On Friday, CNN’s Dana Bash asked Marc Short, the White House legislative director, why Trump has remained silent on Moore while attacking Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) for alleged sexual misconduct.

“Is the President not being a hypocrite in tweeting about Al Franken and saying nothing about allegations about the Republican, Roy Moore?” she asked.

Short said “there’s a little short-term memory here.”

“The President went down and campaigned against Roy Moore,” he said. “He campaigned for Luther Strange. The President was very active in this campaign. He chose a different candidate.”

Moore won the Republican Senate primary on Sept. 26. The first accusations of misconduct against him — namely, allegedly making sexual advances on a 14-year-old when he was 32 — were reported by the Washington Post on Nov. 9. Trump also threw his support behind Moore the moment he defeated Strange.

1. It was a "yes" or "no" question....

“The President went down and campaigned against Roy Moore. He campaigned for Luther Strange. The President was very active in this campaign. He chose a different candidate.” - Marc Short.

But that wasn't the question, was it Marc?

Is the President a hypocrite for tweeting about Al Franken while saying nothing about Roy Moore?”

It was a "yes" or "no" question.

4. Massive hypocrisy by Shitler who sets a standard for moral conduct he himself is alledged

to have breached dozens of times. Even the deplorables may be able to open their glued shut eyes long enough to see this.

This Mother of all Hypocrisy may finally plunge his polling into the 20's.

2. Maybe they'll throw Strange in at the last minute as a write-in.

Stranger things have happened. And that would guarantee Jones' victory.
