Why These Alabama Voters Are Sticking By Roy Moore (HBO)

Update May 19 2021: VICE News produced a series of seven panels moderated by Frank Luntz from December 2017 to January 2019. Recently, it was reported that Luntz was on Ted Cruz’s reelection campaign payroll in 2018. VICE News was unaware of this affiliation, and Luntz did not disclose this information at the time of these productions.
These are the views of twelve conservative voters who gathered inside a Birmingham coffee house Thursday for a candid discussion about the senate race in their state. Voters dismissed many of the allegations against Moore - while saying behavior that was acceptable in Alabama decades ago shouldn’t be measured by modern standards.
“Forty years ago in Alabama, there's a lotta mamas and daddies that would be thrilled that their 14 year-old was getting hit on by a district attorney,” one voter said. “There was still clothes on,” another voter said of the first allegations against Moore. “As soon as the girl said she wasn't comfortable, he took her home.”
The panel was compiled and moderated by Frank Luntz, the Republican pollster well known for arranging focus groups with GOP voters.
This segment originally aired Dec. 8, 2017, on VICE News Tonight on HBO.

Wrong. Marriage is possible with 16 with parental and judicial consent in many states. I dont agree with it, but taking the man out of context is just not right. He wasnt talking about himself in the present tense and how he sees it. He was talking about how people were seeing it back then. So implying that this voters are "sick" is just a lie because he was talking about their grandparents.

Serious question -- what is with all these quasi-religous excuses they're vomiting up? Catholic here -- I always thought the idea of repenting and forgiveness meant you actually had to REPENT and ASK for forgiveness? And then changing your behaviour would be nice too.

[@unorthodoxromance254]

zammmerjammer Evangelicals don’t believe in formal sacramental repentance - it’s very much a “me and Jesus” matter. This lack of an incentive to confess sins, combined with rugged individualism, may perhaps be why American Evangelicals can do really, really stupid things and still not be questioned. Then again, American Evangelicalism has become a right-wing political super PAC, not a genuine body of Christ.

I drove through Alabama once, there's a monument, (plaque) every hundred yards, commemorating some confederate soldier. They can't afford bus lines for the people of Alabama, but they can afford all these useless monuments. That pretty much sums up Alabama.

[@laurae614]

chris casey Amen! Could they go ahead and secede from the rest of the country. That's what they wanted and at this point, I'm more than okay with that.

[@alh9569]

Alabama probably did not foot the bill for most of those statues. The daughters of the confederacy probably paid for most, of not all, of them.

[@alh9569]

😉

[@lcoop3505]

I live here but I rarely see confederate statues. Idk maybe it’s because I’m in a bigger city like Birmingham.

[@magiccitymelkite6161]

Those monuments were built as memorials by the children and grandchildren of Confederate Civil War veterans 130 years ago which was before buses had been invented. I ride the bus all around town and to and from work every day in the city of Birmingham and have all my life. I also rode an interstate bus from Birmingham, AL to Chattanooga, TN once. Also, in Birmingham, we have almost no Confederate memorials because our city was founded after the war. We had one small one at a downtown park that commemorated Civil War veterans alongside WWI and WWII veterans but it was removed in recent years. Most of our historical monuments in the city commemorate the Civil Rights movement.

the bigger blonde lady had a good point when asked about blacks supporting doug jones by a 97% clip. She said that it tells her that roy moore didn't do a good job appealing to them. I don't know how intellectual she is... but she didn't blame democrats or blacks... she blamed her own party and candidates failing to appeal to a different demographic. She was unfortunately the only positive thing in this whole thing. Oh, and the guy that never speaks was also a bright spot, i think he went into the discussion thinking he'll vote for roy.... and after hearing these crazy fucks speak i think he realized he doesn't want to be associated with these fucks. You can see his face @2:48 on the right side of the screen with a look of disbelief when the guy says 'it'd be an honor for a DA to molest your 14 year old daughter 40 years ago.'

It seems likely that if she pursued her thought a little further, she'd find a way to blame black voters for not allowing themselves to fall for Moore's bullshit.

[@anako1976]

I don't think I'll be able to sleep after this. Omg.

[@LiamMack33]

Terrifying. Glad to be in Canada.

[@beccalowry6437]

Liam McNamara please help me get up there. I feel like I’m trapped in a very real dictatorship.

[@Boobalopbop]

If it was normal for 14 year olds to be hit on by grown men back then, why was he banned by the mall. These people are sick. And lady, kist because you were raped at 16 and still haven’t come to terms with the fact that you were in fact raped by a grown man, doesn’t make it OK. I’m from NYC, and I’ve been hit on by grown men since I was 13. And the idea turns my stomach. Those men were criminals preying on naive little girls.

[@Dman098098]

She made a note of the date, the signature is all Roy.

[@Boobalopbop]

She added the date. Thats all... If it was a total fabrication, why would she say she added anything. The man said himself when describing how he met his wife, in his book... That the first time he saw her was at her dance recital at 14 years old. What GROWN MAN with no children, goes to 14 year old girl's dance recitals??? True enough, none of these women have rock solid, stain on the dress proof of anything he did, but the evidence adds up. His own words "I only dated permission from their mothers". If you're in your 30s and dating adult women, why would you need to ask their mom's permission. The icing on the cake is what he said yesterday about when he thinks America was great... When we had slavery. This man is a creep on every possible level, and its horrifying that this election is even close.

[@canonsucks]

Old guy in the front definitely hit on 14 year olds.

[@MisterJones314]

😂😂😂😂 I’d love to see a post interview 😂😂😂😂

[@danteferrise6742]

LMFAO “HE HAS MORE INTEGRITY THAN ANYONE” WOW THATS A BOLD STATEMENT.

[@sarahhuff4354]

This is easily one of the most frustrating and disturbing videos I have seen in a while.

[@sarahhuff4354]

castroy64 wait I’m sorry what does this even mean

[@sarahhuff4354]

castroy64 nothing...???? No explanation here? Nice.

[@mrbrainbob5320]

Wow I always thought people just exaggerated about people from Alabama but it's true, pretty sad.

[@TheRealCaptainFreedom]

SmokeBox And there is also a warm freshwater bacteria common to the South that knocks an average 11 IQ points of off country folk.

[@TheRealCaptainFreedom]

Franz Aussie The Democrats in Alabama are blacks who are voting for free stuff for themselves.

[@mrbrainbob5320]

Franz Aussie I guess you are right let me change it to "conservative in Alabama"

[@mmmmmvodka]

Abortion at 9 months? What the hell is she smoking?

[@KIAserg]

I love how the very last shot is the sign of BIRMINGHAM that killed me.😂😂

[@sleepy5017]

"If we don't stand for conservative policies, then we've lost anyway." Not everyone is a conservative. These people are like a dog on a bone, they think it's the only thing in the world. It's gross.

[@moranii1843]

C B lmao you can't say that when pretty much every African votes Democrat EVERYTIME (90%+) while whites and even alabmians usually are at leasst split around 60/40

[@jacknick7582]

C B it's a frame of mind that literally depends on ignorance, in order to fuel their fear of the unknown

[@Taintedwings4444]

I would’ve first ask them what are conservative policies. The host is way too easy on them.

[@lindseysummers5351]

C B The moderator should have asked, "Okay, so what exactly are these conservative values and policies we would have gotten from Roy Moore and contrast them with Doug Jones's agenda." I guarantee you would have gotten stunned silence.

[@shortbussurfer]

These people are ready to forgive an accused pedofile all because they are so dead set against abortion, but the cowardice comes in the fact that none of them admit it.

[@henryfondle725]

"Do they believe a baby should be aborted at 9 months?" true intelligence right here

[@Jefff72]

They often don't care if an adult get condemned to death for a crime he/she didn't commit. They don't care if parents can't afford food, cloths & education for their child. They don't care if a child dies because the parents couldn't afford medical help. They probably say, that was God's will.

[@gabrielgarciaruiz5698]

Jones won!

[@american11asshole]

Gabriel Garcia Ruiz Nope, proven rigged election!

[@gabrielgarciaruiz5698]

NeoTheOne lol okay

[@alleycatgillis1964]

Why do all these people look related??

[@Grandtrunk]

That's because they are . They all intermarried with family members

[@TheOgtdog]

Where were these people when Cosby was accused?

[@Madmongul]

...Cosby was running for Senate?! When?

[@davida4007]

"Innocent until proven guilty for judge Moore. But all his accusers were paid although we have no evidence whatsoever"

[@Madmongul]

Democrats play dirty, it's pretty widely known that they consistently hire people for this shit.

[@ainsgown1917]

I died twice watching this💀☠️💀☠️💀

[@buitragobb228]

Seeing so many brilliant people together at once was really breathtaking.

[@Twestliw]

😂

[@lcade2605]

Where is the decency with this Christians in Alabama state?shame on you.

[@manchuratt8900]

They never had any.

[@JubJubMedia]

As some from and living in Alabama...not everyone here is like these people. The older generation is largely like this, though. I have to get out of here.

[@EnuffisEnuff]

We hear you. Today the world outside Alabama is glad to find out at least half of you are good people.

[@jaguarhouse333]

"There's a lot of mamas and daddies that'd be thrilled that their fourteen year old was getting hit on by a district attorney" How can that be an actual thought that a person has

[@coldwar45]

Somebody should check and make sure that man hasn’t been to Thailand.

[@lilmercury1981]

If this was mental gymnastics competition and I were the judge I'd rate this a 10 out of 10. Some of these flips in logic is worthy of a gold medal!
