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.
Breitbart has a relatively neutral report up about this, but the reader comments (the ones I looked at -- there are already over 10,000) seem unanimous in refusing to believe it. One commenter says:
ReplyDeleteThey are doing this to dam up the information flow of how deep this rabbit hole goes. Satanic ritual abuse/pedophilia is the real secret... and they want it to remain that way. The very people spinning this crap against Moore are the true perpetrators.
I assume he's referring to the Pizzagate nonsense. At the moment that comment has 205 upvotes and only one person has questioned it. These people are nuts.
They inhabit a horrific fantasyland full of strawmen, cabals, and irrational connect- the- dot conspiracies. I would not be surprised also if they're not being goaded along, if not supplemented, by those ever- helpful Russian trolls. But, discredit where due, we certainly have a fully functioning wingnut world out there that's in a fever pitch right now over this. More power to you, Infidel; I couldn't stand more than a few seconds on any of those fetid sites.
