GOP Sen. Cassidy Rejects Equivalence Between Roy Moore and Al Franken Allegations: There is a Difference
by Caleb Ecarma | 11:00 am, December 7th, 2017
While explaining his decision to un-endorse GOP Senate candidate and alleged child molester Roy Moore, Senator Bill Cassidy said there is a difference between a 14-year-old-girl and an adult female when it comes to cases of sexual misconduct.
The Louisiana Republican made the comments while appearing on the radio show of Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade. Cassidy comments doubling down on his condemnation of Moore as the candidate faces multiple accusations of predatory behavior and sexual assault come as the RNC and President Donald Trump endorsed the controversial candidate.
Do you feel the president made the right decision giving a full-throated endorsement of Roy Moore? Asked Kilmeade. I cant comment on the presidents actions I retracted my endorsement of Roy Moore and now its up to the people of Alabama to decide, but on a personal level I just decided I dont want to be there
That [retraction] still stands, responded Cassidy.
When asked about the mounting allegations against Senator Al Franken of Minnesota, Cassidy remained adamant in not equating his case with Moores, saying, Again its up to the people of Minnesota but if Al Franken has been involved in this kind of activity as a senator thats problematic on the other hand there is a difference between a 14-year-old girl and an adult female, I will say that.

(17,387 posts)...misinterpreted his point, since he also seemed to condemn Franken.

(540 posts)He does not support child molester Moore.
He also says molesting a 14 year old is not the same as stealing a kiss from an adult woman.

(45,438 posts)My take away from this is Again its up to the people of Minnesota". I would agree with that approach for Franken.
