Two political figures tied to our highest chamber of Congress face charges of sexual harassment. One involves a senator who has apologized for his past actions and asked for an investigation, acknowledging the wrong he committed. The other involves a candidate professing his own innocence and invoking God as his ultimate defense.
We do not know if Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore did the things of which he is accused. But, like former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton, he had a reputation that preceded the allegations that made the news. The senatorial candidate apparently had been known for picking up young girls in his local mall when he was a district attorney in his 30s.
