do you think there s any chance he drops out of this race? no, no, you don t know roy moore. he is a fighter. if you got to have somebody in a fox hole with you, you want roy moore. the big question now his supporters are asking is why now? why are these allegations coming to light 40 years after the fact. are they waging a smear campaign against moore. is it organized by the democrats? establishment republicans like mitch mcconnell? they want more proof, koroeb ration and they want moore to stay in the race and they say he can win. thanks so much. appreciate it. outfront now, last bell, the republican party chair of st. clair county, alabama and the former democratic governor of michigan, jennifer granholm is here. lance, let me just get your take. what do you have to say about all this tonight? i guess it s a scale d back
against roy moore. this is the account of four women on the record against roy moore. one of whom is a trump voter and a long time republican voter. and they don t know one another. how is this a collusion? go ahead. i m not saying it s a collusion. i m saying let s take a step back and let s see what s happening. let s give it a few days. let the story develop. let s let those facts come out. give it a little time. don t rush to judgment. lot of times when we rush to judgment, we make mistakes. governor, let me ask you this. in the end right now, unless something changes, there s no talk of there being a case or investigation. this is up to the voters in alabama. many are telling our correspon s respondents on the ground, they re going to give roy moore the benefit of the doubt. is that the beginning and end of it? no, it s not the beginning
let s give it a few days, some time. don t rush to judgment and you know, convict somebody basically on public outcry from different people. let s wait and what happens. if this occurred, i don t care if it s a political candidate or a citizen. if these facts occurred, that person should be prosecuted and should not be in politics. should not be leading in government. but i think we got to step back and we got to let this have more time to develop before we make a judgment call on what we re going to do. governor, do you think this is time to step back? well, no, but i m curious, mr. bell, does that mean, you calling for an investigation? would you, is there an opportunity, how else are more facts going to come forward without additional veinvestigaie journalism or o an investigation from the criminal arena? well, governor, you spent some years as attorney general and you re in alabama.
he s gone. right? does this whole, the issue we re talking about with gulan and the kidnapping or whatever, does this still pose a problem b for the administration? yeah because i actually think this story is about donald trump. because remember, it is about flynn that the comey firing sort of starts to unravel. remember just taking people back. comey is told by president trump and this was you know reported at the time, president trump tells him he s a great guy, he s a great guy. don t do anything with him. this is after flynn s gone. and then comey is fired. is obstruction of justice of the totality of the allegations going on now. flynn is very relevant because flynn is linked to the comey firing. so i think this story has as much to do with trump as it has
that i don t like him as much. neil: what if the other guy is a better golfer and making you regret going golfing because he is showing you up? well, that is why you have handicaps. that is what handicaps are for. they can say a lot. i play with a lot of guys who say they are a five handicap and they shoot 110 and then guys say they are a 20 and shoot 75. either way it kind of an insight into maybe the ego or competitiveness. neil: i hear you, tom. one tomb i got a 72. on the second hole i think it was. tom, thank you. i don t want to play with you then. neil: believe me, you u don t. thank you, tom, very much. thank you. neil: this segue from hitting balls to holding them. you would think after the last couple of weeks of intense weenies orl mean of between
