These allegations arent true, and that should also be taken into account. >> well, here to discuss, jack kingston, a former senior adviser to the trump campaign. political commentators nina turner and joseph pinian. hello, jack. jack, how can the white house still insist the president is troubled and concerned about the allegations against roy moore when he is tweeting his support, rallying 15 miles away from the alabama border. and the president has left zero doubt on where he stands here, no? ...
