Another woman has come forward to say that Alabama Republican Roy Moore sexually pursued and assaulted her when she was a teenager. At a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred, Beverly Young Nelson described how Moore moved from flirting with her, to signing her yearbook in creepy fashion, to assaulting her when she was a teenager waitressing at a Gadsden, Alabama, restaurant where Moore was a regular.
Nelson read a statement describing how, one cold night when her boyfriend was late to pick her up from work, Moore offered her a ride, then parked between a dumpster and a building and “reached over and began groping me and putting his hands on my breasts.” When she tried to get out of the car, Moore locked the door, grabbed her by the neck, and tried to force her head down onto his crotch. When Nelson continued to struggle, Moore finally opened the door and, she says, she’s not sure if she fell out of the car or he pushed her out. He drove away leaving her on the ground, and Nelson quit her job at the restaurant the next day, covering the bruises on her neck with makeup.Paging Sean Hannity. Paging Breitbart.
Let's see whose moral compasses are corrupted enough to let this pass.
BONUS: Republican strategist Rick Wilson -
In a just and sane world, Roy Moore would have already been disqualified, but in the era of Bannonite Republicanism, the gravity, credibility, and seriousness of the accusations against Moore aren’t disqualifiers; they’re selling points to a faction of the GOP intent on showing the world just how low they can sink as a party and as humans.BONUS II: It appears that the "good" citizens of Gadsden, AL knew of Moore's reputation: there are reports that he was banned from their local mall after his frequent sexual advances on teen girls.
It certainly appears that the Trump/ Bannon/Republican swamp is bottomless.
