More Moore - It's Now SIX Women And Counting! (UPDATED)


Drip, drip, whoosh:
A Gadsden woman says Roy Moore groped her while she was in his law office on legal business with her mother in 1991. Moore was married at that time. 
In the past week, Moore has been accused by five other women of a range of behaviors that include sexual misconduct with a woman when she was 14, and sexual assault of another when she was 16. This is the first public accusation of physical contact that happened after Moore was married. 
In recent days, Moore has publicly denied any wrongdoing, and has denied knowing some of the women. [snip]
According to Johnson, he asked questions about her young daughters, including what color eyes they had and if they were as pretty as she was. She said that made her feel uncomfortable, too. 
Once the papers were signed, she and her mother got up to leave. After her mother walked through the door first, she said, Moore came up behind her. 
It was at that point, she recalled, he grabbed her buttocks. 
Good for her and all the other victims who've come forward to tell what Roy "Teen Spirit" Moore did to them. That's what's called courage.

UPDATE: "But wait, there's more..."  But of course there is.

Another Woman Steps Forward To Accuse Moore Of Groping Her


Will this, finally, be enough?
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.

Report: Republican Senate Candidate Roy Moore Sexually Assaulted A Minor



The Washington Post has a blockbuster report this afternoon claiming bible- banging hypocrite and Alabama Republican Senatorial candidate Roy Moore sexually assaulted at least one minor nearly 40 years ago, then- 14- year- old Leigh Corfman:
Alone with Corfman, Moore chatted with her and asked for her phone number, she says. Days later, she says, he picked her up around the corner from her house in Gadsden, drove her about 30 minutes to his home in the woods, told her how pretty she was and kissed her. On a second visit, she says, he took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes. He touched her over her bra and underpants, she says, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear. 
Moore was in his 30's at the time. And, yes, we know we're talking about Alabama here, but he apparently had a proclivity for teenage girls:
Aside from Corfman, three other women interviewed by The Washington Post in recent weeks say Moore pursued them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s, episodes they say they found flattering at the time, but troubling as they got older. None of the women say that Moore forced them into any sort of relationship or sexual contact.
When you hear the denials coming from the s.o.b., keep this in mind:
This account is based on interviews with more than 30 people who said they knew Moore between 1977 and 1982, when he served as an assistant district attorney for Etowah County in northern Alabama, where he grew up.
This only adds to the portrait of Moore --a theocrat, homophobe and "Sharia law" crackpot -- as a seriously damaged person.
