This is fascinating because of who Luntz is interviewing – pretty conventional Republicans. Wonder what that is about?
Nine women came forward with sexual misconduct accusations against Roy Moore. These Alabama voters think they were paid to lie. @FrankLuntz spoke to them on VICE News Tonight.

I don’t find it fascinating at all. It sickens the heart to hear such outrageous bullshit. These expressions of views appear to stray far from Jesus’ teachings.
They’re also ginning up each other because there’s literally no dissenting voice. Strike that: there’s the city slicker from out of state who’s asking them confrontational questions. Luntz backs them into a corner a couple of times, and they do what people do when they’re defending their tribal views.
I’ll say this, though: the tweet oversells the horror. Only four of the eleven participants raise their hands when Luntz asks them if the women were paid to lie. Even peer pressure isn’t enough for most of them to overcome their sense of shame and cognitive dissonance.
