The total and complete moral vacuum in the White House
The White House wants Roy Moore's vote, but doesn't want to talk about Moore
Washington (CNN)The White House isn't saying that President Donald Trump supports Roy Moore. But Trump's aides are openly acknowledging something close: They need Moore's Republican vote in the Senate.
"I'm telling you that we want the votes in the Senate to get this tax bill through," White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said when asked on "Fox & Friends" whether Alabamians should vote for Moore in next month's special election. It was a major reversal four days after she said on the same program that "no Senate seat is worth more than a child."
Hours later, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters that Trump is leaving it up to Alabama voters to sort through the sexual allegations facing Moore.
But she acknowledged Moore's party affiliation is a factor, saying that "the President wants people both in the House and the Senate that support his agenda."
