When he saw her, he knew she was something special, and that she would play a special role in his life.<\/p>\n

Which sounds kind of romantic, until you realize it’s:<\/p>\n

1. Roy Moore, accused of pursuing and sexually assaulting under-age teens when he was in his 30s.<\/p>\n

2. Roy Moore speaking about the woman who would become his wife a decade later … about when he saw her at a dance recital … when he was around 30, and she was 15-16 years old.<\/p>\n

“I knew Kayla was going to be a special person in my life,” Moore wrote about when he first saw her when she was 15 years old. He wrote he began dating her when she was 23, a year before they married, according to the memoir.<\/p>\n

“Anxious to meet her, I began with the line, ‘Haven’t we met somewhere before?’ ‘I don’t think so,’ she replied,” he said, recalling the moment they met at a church Christmas party.<\/p>\n

But he recalled first seeing her “many years ago” at a dance recital at a nearby college in Alabama. He wrote he never forgot her, even when he saw her again years later.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s … a bit less romantic.<\/p>\n

And one has to wonder what Roy Moore was doing at a teenage girls dance recital in the first place.<\/p>\n

Just to be clear, this isn’t one of the several women who claim Moore leched after them when they were teenager and he was in his 30s. This is Moore himself<\/i> talking about a 15-16 year old dancer catching his twice-her-age eye in a way he “never forgot” and that made him sure she was going to be be “a special person” in his life.<\/p>\n

And that’s the GOP Senatorial candidate that Donald Trump thinks should be believed in his denials about the allegations. Well, perhaps we should also believe Moore’s own words in this matter, too.<\/p>\n
