On Friday, CNNs 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 theres 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.

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