Breitbart editor cites Ringo Starr's "You're Sixteen..." to defend Roy Moore

In discussing allegations on CNN that Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore assaulted a minor teenage girl Breitbart News senior editor-at-large Joel Pollak pointed out that Ringo Starr was "thirtysomething" when he covered Youre Sixteen, Youre Beautiful, and Youre Mine.

From Washington Examiner:

You know, in 1973, Ringo Starr hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts with the song Youre Sixteen, Youre Beautiful and Youre Mine, Pollak said on CNN. 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 Starrs achievement?

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo frowned and replied, You cant be serious.

You think that Ringo Starrs song is supposed to be a nod towards allowing 30-year-old men to prey on teenagers?" Cuomo continued. "You dont believe that, Joel. Youre a parent. You dont believe that."

Pollak shot back at Cuomo, saying, Youre also a parent, and you know that when you raise sons, the risk that our sons face today is that theyre going to be exposed to accusations that may or may not be true.
