Republicans: The party of Russian loving, pedophiles.

While some Republicans at the national level spoke out against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore on Thursday in the wake of allegations that he initiated sexual contact with a 14-year-old when he was in his 30s, Republicans from his own state seemed to have a different view with one citing Jesus parents to defend Moores alleged behavior.
Take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus, Alabama state auditor Jim Ziegler told the Washington Examiner on Thursday.
Four women have told the Washington Post that Moore pursued relationships with them when they were teenagers and he was an adult. The women were between the ages of 14 and 18, while Moore was in his 30s at the time, according to the Post.
Leigh Corfman, the woman who was 14 when she says Moore approached her, told the Post that Moore touched her over her bra and underwear and guided her hand to his underwear. The other three women did not have sexual contact that went beyond kissing.

Yes, but Joseph never "knew" Mary before she was impregnated (ostensibly by a God). . .

I'm trying to recall where in the New Testament it gives Mary's actual age.

Are they claiming Roy Moore is a deity?
Or just that any self-proclaimed "God" can diddle all the little girls he wants in Alabama?

But at least Joseph married a pregnant woman and raised her son as his own.
