Nelson voted for Trump in 2016 - as did Leigh Corfman, who has accused Moore of initiating sexual contact with her when she was 14 - and she produced her high school yearbook, which Moore apparently signed prior to the alleged car incident. She recalls that he told her to keep quiet because “no one will ever believe you.” But instead of stopping, he began squeezing my neck, attempting to force my head onto his crotch … I thought he was going to rape me.” She got out. Then this: “I tried fighting him off while yelling at him to stop. She got in, but says he kept the car in park and began to grope her. She was a waitress, and Moore offered to give her a ride home. She appeared on camera yesterday and said she’d be willing testify under oath before a Senate committee about her encounter with Moore when she was 16.
If I’ve got a choice of putting my welfare into the hands of Putin or the Washington Post, Putin wins every time.” My response, to the revelation that this guy would rather trust his “welfare” to a murderous dictator who waged info warfare on our election, can only be: My gosh.īut the fifth woman to surface, Beverly Young Nelson, was not interviewed by The Post. This says it best: After The Washington Post named the first four women in a story based on 30 sources, Republican national committeeman Paul Reynolds, an Alabaman, said: “My gosh, it’s The Washington Post. In the words of columnist George Will, a conservative who understands the limits of tribalism, the Alabama GOP’s attitude is “grotesque,” a classic illustration of how the win-at-all-costs cult is “curdling politics.” According to one new poll, 37 percent of Alabama’s evangelicals say they’re now more likely to vote for Moore only 28 percent, less likely. A Republican under a thickening perv cloud is better than a gun-owning Democrat who prosecuted racists who killed black kids in a church bombing - simply because Doug Jones is a Democrat.
12, special election day, to anoint Moore as the first senator in history (that we know of) to take office as an accused child molester.īecause the way things work today in a state like Alabama, the party label is everything. The Alabama polls have supposedly tightened since last Thursday, when Senate candidate Moore was first credibly outed by four women who encountered him as teens, but it’s still very conceivable that a heavily Republican electorate (roughly 35 percent of whom are white evangelicals) will find enough excuses on Dec. WHYY thanks our sponsors - become a WHYY sponsor But at what point does partisan tribalism and the cult of winning become so toxic that common decency becomes a casualty of war? I get that Alabama is a crimson-red state, so red that it hasn’t elected a Democratic senator in 25 years. But despite the fact that a fifth woman has now surfaced to accuse holier-than-thou Roy Moore of pervy behavior (she says that when she was 16 and he was in his early 30s, “he began squeezing my neck, attempting to force my head onto his crotch”) despite the fact that a former assistant DA in Alabama now says it was “common knowledge” that Moore cruised for young teens despite the fact that his habit of hitting on teens got him barred from the town mall and despite the fact that a growing list of Republican senators want to scrape Moore off their shoes (including Mitch McConnell, Pat Toomey, Ted Cruz, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, and Orrin Hatch), leaders of the Alabama GOP, buttressed by bottom-feeder Steve Bannon, are still standing by their man. History will judge you in this moment.”Ī noble try. You are on the front line and have the power to stop its spread. This is what I'm dealing with.On Twitter this morning, former George W. up in the morning and just pretend like nothing happened. "From the bar to the Hilton Garden Inn, he has his hands on me. In a video detailing the evening, the staffer reportedly said, "Matt Schlapp of the CPAC grabbed my junk and pummeled it at length, and I'm sitting there thinking what the hell is going on, that this person is literally doing this to me.
The staffer recalled that during the drive, Schlapp allegedly put his hand on the staffer's leg, before he reached over and "fondled" his crotch, which the staffer described as "scarring" and "humiliating." In the new report, a male staffer alleged that Schlapp made "sustained and unwanted and unsolicited" sexual contact with him while the staffer was driving Schlapp back to his hotel during an October campaign event in Georgia. Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, speaks during the Conservative Political Action Conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on October 11, 2019.
