Roy Moore, the Republican nominee for a special US Senate election to replace Attorney General Sessions, has been accused of sexually molesting a 14 year old girl back in 1979. The woman, Leigh Corfman, came out publicly to the Washington Post and the paper found multiple friends of hers who verified her story. Corfman accused Moore of "[taking] off her shirt and pants and remov[ing] his clothes. He touched her over her bra and underpants, she says, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear." On top of that, three other women publicly came forward and accused Moore of unwanted sexual advances when they were teenagers. Moore is accused of approaching a 14-year-old Santa's Helper and asking to take her out on a date, taking a 17 year old high school student on a few dates with Moore where she claims he kissed her, and of dating and buying an 18 year old cheerleader alcohol so she could get drunk. In normal times this would be a dagger in the heart of any campaign, but these aren't normal times considering a minority of voters elected an accused serial sex predator as President of the United States. Multiple Senate Republicans are calling for Moore to step down if the allegations are true, but I have a strong feeling they are more concerned about losing an otherwise slam dunk Senate election than anything else.

Yes Jared; just look at how this guy was elected; no background check, just as with Trump and the "boys". No there is nothing wrong with this country. Get your six shooter, jump on the horse then you are suited to become senator or President. Thus this whole country has become the laughing stock of the world.

Yes, Moore cannot be replaced on the ballot. Absentee ballots have already been mailed out. So the choices are a write in campaign for an alternative candidate. Or go all in on Moore, get him elected with the promise he will resign immediately and then hold another new election after he resigns. A new election will most like ensure another Republican in the Senate.

As reported by Business Insider and other media sources, Alabama State Auditor Jim Zeigler called the claims in The Post report "much ado about nothing," even if they are true. "The allegations are that a man in his early 30s dated teenage girls," Zeigler told The Washington Examiner. "Even the Washington Post report says that he never had sexual intercourse with any of the girls and never attempted sexual intercourse." "Take the Bible. Zachariah and Elizabeth for instance. Zachariah was extremely old to marry Elizabeth and they became the parents of John the Baptist,” Zeigler told The Examiner. "Also take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus." "There’s just nothing immoral or illegal here," Zeigler said. "Maybe just a little bit unusual." ---------------------------------------------------- Sheesh. This is Alabama, and you can draw what inferences you want from that. After watching Rachel Maddow's guests on the topic tonight I am inclined to believe that Roy Moore will ride this out with the full support of Alabama Republicans.

I have a hunch that the Democrats knee about Moore's sexual adventures, but kept it under wraps until it could do the most damage. For the re ords, Doug Jones is a white guy, best known for prosecutonh the KKK guys who bombed the church in Birmingham.
