Molesting kids is okay, if you belong to the Party of the Anti-Christ

The governor of Alabama says so — and so does the White House

 

Governor Kay Ivey seems to have the same relaxed sense of morality that so many pretend evangelicals share:

 

 

“I believe in the Republican Party, what we stand for, and most important, we need to have a Republican in the United States Senate to vote on things like the Supreme Court justices, other appointments the Senate has to confirm and make major decisions. So that’s what I plan to do, vote for Republican nominee Roy Moore.”

 

Ivey claimed that while she does believe the sexual assault and harassment allegations being hurled at the 70-year-old, she feels she must stay loyal to her party.

 

“I certainly have no reason to disbelieve any of them,” Ivey said of Moore’s accusers.

 

“But at the same time, the United States Senate needs to have . . . a majority of Republican votes to carry the day . . . .”

It makes sense. In some Circle of Hell.

 

 

Then there's the White House

 

Always ready to parade its Trumpian uprightness in front of American youth:

 

 

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway urged Alabamans to vote for Republican Roy Moore, who is facing multiple allegations of child sex abuse, in the upcoming special election.

 

Her reasoning: congressional GOP members needed a win on tax reform.

 

“Doug Jones in Alabama, folks, don’t be fooled,” she said. “He will 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. And Doug Jones is a doctrinaire liberal, which is why he’s not saying anything and why the media are trying to boost him.”

 

“So vote Roy Moore?” host Brian Kilmeade countered.

 

After a beat, Conway replied, “I’m telling you that we want the votes in the Senate to get this tax bill through.”

 

She added that, “if the media were really concerned about all of these allegations”, senators like Al Franken, who was recently accused of groping two women, and Bob Menendez, whose corruption case recently ended in a mistrial, would no longer have their jobs on Capitol Hill.

Tit for Tat City. To use a horrible pun.

 

 

The moral? — The Party of the Anti-Christ traipses happily along

 

No river of self-initiated repulsiveness is too deep to for it to wade.
