she brought up roy moore. ron blake also brought up judge moore, saying the other key example of a controversy testing the gop a senate seat was the 2017 race in alabama, but it concerned the candidates personal contact. it was reported that gop candidate roy moore pursued teenage girls decades earlier, when he was in his there these. his democratic opponent doug jones had not led in any of the polls at that point, and he was suddenly up eight points in one pole and in another up three. jones won, and that was in alabama. let's hear from paul in kentucky, does a political candidate's character factor into your vote? caller: at one time it would, but the press and the democrats have gone insane, both corrupt as hell. they will lie, cheat, do anything. failed to mention that warnock tried to run over his wife, tried to kill his wife. he made jokes about playing with a little girl when he was 30 years old and she was 12. he is a pedophile. host: so what changed in your mind, besides from the media coverage? caller

there was a time not that long ago when enough republican voters would turn against roy moore, but i would completely agree that roy moore would win in this election cycle with this political ethos. >> easily. before we go, juanita toliver, are democrats making enough of the vow by people like lindsey graham to take this this national abortion ban, real quick? >> absolutely not. there's always more that can be done. i know that the democrats and non-profit organizations are investing millions into it, but we need millions more to compete with the onslaught of ads we know that are coming from republicans to make sure abortion stays front and center. >> and you know what you can do? you can elect women. there are a lot of women running statewide. you may not to put all of these men in charge if they're saying that women don't matter. thank you all very much. >>> up next on the read out, democrats love to see their representatives fight back and right now they are fighting back hard on the republican fear tactics, and that is next. hard tactics, and that is next. mutua. they customize y

. >> this reminds me of the roy moore situation in 2018. not comparing the allegations at all, but when donald trump said he changed his mind and was going to support roy moore, it was because of tax cuts. i'm talking about the senate candidate in alabama. if it is just a binary choice, that we want control, then there is no floor for your candidate. if it's just we don't want the democrat, you'll accept anything from a republican, will you not? >> that's not the case. we're looking at this through the political lens that as a republican what policies do we want carried into the u.s. senate. raphael warnock is supportive of biden policies that have caused high inflation and high crime. >> that's not true. raphael warnock has supported more money for police. he's >> the problems facing georgians are high prices at the grocery store. >> just say it doesn't matter as long as we get a republican in there and we can take control of the senate and we can now focus on inflation and economy and all that, abortion doesn't matter. is that what the po

i think it has changed high think even five years ago roy moore were ten years ago, everybody says theyatter and susan does not suggest if you by my premise, donald trump was right shooting someone on fifth avenue and that a candidate could lie or cheat or rabobank as long as his side felt his election was of paramount importance? >> you prove that point in 2016 when he survived the tape that came out as i grabbed him by the you know what he survived that that was very serious everyone thought it was the end and they dropped him a lot of republicans including house speaker paul ryan pain he would not support him anymore but i think it depends on the race in the candidate and it depends on the situation, roy moore did not win in alabama, democrat one in that red state because that was sexual misconduct it depends on what their accused of and how serious allegations are and how good the evidence is, so far we have a check that walker signed any pay for something he's had problems with his kids, i don't think he's been accused of sexual misconduct but his former wife accused him of extreme

is this remind you of doug jones and roy moore? bit too euphemistic, generous, and given the sort of hypocrisy on display potentially in this latest herschel walker scandal -- but doug jones won that but alabama senate seat by the hair of his cheney chin. -- he barely won. it certainly has had an impact in that race, anyway. there is that story that roy moore would have been well positioned there. again, i think we are talking about impact here. if there is impact in the story, my guess is it would be minimal, a pointer to. but like i am saying, given that he is not brian kemp -- he's not seven points ahead of raphael warnock right now, he's running a point behind. one or two points, if you are herschel walker, is absolutely critical. >> literally every vote matters in the state of georgia. every vote matters period, but especially at that moment. in that state. steve kornacki, msnbc national political correspondent. it's great to see. up next, brand new justice ketanji brown jackson. supreme court justice. she schools up an alabam

sexual misconduct allegations. >> get out and vote for roy moore. >> but he lost in an upset in deepross the aisle, north carolina democrat cal cunningham saw his 2020 senate campaign go up in smoke after his steamy text messages leaked amid an extramarital affair. and when new york governor andrew cuomo tried to follow trump's defiant playbook amid allegations of his own -- >> i was elected by the people of the state of new york. i'm not going to resign. >> he ultimately stepped down. and stepped down. >> if i step aside -- >> one exception, virginia governor ralph northam who who in 2019 confirmed, then denied in appearing in a racist yearbook photo but managed to serve out his term. even after a bizarre press conference. >> my wife says inappropriate circumstances. >> top senate republicans are still campaigning for herschel walker, despite concerns over candidate quality, with mitch mcconnell saying, whether it's fatal or a big problem this year, we'll find out. and with polls showing a competitive race, control of the senate could all come down to whether, in this polarized envi

but for years, no british coach in charity worker roy moore has been teaching you tear how to play football. not only as a sport, but as a way out of poverty made just felt like gradually and really growing things from the grassroots up as well. we could make the most difference, not just with football, but with the education, the social, emotional development, the holistic mentoring that we bring here at that play. and being able to recall that level, the playing field. jasmine claire grew up in an impoverished area and just started playing football last year. but she speeded into the play at the football club. it's become one of the more competitive teams in the country. and she plans to use this experience to get the college scholarship. so then if those are weak off, it's one way of showing that i can be good both in sports and in my study sports. now jasmine is part of the national team that reached the final of this 3 child world cup in brazil in 2014. what wallace hardly an elective sport in the philippines. it's really only recently that it's becoming mainstream. it is the women who

if roy moore right now, i don't know he wouldn't have made it. where are we?point in time. as you know i tweeted out yesterday or the day before that people forget that roy moore a very credibly accused sexual assaulter of teenagers and a certifiable right-wing nut only lost that race by 1.5%, and while he was losing it got 90% of the republican vote under those circumstances in alabama. if herschel walker was to lose, he's going to get 90 or 92% of the gop vote in georgia in this time. he's going to get 80% of the white evangelical vote, and there's so many of parts of this story that expose so much of the hypocrisy of the gop today, the inability to put character first, the lack of integrity, all those things. but i don't think there's something more fundamental than, you know, as a person who sees himself as a devout christian to listen to herschel walker talk about redemption as he attacks a christian minister who's in the united states senate, and understand i'm a full believer in redemption -- a full believer in redemption, but the path to redemption sta

i would stack him up with roy moore and todd aiken. i don't think i've seen anybody as ill equipped emotional, intellectually to be a united states senator. yet, i notice how close the race is in georgia. you know arizona is going to be tight. pennsylvania is going to be tight. wisconsin is going to be tight. that should be a real warning sign for democrats. again, despite everything that's happened over the past six months, herschel walker being competitive in any state this year, bad news for democrats. good news for republicans. >> well, he's unusual in one respect. he's a challenger in a race where he's -- probably in georgia has 100% name i.d. he's incredibly famous. was a beloved football star in that state. there's not a lot of other challenges that have that good feeling prior to the campaign. one of the other things -- i agree with you that the closeness of the race is striking. the governor's race in georgia brian kemp has a high single digit lead over stacey abrams which may suggest, not the prospects of democrats across the

you know, certainly had an impact on that race, without that story that roy moore would have been wellned there. but again, i think we're talking about impact here, if there is impact from the story. my guess is it would be minimal, a point or two but i'm saying, he's not brian kemp. he's not running seven points ahead of warnock right now. he's running a point behind warnock. one or two points for walker is critical. >> literally, every vote matters in the state of georgia. every vote matters but particularly in that state, steve kornacki, national correspondent, my friend, good to see you. >> you, too. >>> up next tonight, brand-new justice, ketanji brown jackson, supreme court justice. she schools alabama solicitor general, as the court takes up the challenge that could gut the voting rights act. we will be right back. ♪ ♪ away suitcases come in many colors. so you can find your color. colors. choices. happiness. away. ♪ ♪ we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two have any idea? that they can sell their life insurance policy for cash? so they'r

roy moore, accused sexual predator of young girls, and the subject of much investigative journalism at the time about this time in his general election campaign, might be acceptable to today's gop. what do we do about that? >> during that race with doug jones and roy moore, we were doing independent stuff and we were able to split off republican women in particular from him just because of the disgusting, unacceptable nature of what he was and did. i don't know that that number is not out there still. it takes a lot more shock and awe now, because there are still plenty of republicans who are going to say, well, if it's not walker who is imperfect, i'm going to have pick the socialist cannibal whatever. they make up this catalog of imaginary demons in their head about what the democrats are. they use it justify a lot of their choices. look, herschel walker is right now -- fox news is running a full-time defense of herschel walker. i don't think it's helping. as you pointed out at the top of the show, these hits keep coming. this is not over yet. his continued denials will extend the st

it's closer to the roy moore experience than sort of the donald trump access hollywood experience if yeah, absolutely. republican in alabama lost to doug jones at the last minute, and herschel walker's son saying mid dad is a liar -- >> look, i think herschel walker's a talented guy, he's obviously somebody who, you know, was an epic sports hero for the people of georgia and fans across the country, but i also think he's someone who was an outsider who necessary never won or run statewide before, and that really turns out to be historically a defect. so it's a real coin flip, i think, at this point when it comes to the georgia seat. kennedy: well, we'll see what happens in the next couple weeks. some polls have them a point apart, some have walker up by a point. we will see. arizona, blake masters, you know, again, one of those candidates that was trump-endorsed, and a lot of people wrote him off because he was so far behind mark kelly. how has he come within three percentage points? >> well, mark kelly is, unlike kyrsten sinema the other senator from arizona, someone who's really be

. >> yeah, i've seen the movie before with roy moore, that was another one. but again, this is where the republican party is right now. they've created this radically steel universe where you can't trust anyone that says anything negative about the guy you like. so they can throw their support behind a guy who is pro-life who's been accused now pressuring two women to have an abortion and i don't think it keeps anyone up at night. but if you keep the rest of us overnight. us overnight. and it could strike at any time. think you're not at risk? wake up. because shingles could wake up in you. if you're over 50, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about shingles prevention. zero-commission trades for online u.s. stocks and etfs. and a commitment to get you the best price on every trade, if you're over 50, talk to your doctor which saved investors over $1.5 billion last year. that's decision tech. only from fidelity. meet three sisters. the drummer, the dribbler, and the day-dreamer... the dribbler's getting hands-on practice with her chase first banking debit card

. >> like, we were talking about roy moore. it did not create support when these really disturbing revelations came out about him, but he didn't win in the end, even in alabama, which is a much redder state than georgia is now. the question really isn't whether this wipes the slate. it's whether it is just enough of a thumb on the scale in a race that is essentially, you know, very close to begin with. >> because it is very close, it will be one on the margins. scott, you're right. i think that republicans will absolutely come to his aid, they will not abandon him. the rnsc has already said that. i think he is actually making that coalition stronger because he can try to say they're trying to smear me. but we have not talked about the underlying, what i believe is not being well-counted, the massive mobilization of women who are already pissed off about abortion, and the economy and those issues will continue to be front and center. but when you telling more than 50% of the electorate that they don't have rights today that they

. >> yeah, i've seen the movie before with roy moore, that was another one.where the republican party is right now. they've created this radically before dexcom g6, my diabetes was out of control. i was tired. not having the energy to do the things that i wanted to do. before dexcom g6, i was frustrated. all of that finger-pricking and all of that pain, my a1c was still stuck. there is a better way to manage diabetes. the dexcom g6 continuous glucose monitoring system eliminates painful fingersticks, helps lower a1c, and it's covered by medicare. before dexcom g6, i couldn't enjoy a single meal. i was always trying to out-guess my glucose and it was awful. (female announcer) dexcom g6 is a small wearable that sends your glucose numbers to your phone or dexcom receiver without painful fingersticks. the arrow shows the direction your glucose is heading: up, down, or steady, so you can make better decisions about food, insulin, and activity in the moment. it can even alert you before you go too low or when you're high. oh, the fun is absolutely back. after dexco

look back at the special election in alabama involving roy moore where you saw a host of republicans just can't do this. they leave that name off their ticket, or they just stay home, and so i think that this could depress some votes. i don't know if it's going to activate a ton of democratic voters or get a bunch of people to switch to raphael warnock, but will cause a bunch to say, hey, this is a person who said they opposed abortion in many and almost every circumstance, but when it came to it, he demanded allegedly a woman having an abortion who already had a child with him who he allegedly basically ignored his entire life and keep saying, this is a conversation about abortion on demand, well, herschel walker demanded the woman have an abortion twice. and i think that for a lot of voters, particularly pro-life voters, they're stuck between a rock and a hard place and i think they might decide, okay, i'm going to vote for brian kemp and then i'm going to not vote in this particular race. >> and, mary, you have seen, as terry alluded to, national republicans quickly come to hersch

a basketball court, must massage and thought, but for years now, british coach in charity worker roy moore has been teaching you tear how to play football. not only as a sport, but as a way out of poverty made just felt like gradually and really growing things in the grassy top is where we could make the most difference, not just with football, but with the education, the social, emotional development, the holistic mentoring that we bring here at that play and being able to, as we call it level the playing field. jasmine claire grew up in an impoverished area and just started playing football last year. but she speed it into the play at the football club. it's become, wanted more competitive teams in the country and she plans to use this experience to get the college scholarship. so then if those are weak off, it's one way of showing that i can be good both in sports and in my study. now jasmine is part of the national team that reached the final of this 3 child world cup in brazil in 2014. what ball is oddly an elitist sport in the philippines? it's really only recently that it's becoming

i think roy moore may have been the last republican scandal-plagued candidate and maybe alleged pedophiliathe last thing. we'll see in the future if those allegations are ever made, if that disqualifies anyone. herschel walker was on sean hannity last night, probably raised a boatload of money from that appearance. we're in a post-scandal, a post moral gravity moment for one of the two political parties. >> i was having a conversation with someone about this earlier, the survivability of scandals post donald trump has just completely changed in the political arena. you know that as well as i do. people have been likening this to the "access hollywood" moment with donald trump. of course, we all know how that ended in 2016. i think for many people, they look across the country and see these republican nominees, as you pointed out, with people like j.d. vance in ohio, herschel walker. we look to arizona with blake masters, new hampshire as well. these candidates who are just so far out of the norm and what the president would consider ultra maga, that they're really faced with a choice of wh

one thing for a right-wing conservative to say definitely vote for roy moore even if going after youngls, but now we're seeing where this all leads. a certain point you accept the big lie you have to accept all the lies. if you decide donald trump is fit to the president of the united states you can't argue anyone else should be held to an ethical standard. that's what's happened here. it is more important to control the senate than any of these other principles, and i think that that is, has been where the republican party has been going for some time, and we're seeing it, know, full fruit. so coming to full fruition. so olsen is probably right most republican voters are going to go along with this, but not all of them. i guess the question is, is there a residual sense of, no, i'm sorry. politics is not completely immoral. politics is not completely post-ethical. we actually do stand for something, and in a state as evenly divided as georgia, that might be decisive. certainly do not look for any leadership from the republican party, and by the way, you're talking about republicans no

there's lots of examples about roy racism and roberta moore's comment on richard minutes blog for example. she refers to broker clad dragons and filthy bearded vermin. arabs have been eating campbell for years. the cult of islam has the power to turn normal human beings into beasts. huffman and melody distance themselves from the e. d l in 2011. but they were play a key role in labors anti semitism crisis. ah, the majority of cubans, critics do not embrace all right, politics, but they blame corbin for allowing anti semitism to flourish. so i know when you said that he was oh, but corbin has a problem. one that is ignored in the media coverage as leader of the opposition colbin has his own office, often known as latte. it's the parties general secretary in mcnichol who was in charge of party headquarters and is the dispute unit at party headquarters that handles anti semitism complaints. co been inherited the party bureaucracy from previous less radical party leaders. for the 1st 2 and a half years the beastly ship, jeremy colbert was obliged to work with a general secretary, who was host
