Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Sunday that Roy Moore should step down as the GOP's nominee in Alabama's upcoming Senate special election if accusations of sexual misconduct "prove to be true."

In an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Mnuchin declined to say whether he believed a Washington Post story describing how Moore pursued relationships with teenage girls when he was in his 30s. One woman accused Moore of molesting her when she was 14.

"I'm not an expert on this issue," Mnuchin said. "People should investigate this issue and get the facts. If these allegations are true, absolutely, this is incredibly inappropriate behavior."

Pressed by host Jake Tapper on whether he personally thought the accusations were accurate, Mnuchin said, "I just watch what I see on TV."

That's the line the rest of your party is taking. That's a win-win for you, and you know it.

Accepting that your Republican party is chock full of pussy-grabbers, pedophiles, and Putin lovers, and that it all doesn't matter anyway, is your first liberating step to greatness.

Guy reminds me of the Carly Simon song, “You’re so vain”.

Especially with his solar eclipse excursion to Fort Knox.
