and threatens people. he has a tenuous relationship with the truth why do you think christians sport him. first of all the evangelical community are not monolithic there are varying opinion base the bhous and the ppt everyone doesn t agree with him and what he is doing. but they do think redepartmentively. they believe they should have a prophetic and moral presence in society. unfortunately when that moral voice becomes challenged and loses credibility then they ve got a problem. because our greatest strength is moral influence on society. moore sent out a fund raising email after the story broke he says the forces the forces of evil will light, cheat, steel even inflict physical harm if they believe it will silence and shut up christian conservatives like you and me. do you find that to be true. no that is political
ultimately okay. he says take joseph and mary mary was a teenager. joseph waradult carpenter became parents of jesus. there is just nothing immoral or illegal here. maybe just a little bit unusual. and then his brother moore s brother jerry told cnn martin safe savage that his brother is being persecuted like jesus christ. as a person of faith how do you feel about that does that make you uncomfortable. i feel disturbed by it because any time we continue the american narrative which is to misuse skrirpt to justify acts of oppression or violence that s the american story. i think it s pro post-rouse to present ourselves on par with jesus. we are making scriptual compareses a lot of the leadership is more of a saul who was a concession by god placed in position of power to expose the spiritual and moral condition of a nation.
a conspiracy by the washington establishment and mitch mcconnell because they don t know what to do with roy moore. the question of whether this is actually true or not seems to be way down on the list. and like daniel said, there s even a number of them who say even if it were true, they don t care, which is the most stunning thing out of this and really the most troubling for people who claim to prefer roy moore because of his so-called morality. steve bannon commented on this just last night. listen to what he said. the bees yoez amazon washington post that dropped that dime on donald trump is the same bay yoez amazon washington post that dropped the dime this afternoon on judge roy moore. now, is that a coincidence? that s what i mean when i say opposition party. john, does that defense land
maybe of his statement and sort of that situation, although he did deny rumors or said that these were rumors and said that it wasn t true about a year ago. now at least he s acknowledging it. but it s a big deal for men to acknowledge their mistakes in public and a thing that they re learning to do. let s go back to politics. we have roy moore who is facing, as you said, allegations of peed feela. it s believed he will still win the alabama senate race and become a sitting senator for that state. the national republican party is condemning him, quote, if true. the local republican party is sticking by him and saying that even if it is true, we still like him better than the democrat, some at least in the local republican party. but then you have some of the outliers like john mccain who have said the allegations against roy moore are deeply disturbing and disqualifying. he should immediately step aside and allow the people of alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of. and
14-year-olds don t make god decisions and another said it was 40 years ago and that he didn t see the relevance of it today. amber, i like to say this a lot. this doesn t happen in a vacuum. roy moore is not somebody who was not controversial before this sort of before these allegations. in the past he s said homosexual conduct should be illegal, 9/11 was god punishing perverseness, personal belief was that obama wasn t born here. he said muslims should not sit in congress. was stridentel against keith elson. and islam is contrary to the u.s. constitution. he also made a ruling that didn t allow a lesbian mother to see her child because he thought that her way of life would be detrimental to the child. so, amber, if this is okay with voters, if they end up voting for this man to serve in the
