"Vote Roy Moore?": WH Continues to Endorse Moore Despite Sexual Assault Allegations
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The White House appears to be continuing to endorse Alabama Republican
Senate candidate Roy Moore, despite the fact that nine women have
accused Moore of sexually harassing or assaulting them when they were
teenagers. The New Yorker reports Moore was banned from a local mall and
a YMCA in Alabama because he repeatedly badgered teenage girls, in some
cases soliciting sex from young girls. This is Senior White House aide
Kellyanne Conway bashing Moore's opponent, Doug Jones, in an interview
with Fox News.

Bq. Kellyanne Conway: "Folks, don't be fooled. He'll be a vote against
tax cuts. He is weak on crime. Weak on borders. He's strong on raising
your taxes. He is terrible for property owners," Conway told Fox &
Friends. "And Doug Jones is a doctrinaire liberal, which is why he's not
saying anything and why the media are trying to boost him."

Bq. Brian Kilmeade: "So, vote Roy Moore?"

Bq. Kellyanne Conway: "I'm telling you, we want the votes in the Senate
to get this tax bill through."
