In a panel discussion of Alabama voters discussing GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, one man contended that their state was a "different world" when the former judge's accusers claimed he dated them when they were teens and he in his 30's.
"Forty years ago in Alabama, it was a different world," one man said in a documentary by Vice News Tonight, claiming his grandmother was married at 13 and had children and a job by age 15.
"If Roy Moore was guilty," he continued, "forty years ago in Alabama, there's a lot of mamas and daddies that'd be thrilled that their 14-year-old was getting hit on by a district attorney."
