Discussion: Moore's Communications Director Resigns, Weeks Before Election

The exception is President Donald Trump, who has four decades’ worth of sexual misconduct allegations to his own name, and who made it clear on Tuesday that he stands by his endorsement of Moore: “We don’t need a liberal Democrat in that seat.”

Nice touch, Esme - right between the ribs… :wink:

The job was taking too much time away from attending her Girl Scout meetings?

Maybe he just didn’t want to hear that ‘hypocrite’ stuff at the Thanksgiving table.

Even pros can run out of lies to tell, spins to make, ideas to float, fucks to give.

Probably found out there were some Joe Bartonish pictures of Moore about to hit the Twitter machine. I’d run, too.

Except for PP, Kellyanne, and Sarah Sanders. But I’d hardly call them pros.

I would, just not of the profession you were referring to…

The last part is quite poetic and probably captures the Communications Directors sentiments perfectly.

The previous paragraph’s “one notable exception” made me snort. Then this was the coup de grace.

Entries for the “Naked Southern Baptist Republican Men” Charity Calendar–the kind the brits are always making? Those rural farmers and fisherman are forever going bare-assed for calendars.

Now the “Nude Male Commenters of TPM Calendar” would rake it in, for sure. Imagine what people would pay to see Eustace without his monocle. @theghostofeustacetilley

Close allies of John Rogers confidentially told TPM his resignation from the Moore campaign was due to the fact Roy Moore hit on his 12 and 15 year old daughters. “Roy couldn’t keep his hands off the girls, so I had to quit”, Mr. Rogers said.

So look at that statement again. He served for “the last several weeks”, which means that someone else was communications director before then and quit or was fired. Which would have been about the time that the WaPo would have been finishing up its first big story on Moore’s molestation of young women. So who was the communications director before Rogers and what did they know? Or wasn’t there a communications director before the scandal broke?

(Or maybe this is the “only worked for us for a few weeks, didn’t really have anything to do with the campaign, just didn’t work out” kind of story that trump’s people tell about manafort and eric and flynn)

Armistead said that “campaigns make changes throughout the duration of the campaign, as do those working in the campaign.”

“John made the decision to leave the campaign last Friday — any representations to the contrary are false — and we wish him well,” Armistead said.

Any one making any representations to the contrary are part of the Clintons and the Librul Media…you know…those folks who made such a big deal about it when Bull Connor was keeping the peace…and about that march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge…

“If anyone asks about the gap in my resume, I’ll tell them I was volunteering for Joe Barton.”

@paulw Yup, definitely has the sense of a revolving door. Politics is filled with people happy to go over the top only to realize how wretched the carnage is.
