Trump group sends 12-year-old girl to interview Roy Moore

Trump group sends 12-year-old girl to interview Roy Moore



December 11, 2017

A political group backing President Donald Trump has sent a 12-year-old girl to interview embattled Alabama Republican Senate contender Roy Moore.

The America First Project published a video Sunday that showed Millie March—who rose to fame at the age of 11 during the 2016 election due to her support for Donald Trump—interviewing Moore as part of his campaign for election in Alabama.


In the interview, Moore tells March he believes illegal immigration to the U.S. could be stopped “in a relatively short time” using America’s military before President Trump builds a wall on the border.

“I think the military can be used down with the border patrol and stop illegal aliens coming across the border,” he said during their conversation at Alabama GOP headquarters. “If we need to stop it permanently we build the wall, and I think it would be not an inexpensive way to do it.”

I mean WTF! This is so screwed up on so many levels! It's like rubbing his pedophilia in everyone's face. Who thought this was a good idea? What is wrong with her parents? Did nobody see how creepy and improper this would be?

not pubescent grade school kids. (That's why some people mention that he's not clinically a pedophile, just an adult serial molester of teenagers.)

So if they were trying to make *that kind* of point with this, it's a complete fail. (And I suspect that her parents or other adults were in the room with them.)

7. "rose to fame at age 11 for supporting Donald Trump"

Seriously?

That girl has zero life-experience, her brain has not even gone through the teenager-stage yet, AND WE CARE ABOUT HER POLITICAL LEANINGS???



About 1 month ago Fox News interviewed a 10yo Trump-fan.



I mean... WTF? Why do we care about what kids think about politics? What's next? Toddlers?
