Two Republican senators say rape allegation against Trump should be investigated while many in GOP stay mum

By Ted Barrett and Kristin Wilson, CNN

Updated 10:38 PM ET, Tue June 25, 2019

CNN)Two Republican senators said Tuesday the rape allegation made against President Donald Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll should be explored to determine the veracity of the allegation against the President -- even as many Senate Republicans sidestepped questions over the matter and defended Trump.

Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa said both Trump and Carroll should be questioned about the alleged assault.

"I think anybody that makes an accusation like that, they should come forward," Ernst said when asked if Carroll should be believed. "But obviously there has to be some additional information. They need to interview her. They need to visit with him."


Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah said there needs to be an "evaluation" but that he didn't know what entity should conduct it, "whether it's Congress or whether it's another setting, I'm not sure."

Disgusting. Another investigation into a fantasy where the supposed "victim" can't recall when it happened.

Exactly.  The Mueller investigation didn't bring Trump down, so the left has to pull out yet another accusation out of their 'hats' (yes, I'm being kind).

Next it will be something to do with how he handled the hurricane in Puerto Rico,  they just go through the rotation.

Yes, I have to agree.  I saw her on CNN.  This is just in time for 2020 elections.  If there wasn't a police report or investigation at the time then its a non issue.  The time to bring charges against Trump was in the 80's if she thought he had raped her.  Not now.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Exactly correct.  No different than the accusations against Kavanaugh and Moore...the continuing saga of the DEM smear.  I am hoping that they've cried wolf so many times, that no one is going to buy into their accusations any more.

I'm writing this reply having read only the title and I don't know who "the two Republican senators" are yet.

But I'll take a wild, uneducated guess:
- one is from Maine
and
- the other is from Utah.

Was I close?
(will find out to my chagrin as soon as I post this)

Addendum:
Well, got one out of two...

The seriousness of the accusation demands that action be taken to investigate the crime.

They are playing this gambit one Moore time, just to see if it will work. Chickens, roost, and all that.

None of the 'pubbies are immune, and the Democommies see it as a resume enhancer....for them.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

At the rate this is going, seems some 'publicans are determined to turn coat so fast it looks like a magic show.
Always just enough of them to feed the lib lie machine.
