San francisco, roy moore republican colleagues, a new powerful voice that has weighed in. United states Attorney General and former senior senator from alabama, Jeff Sessions joined a number of his former colleagues in saying he has no reason to doubt the women who have accused u. S. Senate candidate roy moore of Sexual Misconduct allegations moore denies. Heres the Attorney General. I took the liberty of reviewing federal crimes against children, particularly those dealing with sexual or physical abuse. As you well know, lee coughman, wendy miller, debby watson gibson and Beverly Young nelson, these young women have accused this individual, judge moore, who is running for a federal office, the United States senate, of child sexual activity. Do you believe these young women . I am have no reas
us in the senate impeachment committee. he s a hard get at least in this show and he s the number two democrat in the senate and he knows everything that s going in in this fight about how the sept is going to judge this case. majority leader mitch mcconnell says the legislative body he leads will leave an entirely he should take one of those citizenship tests. i swear half these guys would flunk them. mcconnell says forget about it. remember if it looks bad it is and they ll show you it looks worse. anyway, let s watch mcconnell. if house democrats case is this deficient, this thin the answer is not for the judge and jury to cure it over here in the senate. is he elmer fud or bugz bunny? plus rudy giuliani still pushing discredited conspiracy theories to anyone who will listen. there he is still talking.
should allow even meetings to occur with trump s nominee to fill this vacancy by justice kennedy. i think they have to fight eye for an eye for what happened in 16 where the republicans, led by mitch mcconnell, refused to even consider or even meet with merrick garland. i think if the democratic leadership under schumer allows this to go forward, they re going to have a huge problem with the democratic base. we saw joe crowley get beaten up in new york, up in queens yesterday. you can tell that this leadership will be to the tott edge if they allow this to proceed. there is no way politically the democratic base will stand for any kind of hearings or vote on a trump nominee for the supreme court before the election. we ve got an election in 4 1/2 months. there s no reason to consider a replacement on the supreme court in that time. no reason given the history of what happened. let s watch mcconnell now i m telling you, they have no right to bring this up after what they did in 16.
i appreciate that you can have your idea. sometime we have to study what the facts are and to evaluate whether it meets the standard that requires a special counsel. as the republicans pushing hard for a special counsel, the attorney general s boss, president trump, he s also on the case. let s watch. you know, the saddest thing is that because i m the president of the united states i am not supposed to be involved with the justice department. i m not supposed to be involved with the fbi. i m not supposed to be doing the kind of things that i would love to be doing and i m very frustrated by it. i m not involved with the justice department. i d like to let it run itself. they should be looking at the democrats and at podesta and all that dishonesty. a lot of people are disappointed in the justice department, including me. i m joining with barbara
hesitation, which is absolutely false. i never did what she said i did. i don t even know the woman. i don t know anything about her. i don t even know where the restaurant is or was. if you look at this situation, you ll see that because i m 11 points or 10 or 11 points ahead, this race being 28 days off, this is a political maneuver. maybe they should confront each other. that would be good. anyway, as of now 15 senators are called on moore to withdraw from the race. five have withheld comment. a majority are qualified their remarks by saying the allegations are true, moore should step aside. it s too late to remove moore from the ballot, mcmcconnell told reporters he had spoken to the president and he was exploring all options. let s watch mcconnell. there s no question there s a deep concern here. roy moore should step aside. the women who have come forward
