GADSDEN, Ala. – This evening, the Judge Roy Moore Campaign for U.S. Senate released the statements of twelve women who are coming forward as character witnesses for Roy Moore. Here are their statements:
“I have known Roy Moore for about forty years. Roy and I briefly dated when I was in my twenties. While I was around Roy, either just the two of us or with other people, he was always a true gentleman treating me with respect and courtesy. I can honestly say that I never have seen or heard any inappropriate remarks or behaviors while he was around me. I believe that Roy lives by his Christian beliefs and is a good man.
- Jennie Klingenbeck, Birmingham, AL (previously Gadsden, Alabama).
My name is Jaime Moses and I was born and raised in Gadsden, Alabama. I worked at Uncle Sam’s BBQ (closed now) for 10 years while in my 20’s and waited on Roy Moore and his family. Mr. Moore and his wife were nothing but friendly and respectful. The children were the same, which is a sign of great parenting. He knew many people dining there and spoke and shook hands with everyone. Not once did he make me feel uncomfortable. Working in the food industry can be hard sometimes and Mr. Moore’s kindness to myself and staff did not go unnoticed.
- Jaime Moses, native of Gadsden, Alabama.
"My first remembrance of Roy Moore was grammar school. He was probably in Jr High school but all of us Gallant kids rode the same bus. He was always a gentle, kind boy and grew into an even more admirable man. He was my softball coach in my high school days and was always such a kind person, never a mean or hateful word to any of us. Only kindness and utmost respect! Have been friends with all of his family for many, many years. NEVER heard ANY mention of any such behavior in all these years. Have seen him at the local church several times with his knees bowed in prayer at the altar. Takes time to listen to people. Just a wonderful, Christian man in a small rural community. Devoted to family, friends and most of all God. Proud to know him and will continue to support him with our presence and prayers."
- Sharon Lamkin, Gallant, Alabama
"I have known Roy for over 30 years. I met him in 1984 when he met my sister in church and began dating her. He has always showed honor and dignity. I truly can't even begin to grasp that people would question his character. He has lived by what he preached since the day I met him."
- Kandi Kisor Smith, sister of Kayla Moore.
"I was the receptionist for Roy Moore the first time he was Chief Justice and I am proud of our history. I saw everything that went on in that office and I've never worked for anybody who was more considerate, honest, or kind. We all enjoyed our tenure there. He was always up and above board. If any of these people who are slandering the good name of Roy Moore had ever worked with Judge they would know what a fine person he is. My history with Judge Moore was nothing but pleasurable and this is all upsetting to me."
- Marianne Rhodes, receptionist for Roy Moore during his tenure as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court from 2000-2003.
?"I feel it my duty to say that I have known Roy Moore since I was a kid. I worked closely with Roy (adjoining offices) when I was 16 years old. I went to school half a day and worked at the bank half a day. NEVER did he in any way make me feel uncomfortable, flirt, or make advances towards me. He was always a kind and respectable man. We are still friends to this day and I would put my life in his hands if need be. There is not way that these statements these people are making are true. Someone is getting some hefty perks coming from the lies that are being told. I appreciate and respect everything that Roy has done for our state and citizens."
- Elaine Conner Watson, native of Gadsden, Alabama.
"I have known Roy Moore and his family for over thirty years. I spent a great deal of time as a child with his nieces, who lived in close proximity to Mr. Moore's residence. There was never a time I felt uncomfortable or witnessed any inappropriate behavior by him . We have attended the same church for over twenty years and I have always had the utmost respect for the life he leads and the principles he stands for."
- Amanda Pearce, Gadsden, Alabama.
“My name is Doris Mason. I have known Roy Moore for over 50 years. I first met him when I started dating his first cousin, Dennis Mason. Dennis and I married in 1965, eventually had 4 children (3 of whom are girls) and we frequently visited his childhood home prior to our marriage. Roy has been nothing short of a true gentleman toward me, my daughters, and anyone else I have witnessed his interaction with. He spent many evenings in our home around our dinner table. Roy has spent time with all of our children at length and he has always displayed integrity, honesty and impeccable character. It is my belief that the accusations against Roy are completely false! Do I believe that Roy is perfect? Certainly not. No human is. What I do know is that he is a man that I trust and offer my utmost respect to because he has never been anything but respectful towards me and my family!”
- Doris Mason, Attalla, Alabama.
"I have known Roy Moore for 25 years. Roy has always been a kind, caring and generous Man of God. I have never heard anything bad said about Roy. He is a wonderful spiritual leader to his family and has exceptional character."
-Brenda Parrish, Gallant, Alabama.
“My name is Angie Johnson. We have know Roy Moore and his family for more than 25 years. His son was coached on a ball team by my husband ..a team player along side my son. Roy also helped with coaching the team. My husband and I have been guests in his home, in his office in Gadsden as well as Montgomery. I am acquaintances with several members of Roys family. I have never known Roy to exhibit anything other than appropriate behavior during our times together. Further I was raised and lived in Gadsden all of my 50+ years and I have never been aware of any of the incidents that have been spoken of about Roy. I worked in a fast food establishment that Roy frequented during the time period in question. Again ...no behaviour exhibited other than respect and mannerful...during that time Roy had written and recorded a 45 record which he brought over and gifted to my mother. I do not understand waiting years and years to make accusations unless there are political or monetary gains to be made. It is a sad day when someone can take a person's character and attempt to discredit them by making accusations that cannot be proven. How quick everyone is to take the position of judge, juror, and executioner. What if the shoe was on the other foot. I would never condone sexual harassment against anyone if proven.”
- Angie Johnson, native of Gadsden.
“My name is Linda Whitt. I had the pleasure of meeting Roy Moore around 15 years ago. He is related to my husband's brother-in-law. I have never known Roy to be anything other than a gentleman. With that being said, it saddens me that there are those who seek to tarnish the reputation of a good man.”
- Linda Whitt, Duck Springs, Alabama.
“I have known Roy Moore all my life. He is one of the most godly men I've even known. I would trust him with my life and I could call on him for anything and I know he'd be there. He's a wonderful husband, father and granddaddy and loves his family dearly.”
- Jennifer Price, Gallant, Alabama.
Well, the answer to that is obvious. They are voting for the current man, because it is impossible to vote for the much-younger man.
That being said, Moore needs to come clean. Which one of us has not done some very stupid things in our lifetimes? Americans are typically a forgiving / forgetting bunch as long as someone admits their faults. But to lie or obfuscate about a past indiscretion? Good luck.
RTFA!
Some of those character references cover the time frame in question and more.
In any case, you have the burden of proof wrong.
And you ignore common sense suspicions such as the timing of the accusations and their source.
Moore pretty much did that in his interview with Hannity. He admitted to the possibility of having dated women young enough that he felt he needed permission from their mothers.
What was the result? The media and the GOP-e jumped all over it as evidence of guilt. Media Matters mounted yet another effort to shut Hannity down for the sin of giving Moore a platform.
You can't deal with these people in a civilized manner. You must be guided by their instruction book.
Amen!
Many people are claiming they have known him for decades and never witnessed any of the behavior that is being alleged. The statements are directly refuting the allegations claiming knowledge of his demeanor/behavior at the time the allegations are said to have occurred.
“that does not mean he is innocent of what numerous people allegedly witnessed decades ago.”
Even if so, and they are all telling the truth (which I find highly unlikely), exactly what did he do? Nothing illegal. And something very common to human history. Men in their twenties married women in their teens all the time for most of human history. I may not like it (I have teenage daughters) but you know -
Almanzo Wilder courted and married Laura Ingalls. No one seemed bothered about it.
Sexual predators are addicted to their behavior fetishes. It’s extremely unlikely Moore is guilty unless he did a one in a million cold turkey and succeeded. He would be doing stuff a lot more recently. It wasn’t even rape either, whereas Democrats have people from far more recently actually doing worse.
God Bless the decent women, who are willing to stand up for a decent, kind spirited, gentleman being smeared by Leftist bullies with9ut a trace of fairness or integrity.
Elemental decency is all on one side of this fray, and it is not on that of the Left.
Who says he hasn't???? YOU, pseudonymous internet dude? Gloria All Red??? Mitch McTurtle??? The Washington comPost??? Seriously?
The people who accused him are simply not credible.
I guess I must have missed that story...
“pseudonymous internet dude”
Pseudonymous Internet Dude is you, son. “On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.”
