Reasons conservatives give for supporting Roy Moore:
- Jesus’ dad did it — so Moore was being Biblical
- It was so long ago that she’s the age of consent now
- Only one of his victims was 14-years old-— the rest were 16 and 17
- Yeah, 14-years old but c’mon, it was probably consensual (Hannity)
- It was the girl’s fault somehow for not making “good decisions”
- The rape wasn’t “forcible” enough to be a concern
- Screw the victims, they should all be prosecuted for coming forward now
- Yeah, child rape and all, but at least he’s not a Democrat—I’m voting for him anyway
