progress on their huge tax giveaway to the wealthiest Americans, they're finally freed from having to pretend to care about pettier issues like national debt, the middle class, or sex abuse. Mitch McConnell demonstrated that Sunday morning on ABC's This Week.

When the Washington Post first reported that Roy Moore was accused of making sexual advances on teenage girls, McConnell said that he believed the accusers, and called for Moore to step aside so that a less controversial Republican could take his place. But McConnell seems to have come out of that uncharacteristically ethical-sounding fugue state. When George Stephanopoulos asked him about the sexual misconduct allegations against Moore, the Senate majority leader completely back-pedaled:

"I'm gonna let the people of Alabama make the call. The election's been going on a long time, there's a lot of discussion about it, and they're gonna make the decision a week from Tuesday."

When pressed on whether or not he believes the Senate should investigate, McConnell gives what sounds like an automated response while refusing to even say Moore's name: "The ethics committee will have to consider the matters that have been litigated in the campaign should that particular candidate win."

A few things. Moore's poll ratings have always been higher than his opponent. Secondly it hasn't been proven that Moore is guilty of anything (maybe he is maybe he isn't but there is no proof either way). The third thing is McConnell is an establishment puppet so who cares what he thinks?

Trump always supported child molester Moore. Remember the Entertainment Tonight video. Trump considers sexual assault a normal thing.

Actually Trump supported Luther Strange but nice try. In what video does Trump consider sexual assault a normal thing? Some on the left are really delusional I guess.

Some people will distort reality to defend Trump.

So you deny Trump supported Strange over Moore? Talk about delusional. The left is so filled with hatred for Trump and anyone who doesn't support their race baiting virtue signaling platform that they deny reality.

Is that the new standard? Alleged child molesters can run for Senate no questions asked?

With no answers that make common sense from the candidate. There is not scant evidence, there is an abundance. These women have come public and have nothing to gain and everything to loose.

 

Let's just be truthful, seating a child molester is preferred over the opposite party however virtous, competent or honest the opononent is, because our side needs the vote.. That is how far down the toilet we are in society, nothing matters.

I guess it is up to the people voting and Moore himself.  I am sure the same questions will come up with Franken, but it looks like Conyers is going to take his pension and go home.

Yeah, that is exactly where the cognitive dissonance is happening. /S
