Courtesy of the Daily Kos:Roy Moore is out with a fundraising appeal that seems to relate to the WaPo story http://pic.twitter.com/oPNCthae9c— Erica Werner (@ericawerner) November 9, 2017
What’s an uber-conservative God-fearing Republican politician to do faced with careful, detailed reporting that, as a man in his 30s, he abused his position as an assistant district attorney to prey on teenage girls? If you’re Alabama’s Roy Moore, you fundraise off of it. That’s right, Moore is out with a fundraising email claiming that “The Obama-Clinton Machine’s liberal media lapdogs just launched the most vicious and nasty round of attacks against me I’ve EVER faced.”
"Vicious and nasty round of attacks" is Republican-speak for "People are telling the truth about me again."
You have to admit it takes some balls to actually send out a fundraising email that cites allegations of pedophilia.
And it appears that there are many who will continue to support this pig, and will likely send money to benefit his campaign.
One Alabama state representative even suggested that it was the women who should face prosecution:Top Alabama Republican responds to Moore allegations: I'd trust Putin over Washington Post https://t.co/QhRXF8U1ma http://pic.twitter.com/mVWUwE6wpb— The Hill (@thehill) November 10, 2017
“If they believe this man is predatory, they are guilty of allowing him to exist for 40 years. I think someone should prosecute and go after them. You can’t be a victim 40 years later, in my opinion,” Henry said.
I think that pretty much sums up some of the thinking in Alabama.
