Ah, what really matters.

Charles Barkley: Roy Moore should have been disqualified 'way before this women stuff came up'

Former NBA star Charles Barkley weighed in on the Alabama Senate race Saturday, saying embattled Republican candidate Roy Moore should be disqualified from the race because of his association with former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.

"I mean Roy Moore is running with Steve Bannon as his right-hand man, who is a white separatist," Barkley said, referring to Bannon's support among the so-called alt-right movement. 

"I'm not even get into the women stuff, but how can you be a white separatist and represent all the constituents in your state? I mean everybody is going crazy over the sexual allegations. Roy Moore to me, when he brought in Steve Bannon, should have been disqualified."

Barkley, who made the remarks to reporters before the Alabama-Auburn football game, added that the backing from Bannon should have "disqualified Roy Moore way before this women stuff came up."

What do you suppose he imagines to be the process of disqualification?

Anyway, Bannon is a white separatist as Moore is a pederast.

Which is to say, not at all.

Bannon seems to be a white nationalist to the point of wanting to keep a significant white majority in the US population, in the foreseeable future, so far as immigration policy alone can manage that.

He and Breitbart have repeatedly denounced racism and racists, specifically alluding to various white racist organization in doing so.

And immigration policy alone can't do that, anyway, in the face of nonwhite Americans' superior fertility rates to whites.

But it could delay the sorpasso, to re-purpose an Italian word that will be familiar to geezers from the immediate post-Cold War period to refer to the point in time when nonwhites become the majority among Americans.

As for Moore, so far as we now know he has never displayed a sexual penchant for pre-pubescents, which is what pedophilia actually is.

The youngest of his accusers was already too old even for Humbert Humbert, too old to count as a nymphette, all of fourteen and well past the beginning of puberty when he did what he did.

And she seems to have been uncharacteristically young for him, given the other accusations and rumors about him that report a preference for older high-school girls above the age of consent, sixteen in Alabama when he was in his cruising years.
