Alabama columnist: Roy Moore first took interest in his wife when she was underage
BY AVERY ANAPOL - 11/21/17 09:54 AM EST
A columnist for an Alabama newspaper slammed supporters of GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore who say they believe him over the many women who have accused him of sexual misconduct with underage girls.
Kyle Whitmire, a political columnist for Alabama Media Group, wrote in his Monday column that Moore’s “own words” explain his attraction to underage women, particularly when talking about how he met his own wife.
“It doesn't matter how many other women come forward to say Moore solicited them too,” Whitmire writes. “But I urge those folks who still don't believe to listen to the words. But not hers. Or hers. Or theirs. Listen to his.”
In Moore’s book, Whitmire writes, he describes meeting his wife, Kayla, at a Christmas party when he was 37 and she was 23. Moore goes on to say that he thought he recalled the same woman performing in a dance recital at a junior college “many years before,” later determining that it was, in fact, his wife, who would have been a teenager at the time.
“Take a second to think about what's being said here,” Whitmire writes. “Moore first took notice of Kayla at a dance recital? Perhaps you're wondering what "many years" means, and I wondered that too. Luckily, Moore again has cleared that up for us.”
