No Excuses Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) I don't have a link yet, but Breitbart just preemptively ran a counter-piece to a Washington Post story that is about to be released soon. The Washington Post article will allege that Roy Moore, noted homophobe, running as the Republican candidate for Senate in Alabama, assaulted teenage girls as young as 14, when he was in his 30's. Roy Moore is on record, denying these allegations to Breitbart. This is going to be a huge ****storm. Republicans will have to make a choice: defend Roy Moore or force him to step down and likely replace him with Luther Strange. It's going to pit the McConnell faction that favors Strange, against the Bannon faction, which favors Roy Moore. I have not linked to the Breitbart piece but if the mods ask, I will provide the link. The Washington Post story hasn't come out yet. The WP article is out: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/woman-says-roy-moore-initiated-sexual-encounter-when-she-was-14-he-was-32/2017/11/09/1f495878-c293-11e7-afe9-4f60b5a6c4a0_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.969d8eb93561 Edited November 16, 2017 by No Excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Looking forward to seeing Republicans going on the record, to defend and elect a pedophile to the Senate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) One of the many depressing things about our current political situation is that the question of whether the GOP should dump him like a, well, like an accused pedophile, is controversial. Although I have to say that the GOP built this death trap, when they decided to ignore all of the other things that should have completely disqualified him. Now they have to choose between ignoring something else, or admitting that they were wrong. (And history says that they would rather do the former).

The NRSC dropped Todd Akin for an insensitive, and really really stupid statement in 2012. It will really say something about where the GOP stands today if they continue to support Moore. Which really won't be that surprising after they continued to support Trump. Supporting a pedophile on his way to the Senate will really be a new low for the GOP and how they view this country.

@DCGoldPants Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 The only thing that surprises me is that it wasn't with an underage male. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Read the article. Disgusting. Giving a 14 year old alcohol and feeling her up. I'm willing to bet he's gone further with other girls. I fully expect the base to really around him. No one will rescind their endorsements.

Burgold Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 It is possible that the allegations are not true, but let's be honest. It's really, really unlikely the Washington Post goes forward with something like this unless they are very certain of their sources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 "If these allegations are true, between Collins, McCain, and Murky, we're gonna get nothing done if we lose this seat, so he then needs to step aside." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 So apparently Roy Moore needed a 2 ton granite statue of the Ten Commandments in the Alabama Court House because he kept forgetting them. 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Well, I hope the people that spoke on record for this story are ready for a s!@tnado. When everything starts flying with this story, it's going to be hard to determine what's true and what's not true. I just hope we eventually get to the truth of the matter because lives will be ruined. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) These are the women girls he "dated" as an assistant district attorney in his 30s. - A 14 year old girl sitting with her mother in a local courthouse - A 14 year-old girl working as a Santa's helper at Gadsden Mall - A 17 year old girl in a high school civics class he spoke at - An 18 year old cheerleader he drank wine with. (The legal drinking age in Bama was 19.) Edited November 9, 2017 by Dan T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isifhan Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 If it's true these things typically are never an isolated incident. I'd imagine the flood gates will open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
