[ cheers and applause ] >> whoa. so get out and vote for roy moore. do it. do it. >> reporter: and just yesterday. we learn pd moore's campaign is set to run a robocall voiced by the president. his firmest step yet into the race. if this all sounds familiar, it's because it spp last year's "access hollywood" tape that revealing trump bragging about groping women threatened to derail the trump campaign weeks before the election. but after an initial outcry, the gop kept trump as its nominee. and he marched on to that historic election day upset. so will roy moore follow th

it is a terrible choice at the voters in alabama have to make between a liberal democrat and someone who is accused, credibly accused, of these atrocious acts. i wish they had an alternative that means they could get their judge picked that they could get somebody who was pro-life, which i know is hugely important to them. i feel sorry for them. i hope i never have to face something like that. i do think they should decide. there's also a reason that the senate can vote to expel someone that they do not think should be there. >> kennedy: to the point about expelling, this would be unprecedented to expel a duly elected senator when the voter had full knowledge of the allegations made against them. there's also a dangerous precedent. there's been times in history were a party has control of two-thirds majority in the senate. this was used in the future as a political tool, these are important things to be talked about. >> harris: breaking news to break into this conversation. u.n.'s is -- to trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. as well as move our u.s. embassy f

we don't want to have a liberal democrat in alabama.rtainly don't want to have a liberal democrat that's controlled by nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. >> and white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders defended trump's bagging of moore. sanders told reporters yesterday that while the president finds the allegations against moore troubling he's okay just not going to back doug jones. >> is it the white house's position here formally here that it's worst to have a democrat in that senate seat than somebody who is accused of sexually abusing a teen girl? >> look, as i said, we find the allegations to be troubling. >> why did the president endorse? >> look. i think those are different things in terms we aren't going to be the ones to determine that process. that's for the people of alabama to determine what those things come down on. he does want people that support his agenda. he's not going to obviously support a democrat. >> trump's endorsement has divided republicans including outspoken republican senator jeff flake. who after si

trump goes on, he's been amazing and he's a liberal democrat. i don't know him. he's a liberal democrat. i watched him the other day. he said there's no collusion. number two, collusion's not a crime. i want to signal out for the audience and get your analysis on the four words that i see are false. he said i don't know him. "the washington post" reporting just this month that the two men have spoken recently at mar-a-lago. your view of why it's important to the strategy to invoke alan him as an independent person and then falsely claim and easily rebuttal false claim that he doesn't know him? >> well, he feels the need to get some kind of legitimacy for the argument that there's been no collusion and even if there was it wouldn't necessarily be against the law. now, alan is not the most reliable person to make that kind of an analysis these days. he's been making the living going on fox news to be a commentator and good to donald trump and one sided in the analysis and critiqued constantly by outside legal experts saying, actually, it really depends. if there wa
