After a long pause, Alabama Bibb County Republican chairman Jerry Pow tells me he'd vote for Roy Moore even if Moore did commit a sex crime against a girl. "I would vote for Judge Moore because I wouldn't want to vote for Doug," he says. "I'm not saying I support what he did."

Alabama Geneva County GOP chairman Riley Seibenhener, who called me back, says he doesn't believe the allegations are true, but if they're true he won't support him - but, at the same time, it's not "forcible rape." "I know that 14-year-olds don't make good decisions," he adds.

Alabama GOP is fine with child molestation for political reasons. Alabamans, imagine what they'll let happen to YOU for political reasons.

As the mother of a teenage daughter, my heart physically hurts at all of this news. Not just the molesting of a 14 y/o girl, but the defense of it for purposes of winning an election. God help us.

The almost naked 14 year old that was with the almost naked 30 year old, says otherwise.
#Ibelieveher and trying to minimize sexual assault is horrifying. Riley is a sick man if he's legitimately trying to defend this.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

"I know that's bad enough, but I don't know." What a quote. "I see the criminal immorality but I choose to excuse it for partisanship." - The GOP's standard line now.https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/928774808808108035 …
