Conway Says Trump ‘Has Tremendous Moral Standards’ After Backing Accused Child Molester Moore
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway defended President Trump’s endorsement of Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore on Wednesday by citing the Trump’s high moral standards.
“The president has tremendous moral standards. He has said, the White House has said the allegations are troubling,” Conway told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on “New Day,” after Cuomo said “the president seems to have no moral standard at play.”
“The president has said the following: the allegations are troubling, Roy Moore has denied them, the president said they’re 40 years old,” she said.
“Nobody came forward before, the guy’s been on the ballot many times, Doug Jones is a liberal Democrat the president has said, and he doesn’t want a liberal Democrat representing Alabama in the United States Senate,” she continued.

Trump gave his full endorsement of Moore on Monday, telling Alabama voters that his vote was needed in the Senate to push the Republican agenda.
“Democrats refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need Republican Roy Moore to win in Alabama,” the president said in a tweet.
“We need his vote on stopping crime, illegal immigration, Border Wall, Military, Pro Life, V.A., Judges 2nd Amendment and more. No to Jones, a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet!,” he continued, referencing Democratic leaders in the Senate.
