I think we might be living in the upside down. A pro-Trump super PAC supporting Republican Alabama Senate candidate and accused pedophile Roy Moore sent a 12-year-old girl to interview him. And last night, Moore held a rally that included tales of a Vietnamese brothel visit and Moore's wife pushing back at anti-Semitism charges by saying "one of our attorneys is a Jew." This comes as Hanukkah kicks off tonight. Voters are already heading to the polls to choose between Moore and the Dem candidate Doug Jones. Polls close at 8P. This morning, Donald Trump continues to tweet support for Moore. And 45 tweeted an insult to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), saying she would visit him in his office and was willing to do anything for his political donation. The president also tweeted an attack on the NYT story, saying it’s fake news that he watches 4-8 hours of TV a day. “I seldom, if ever, watch CNN or MSNBC, both of which I consider Fake News." The president's tweet came two days after the NYT published its report, but less than an hour after both MSNBC and CNN covered it. We’re kicking off Tuesday with this...
