Iowa Senator Joni Ernst, who has led efforts to combat sexual assault in the military, sat quietly next to President Donald Trump today as he endorsed a man accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
At a meeting in the White House were senators were discussing NAFTA trade policy with the President, Trump responded to questions about why he endorsed Roy Moore in the Alabama senate race.
I think hes going to do very well, Trump said of Moore. We dont want to have a liberal Democrat in Alabama, believe me. We want strong borders, we want stopping crime, we want to have the things that we represent, and we certainly dont want to have a liberal Democrat thats controlled by Nancy Pelosi and controlled by Chuck Schumer. We dont want to have that for Alabama.
Ernst is seated directly to Trumps right. She looks on silently as Trump addresses the reporters.
ABC News tweeted out a video of the exchange.

Iowa starting line said "Alleged" Child Molester in their headline. IMHO, there's nothing alleged about it.
