I posted this because looking at the reactions (to the allegations against Judge Moore) as posted by the MSM one would think Trump had joined the lynch mob.
White House Reacts: ‘Allegation’ Should Not Destroy Roy Moore’s Life by Charlie Spiering 10 Nov 2017
The White House defended allegations against Judge Roy Moore published by the Washington Post, but suggested that he should step down if they are true.
“Like most Americans, the president does not believe we can allow a mere allegation, in this case one from many years ago, to destroy a person’s life,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. “However, the president also believes that if these allegations are true, Judge Moore will do the right thing and step aside.”
The Washington Post story featured an accusation from a woman who said that Moore initiated sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl and pursued relationships with three other teenagers when he was in his 30s.
