In case you haven’t been following the madness that is the Alabama special election, Republican Senate hopeful Roy Moore is currently embroiled in multiple sexual harassment and assault allegations involving underage girls — allegations he has consistently denied. So, who did a Trump-supporting super PAC recently send to interview Moore? Well, an underage girl. Needless to say, the video of Roy Moore being interviewed by a 12-year-old girl is so, so cringeworthy, and just altogether tone-deaf.
On Dec. 10, America First Project, a pro-Trump group founded by Breitbart staffers, posted a video of 12-year-old Millie March interviewing Moore. March, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, donned her «Make America Great Again» hat and chatted with Moore about his campaign. The conversation was a strategic one.
“We decided that we were going to bring Millie to Alabama, after everything that’s happened in this Alabama Senate race up until this point,” America First Project’s Jennifer Lawrence said at the beginning of the video. Lawrence added that they aimed to show that there are «a wide range of people who support Roy Moore.»
It definitely seems like an odd choice to send a 12-year-old to interview Moore – especially in light of, you know, everything. And yes, this young girl may support Moore’s run for office, but that doesn’t mean the allegations should go away.
In the video, March asks Moore about what he believes Alabamans care about (religious liberty, healthcare, taxes) and what he’s pushing for (fighting illegal immigration, building a wall, doing away with income taxes).
https://t.co/PvzYWFESLR This is so wrong on so many levels. Would you send your teenage daughter to interview Roy Moore, knowing what we know now? I would rather tie a piece of red meat to neck and enter a lion’s den!!!
And we thought we saw it all! OMG! A young girl used as a political pawn for Alabama’s Roy Moore! Shame on AL & the parents! Reps have NO bottom-there is always another new LOW for them! #NoMoore https://t.co/aHkKRTUYvC via @youtube
Millie: «What’s the age range or age group or what kinda people are supporting Judge Moore right now?» Roy Moore’s campaign manager «I wish I could say it’s the 11- to 12-year-olds» https://t.co/DNuC0sZGM7
A pro-Trump SuperPAC sent a 12-year-old girl to interview Roy Moore which is really going right at your main problem https://t.co/1WS4vIYWU7
It appears the ex-Breitbart geniuses running this pro-trump superpac decided it was a good idea to put Roy Moore on camera with a 12 year old girl. https://t.co/IxQOYXdgvs
Roy Moore just sat down for an interview with a 12-year-old girl. He must really, really think he has this won. https://t.co/HcDEfrOhi0

@NYMag I just threw up in my mouth
@aldotcom Who, in what alternate universe, thought this was a good idea?
@kylegriffin1 Jeffery Dahmer was interviewed by Stone Phillips and Jeffery didn’t eat him… wow, Dahmer was innocent!
Multiple women have stepped forward to accuse Moore of sexual misconduct, many of whom claim he approached them while they were in their teens. The youngest accuser, Leigh Corfman, told The Washington Post that she was 14 when the politician allegedly initiated a sexual encounter. Corfman alleged that Moore asked for her phone number and later picked her up in his car, drove her to his house, and began touching her.
Again, Moore has denied the accusations against him . “These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and The Washington Post on this campaign,” Moore wrote in a statement to the Post .
Despite the allegations, the Senate hopeful recently received backing from President Trump, who waved away the sexual misconduct allegations. «Get out and vote for Roy Moore,” Trump said during a Florida rally on Dec. 8. “We need somebody in that Senate seat who will vote for our Make America Great Again agenda.»
With a day to go before the election, the race between Moore and his Democratic opponent, Doug Jones, is razor thin. According to a Dec. 11 Fox News poll, Jones has a 10 point lead on Moore. The poll shows him supported by 90 percent of Democrats, 50 percent of Independents, and 11 percent of Republicans.
In the last hours of the election, Jones has pulled in some big-name politicans to stump for him. Both Barack Obama and Joe Biden reportedly recorded robocalls for the Senate hopeful, urging Alabama residents to vote for the Democrat.
“This one’s serious,” Obama said in the call, according to CNN. «You can’t sit it out.» The former president didn’t mention Moore, but sung the Democratic candidate’s praises, saying,
Biden also took to Twitter to fight for Jones, writing,
Looks like both Jones and Moore are bringing out the big guns for this election. Though, maybe, just maybe, Moore should stick to aligning with adult Republicans.
