Yes I care. Regardless of his political position, and in spite of his career as an entertainer, neither of those things excuse his behavior. We hold leaders like him up as role models for our kids, and it has not been easy, trying to explain to intelligent, thoughtful, middle and high school students who hold their faith closely why character matters sometimes, but if the guy agrees with your political position, it is OK to ignore his character. What kids are learning from the evangelical support of Trump, and now of Moore, is Machiavellian, and diametrically antithetical to a Biblical, Christian worldview.
On a lighter note, you have those nasty, far left winger, godless, liberal Democrats pushing for the removal of a senator and a member of congress of their own party based on their moral behavior, regardless of the political cost, and you have the self-righteous, sneering, ultra right wing conservative Republicans supporting a president with 12 open and provable accusations of sexual assault, and a whole litany of self-described immorality, and pushing for the election of a child molester to the senate. If actions really do speak louder than words, then there's been a major paradigm shift in the political world regarding social issues and character requirements. This isn't getting lost on people, either.
