Roy Moore Slams The Washington Post, Promises More ‘Revelations’ In The Coming Days

November 11, 2017Rebel Wilson Claims A Male Star ‘In A Position Of Power’ Repeatedly Asked Her To Stick Her Finger Up His A$$
November 11, 2017Senate GOP candidate Roy Moore isn’t backing down. According to the Washington Post’s story, Moore allegedly pursued relationships with teenage girls. He was in his 30s at the time. The most serious accusation comes from Leigh Corfman, who claims Moore kissed her and touched her inappropriately when she was just 14.
Moore is quickly losing the support of valuable allies, like Sen. Mike Lee.
Despite that, he’s not backing down. He spoke at a Mid-Alabama Republican Club event on Saturday and denied the accusations while slamming the Washington Post.
“Just two days ago The Washington Post published yet another attack on my character and reputation in a desperate attempt to stop my campaign for U.S. Senate. These attacks involve minors and they are completely false and untrue — about something that happened nearly 40 years ago,” Moore told the crowd. “But more than being completely false and untrue, they’re very hurtful to me personally. I’ve been married to my wife Kayla for nearly 33 years. We have four children. I have one daughter and I have five granddaughters.”
“I have the highest regard for the protection of young children,” Moore said, adding that “to be attacked for allegations of sexual misconduct contradicts my entire career of the law. I want to make it clear to the media present and the people present I have not provided alcoholic beverages — beer or anything else to minors. I have not been guilty of sexual misconduct with anyone. These allegations came four and a half weeks before the general election on Dec. 12. Why now? For 40 years I have been closely scrutinized in the press and public media.”
Moore then ticked off all the campaigns he ran for elected office where he was investigated and scrutinized by opponents and the media.
“They do investigations in every [race] I’ve ever run,” Moore said. “I’ve been investigated more than any other person in this country. That these grown women would wait 40 years to come forward right before an election to bring charges is absolutely unbelievable.”
That’s what really gets me. The timing.
Like I’ve said before, Moore isn’t exactly a new face. He’s been in the public eye before. Why is this just coming out now? The fact that these accusations are coming out JUST IN TIME for the election is pretty questionable.
“The Democrats and Republican establishment know the importance of this election. In fact most people in America know the importance of this election,” Moore said. “It may well determine the future of our country.”
He went on to say that the WaPo’s hit piece is a “prime example” of #FakeNews.
“This article is a prime example of fake news, intended to divert attention from the true issues that affect our country, like healthcare, military readiness, tax reform, immigration, and the national debt. We do not intend to let the Democrats or establishment Republicans or anybody else behind this story to stop this campaign,” Moore explained.
More also hinted that more information will come out (in regards to the WaPo’s motivation to publish the smear piece) in the coming days.
“There are investigations that are going on. In the next few days there will be revelations about the motivation and the content of this article,” Moore said.
“I do not expect the Washington Post to stop, I think they have a political agenda, and I think they’re running that agenda and everybody in this room, everybody watching on these cameras, should ask themselves it’s strange that after 40 years of constant investigations people have waited from four weeks prior to the investigation to bring their complaints,” he added.
I don’t know about you, but I look forward to these “revelations.”
