It's the day of the Alabama senate election and a video has just emerged showing Republican candidate Roy Moore sitting down with 12-year-old Millie March for a campaign interview.
Moore has been accused of initiating a sexual encounter and pursuing a relationship with a 14-year-old when he was 32. Nine other women accused the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court of sexual misconduct and he was reportedly banned from a shopping mall "because he repeatedly badgered teen-age girls."
Moore has denied the accusations against him.
In the light of these allegations, Moore has been refusing interviews with media until the election. He also refused to debate his Democratic Senate opponent Doug Jones.
But this campaign video from a pro-Trump super PAC, America First Project, shows he was available for an interview with Millie March, a 12-year-old who made the headlines in conservative media last year for ranting about Barack Obama at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
America First Project's Jennifer Lawrence, a former Breitbart reporter, says in the video: “After everything that’s happened in this Alabama senate race up until this point, we thought it was important to not only come here as Western Pac to support Judge Roy Moore, but also to bring Millie here, to show that there is a wide range of people who support Judge Roy Moore."
March asks Moore about the wall between U.S. and Mexico.
“I think the military can be used down with the border patrol and stop illegal aliens coming across the border,” Moore answered. "If we need to stop it permanently, we build the wall, and I think it would be not, it's an inexpensive way to do it."
Then she asks him about the "most important issues to the voters of Alabama", to which Moore replies: "religious liberty, health care and income tax." The last question is about the characteristics of a "really, really good senator."
"Following the Constitution," Moore replies.
