Courtesy of The Hill:Breitbart senior editor defends Roy Moore by citing Ringo Starr's hit cover of the song "You're Sixteen You're Beautiful (And You're Mine)." (via CNN) https://t.co/dCEx3eu8sM— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) November 27, 2017
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo on Monday clashed with a Breitbart editor who used a Ringo Starr song to defend Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore’s alleged sexual misconduct toward teenaged women.
“You know, in 1973, Ringo Starr hit No. 1 on the billboard charts with the song ‘You’re Sixteen, You’re Beautiful and You’re Mine,’” Breitbart editor Joel Pollack said during an appearance on CNN’s “New Day.”
“And it was a remake of an earlier song. He was 30-something at the time, singing about a 16-year-old. You want to take away Ringo Starr’s achievement?”
“You can’t be serious,” Cuomo said in response. “You think that Ringo Starr’s song is supposed to be a nod towards allowing 30-year-old men to prey on teenagers?” Cuomo asked Pollack.
“You don’t believe that, Joel. You’re a parent. You don’t believe that.”
So that's a thing that actually happened.
Based on that I have to assume they also took this Judy Collins song literally.
