Prez to tape robocall for Roy Moore
PRESIDENT TRUMP has already lent his support to Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore. Now he’s lending his voice.
Trump has agreed to record a robocall for the accused child molester running on the GOP ticket, the White House confirmed Saturday night.
The call is expected to go out to Alabama homes on Monday, the day before the long-awaited special election.
A total of eight women have come forward with stomach-churning stories of unwanted sexual contact from Moore (pictured).
Six of them said they were underage at the time of the incidents. The youngest said she was just 14 when a 32-year-old Moore groped her inside his home.
The allegations haven’t turned off Trump, who pledged his support for the accused sexual predator as recently as Friday night.
“We can’t afford to have a liberal Democrat,” Trump said at a rally in Pensacola, Fla., claiming Democrat Doug Jones would be a “total puppet.”
Earlier in the day, Trump posted a terse tweet imploring his followers to support Moore, who was twice suspended as the chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.
“VOTE ROY Trump wrote. MOORE!” EMMY-WINNING actor Keegan-Michael Key used his trademark humor to urge Alabamians to vote for Doug Jones in the state’s special senate election Tuesday.
“You wanna know what Doug Jones is all about? He wants your children to have the same quality education as any other child no matter what their social and economic status is,” the “Key & Peele” actor says in the twominute campaign video.
He also touched on the scandals swirling around Jones’ opponent Roy Moore. “He’s banned from the mall?” the incredulous star says in the spot.
“The most important thing is for Alabamians to be reminded to get out and vote, and that every vote counts,” Key (photo) told the Daily News. PRESIDENT TRUMP paid tribute to African-American civil rights leaders in Mississippi on Saturday amid protests and boycotts over his presence at the opening of a museum dedicated to the movement.
A few dozen demonstrators jeered and shouted as the President’s motorcade arrived in Jackson, Miss., for the debut of the state-sponsored institution.
Once inside, Trump addressed a small group of attendees — after touring exhibits that told the story of a state that was at the center of the struggle for equality, as well as its racially charged past.
“The civil rights museum records the oppression, cruelty and injustice inflicted on the African-American community, the fight to end slavery, to break down Jim Crow, to end segregation, to gain the right to vote and to achieve the sacred birthright of equality,” Trump said. “That’s big stuff. That’s big stuff. Those are very big phrases, very big words.”
One day earlier, Trump campaigned for Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore, who aside from facing sexual misconduct allegations, has made several overtly racist comments.
During a rally in Florence, Ala., in September, a black audience member asked Moore when he thought America was last great.
“I think it was great at the time when families were united — even though we had slavery — they cared for one another,” Moore replied, according to the Los Angeles Times. “Our families were strong, our country had a direction.”
The President’s appearance at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum on Saturday prompted several prominent African-American lawmakers to boycott the event — despite their own roles in the civil rights movement.
