White House just endorsed Roy Moore, for all intents and purposes

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/11/20/the-white-house-just-effectively-endorsed-roy-moore/?utm_term=.488c1b6d4bd0

A top White House adviser to President Trump on Monday morning effectively endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore, a man who faces multiple accusations of sexual misconduct with teenage girls, including one involving a 14-year-old.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway didn't say, “Vote for Roy Moore,” but she might as well have. And her comments put a button on a lengthy series of comments and no-comments from the White House that can be read as nothing but a wink and a nod toward supporting Moore in the Alabama special election and doubting his accusers.

Asked on Fox News whether the White House was urging Alabamians to support the Republican, Conway's answer was decidedly not “no.”
