MSNBC host confronts pro-Trump pastor over Roy Moore in heated exchange

MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle and pro-Trump Pastor Mark Burns got into a heated exchange about the accusations against GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore after Burns implied that Ruhle could be accused of sexual harassment.

The exchange occurred after the MSNBC host asked Burns how many women would have to accuse Moore for Burns to believe them.

“Today it’s Judge Moore, tomorrow it could be you,” Burns responded.

{mosads}“Men or women are being accused of sexual harassment,” he continued, but Ruhle cut him off to defend herself.

“Sir, it can’t be me tomorrow, because when I was in my 30s, I didn’t get banned from a mall,” she said. “I wasn’t calling girls in high school out of trigonometry class and I wasn’t dating girls under the age of 18, so no, sir, it is not possible for it to ever be me.”

Pastor Mark Burns: Today it’s Judge Moore. Tomorrow it could be you.

Several women have accused Moore, who is running to serve out the remainder of Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s term, of sexual misconduct, including assault, when they were teenagers and Moore was in his 30s.

One woman said that Moore called her high school seeking a date with her. It was also reported that Moore was banned from an Alabama mall.
