StrangeSox Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Woman shares new evidence of relationship with Roy Moore when she was 17 Delray Beach, Fla. — Debbie Wesson Gibson was in her attic hauling out boxes of Christmas decorations last week when she noticed a storage bin she said she had forgotten about. Inside was a scrapbook from her senior year of high school, and taped to a page titled “Those Who Inspire” was a graduation card. “Happy graduation Debbie,” it read in slanted cursive handwriting. “I wanted to give you this card myself. I know that you’ll be a success in anything you do. Roy.” The inscription, Gibson said, was written by Roy Moore, the Alabama Republican nominee for U.S. Senate who in recent days has repeatedly denied the accounts of five women who told The Washington Post that he pursued them when they were teenagers and he was an assistant district attorney in his 30s. Since those allegations were published last month, four more women have come forward to allege that Moore made unwanted sexual advances. The accounts in The Post included those of Leigh Corfman, who said she was 14 when Moore touched her sexually, and Gibson, who said that she publicly dated Moore when she was 17 and he was 34, a relationship she said she “wore like a badge of honor” until she began reevaluating it in light of the accounts of other women, and now, Moore’s own denials.

caulfield12 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 One week to go, any predictions on Jones vs. Roy Moore? It's still hard to imagine a Republican losing that seat, and the VA/NJ election results were pretty overwhelming, but all bets are off in the Deep South.

Balta1701 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hours after President Donald Trump re-affirmed his support for embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, the Republican National Committee has resumed its support and financial assistance to the Alabama Republican. An RNC official confirmed the committee will resume its financial support to the Alabama Republican Party’s effort to elect Moore to the U.S. Senate, despite the allegations of sexual misconduct against him. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the internal deliberations. The reversal was first reported by Breitbart News.

caulfield12 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) The funny part was Trump pretending that having a rally in Pensacola, because it's technically in another state...doesn't constitute campaigning for Moore. In fact, that particular city is closer to Montgomery than Tallahassee, and comprises something like 10-15% of the total AL media market (South AL). Lara Trump -- Eric's wife -- even recorded a robocall that is making its way around Alabama. The President's daughter-in-law invites Alabamians to attend Trump's campaign rally in Pensacola, Florida. Lara does not mention her father-in-law's endorsement of Moore, but, make no mistake, Trump's rally has everything to do with the Alabama Senate race. Pensacola is 15 miles from the Alabama border and even Alabama's GOP Chairman Terry Lanthan has urged Alabamians to attend the rally. It's rather deflating that Laraa, who headed "Women for Trump" during the 2016 campaign, recorded that robocall. She has long insisted her father-in-law respects women. "This is a man who has always championed women," she told CNN. "I know that there is another narrative that people suggest out there," she said, adding that his support for women is why she decided "to come out to speak on behalf of this man." http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/04/opinions/iva...ello/index.html Edited December 5, 2017 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just "well we don't think he has molested a child in a while, so it should be fine". Every one in Government for the Democratic Party should be openly hostile towards Moore. They should refuse to talk or work in committee with him. They should walk out of every room that he speaks in. They should openly refer to him as child molester and they should remind the public every day that the GOP openly supporters and backs a child molester.

StrangeSox Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Moore is now changing his defense, claiming that he doesn't even know any of his five accusers despite two of them having written evidence from Moore himself and the other alleging a years-long family relationship. Moore has also openly admitted to first noticing his wife when he was attending her dance recital when she was 15 and he was in his 30's. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/roy-moor...article/2642549 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
