D.C. Swamp’s Last Gasp: Fake News WaPo Colludes With GOP Establishment in Last Minute Smear...

[FULL TITLE] D.C. Swamp’s Last Gasp: Fake News WaPo Colludes With GOP Establishment in Last Minute Smear of Roy Moore

Several leading entrenched GOP establishment figures rushed to the microphones on Thursday to call for Ten Commandments Judge Roy Moore to step down from his Alabama U.S. Senate campaign after the left-wing fake news Washington Post — which endorsed Moore’s Democrat Primary — concocted a last-minute hit piece intended to take out the principled Christian constitutional conservative.

The WaPo hatchet job, conveniently produced a month before the Alabama Senate election on December 12, wants us to believe that Moore, 70, sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl when he was 32, in 1979, and that somehow — after 40 years in public service — (judges are elected in Alabama where Moore served on the Alabama Supreme Court) this “news” never before surfaced.

“These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign,” Moore said in a statement obtained by Breitbart News.

Separately, Moore’s campaign said in a statement, “This garbage is the very definition of fake news and intentional defamation.”

Surrender Caucus Leader Mitch McConnell (who unprecedentedly spent $30 million to defeat Moore in the Republican primary — Moore was running against his hand-picked puppy dog, Luther Strange) and his merry band of establishment RINO stooges, pounced on the news, immediately calling for Moore to exit the race so that a Democrat can be elected.

Of course, there is no way to disprove something someone has been accused of 38 years ago, something the GOP establishment is relishing in. Shamefully, pro-Obamacare, pro-amnesty RINO John McCain, whose voting record is 67% liberal, called for Moore to step aside for the Democrat, even if the allegations are untrue, that the allegations alone are enough to disqualify Moore — which tells you everything you need to know:

7h NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt ✔ @NBCNightlyNews Replying to @NBCNightlyNews If allegations against Roy Moore are true, "he should seriously think about stepping aside," Sen. Rounds says. NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt ✔@NBCNightlyNews BREAKING: Sen. McCain: "The allegations against Roy Moore are deeply disturbing and disqualifying. He should immediately step aside and allow the people of Alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of." 1:46 PM - Nov 9, 2017 12 12 Replies 33 33 Retweets 65 65 likes Twitter Ads info and privacy RELATED: Judge Roy Moore Decimates Mitch McConnell’s ‘DC Slime Machine’ [VIDEO]

Why? Because let’s face the truth — the GOP establishment would rather have a Democrat than a real conservative who has previously said that he would not support McConnell as majority leader, and will fight to restore the Judeo-Christian values and principles that are responsible for making America the greatest country on earth — principles that are under assault by godless progressives in both political parties.

This is why swamp creatures Mitch McConnell — John Thune — John McCain can accept the WaPo hit piece as gospel — from an organization that frequently traffics in fake news in order to smear conservatives and more importantly — Christian such as Roy Moore.

For Mitch McConnell, these kinds of dirty tricks against conservative Tea Party candidates is nothing new. Remember Mississippi, where Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniel was viciously smeared as a racist by the GOP establishment in 2014, in order to keep sleepy and incoherent RINO stooge Thad Cochran in power.

In September, soulless McConnell’s sleazy anti-conservative “Senate Leadership Fund,” whose goal is to keep establishment RINOs in charge, was caught splicing together videos from two separate events in an out of context manner—in other words deceptively editing videos—to make it appear as though Judge Moore does not support President Donald Trump’s planned border wall. Even liberal fact-checker Politifact cried foul.

“The Swamp’s fervor continues to bubble up in Alabama,” a leading grassroots Tea Party activist, Becky Gerritson, president of the Wetumpka Tea Party in Wetumpka, Alabama, told Breitbart News in response to McConnell’s falsified attack ads. “Mitch McConnell and the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) have released a new ad for their ‘chosen one’, ‘Big Luther’ Strange. Rather than focusing on the “positive qualities” of their candidate they, once again, have resorted to using their opponent’s words out of context to create a lie.

Keep in mind this is the same Mitch McConnell who vowed to “crush” the Tea Party — principled conservatives who believe in constitutionally-limited government — everywhere. The swamp is feeling the heat as the election day nears. Establishment Republicans are colluding with the Democrat Media Complex to protect their turf.

Previously, WaPo reported that “outsider” candidate Roy Moore was going aiming to deliver a “new level of disruption in the U.S. Senate” against the D.C. swamp.

“You think that God’s not angry that this land is a moral slum?” asked Moore, 70, reciting a rhyming poem he had written years earlier during a 50-minute address before several dozen believers, WaPo reported. “How much longer will it be before his judgment comes?”

“Watch if he doesn’t do exactly what he says he will do,” says Dean Young, a longtime Moore friend and adviser, who helped coax him into the Senate race, WaPo reported. “They can kick him off every committee. They can blackball him. It won’t matter if it’s one man against 99 in the Senate. We all know Judge Moore will be that one man.”

In other words, Roy Moore, who was willing to risk his career to fight for real marriage and the Ten Commandments, is not going to go along to get along. And the D.C. swamp, as evidenced by their coordinated rapid-fire response to WaPo’s fake news hit piece, is feeling the heat.

Let’s call this what it is — a vicious attack against a strong Christian, a man of God who the D.C. swamp sees as a threat to their power and influence.

In 2008, the day after McCain won the Republican nomination, the NYT ran a front page story about an alleged McCain affair.

I guess McCain should have stepped aside because of the allegations.

It’s just so damn transparent. The GOPe, McConnell in particular, tells us that Bannon’s candidates can win primaries but can’t win the general. Abra ca dabra, it’s disclosed that 39 years ago Moore hit on a 14 year old. Out of thin air, like a great magician the WaPo pulls a rabbit out of the hat.

The GOPe will gladly lose a senate seat and use it as the excuse to tank Trump’s agenda, something they were doing anyway. Then, they will turn to us and say, “see, we told you that you have to support our candidates.” As if we won’t know that they sabotaged Roy Moore?!?!

And on another note, FoxNews has found its new Meghan Kelly clone in the form of Shannon Bream. She was on tonight treating this story with not even one shred of skepticism. Chris Stirewalt, Megan Kelly’s old smirking RINO pet has been adopted from the GOPe shelter. He was on with his usual Republicans are doomed and Roy Moore is guilty schtick. Lord help me I want to punch that guy in his always wrong face.

The Uniparty is determined to not let us elect anyone who will side with the citizens and the rule of law against illegal aliens and their employers.
They have a bipartisan plan to change the demographics of the country against the will of the citizens.
They have been manipulating elections for decades preventing us from stopping the illegal alien inundation.
We are usually only allowed to vote for candidates who support open borders/amnesty.
They have marginalized or ruined everyone who has stood in their way.
Trump as an anomaly that they do not intend to allow again.
They have been purposely flooding the country with foreigners (and they are voting) to steal our country from us.

If the allegations about Menendez and the Lolita Express are true, shouldn’t he resign, Mitch?

I hope Judge Moore has a good team who will help him to make this story disappear. If the best the Swamp has is he-says-she-says from 38 years ago, that should not be enough to put another socialist in the US Senate over a real American.

I despise them, but how is something that is a month away from election a “last minute” smear?

I predict a coordinated campaign of paid bimbos and smears. We will get a whole parade of liars before the election is here. It's how the ruling elite got Cain removed.

The GOP establishment would rather lose the seat to a Democrat than see it won by an anti-establishment candidate, even if of their own party.

The Post is owned by Nash Holdings LLC, a holding company for billionaire Amazon founder and open borders champion Jeffrey Bezos.

The newspaper formally endorsed Moore’s Democratic opponent Doug Jones in the Senate race.

In a series of articles, Breitbart News has documented Jones’s close associations with far-left groups financed by George Soros that push open borders and a host of radical causes.

...”Will this backfire and make Moore’s supporters even more firm in supporting him? To a great degree because of President Trump’s campaign, people are much less fooled by garbage such as this.”...

I think that we are just about saturated with the Washington Post’s efforts to destroy conservatism and it’s supporters. While serial sexual predators are mostly on the side of the Godless left, the MSM and the corresponding swamp dwellers were bound to try and find a big name on the right to accuse, so they offered up Roy Moore, an avowed Christian (two birds with one stone is always good in the eyes of the left), and an accuser from the culture of the 50s/60s, when young girls could agree to sexual activity with guys of their choosing. Remember Woodstock and free love orgies? That generation turned over all the rules and the history of it resides mostly in the minds of those who lived through it. Now, it could be that a play on what happened back there is simply the difference in cultures from then to now. Pedophilia is to be abhorred, but the age of consent has changed and the rules have changed. So have laws. Back then abortion (made legal in 1973) and homosexuality were to be punished wherever found and it’s adherents were to be shunned. The Roy Moore accusation may be the waterloo of a knee jerk reaction to what the Washington Post puts out. Beware McConnell and others who would quickly jump on that band wagon. Roy Moore should fight this in court, if no crime of force took place. The culture of the time when this happened has to be considered. Also, Moore’s age at the time. Some research of public records in the South at the time would turn up marriages for girls 16 and younger. You cannot take today’s law and go back to apply it to a different time in history. If that could be done, the left would be in deep, deep trouble.

What's going on in the US is no different than when ISIS destroyed cultural treasures thousands of years old in the Mideast. Cultural appropriation erases past history and society...events and people should be evaluated in context.

I remember the 1960s and 1970s. I don't know anyone who would meet today's weird standards. It's one reason why I suspect this assault on Roy Moore's integrity might backfire. In the real world, NO ONE could live up to the standards of those who (think about it) embrace sexual perversion while writing new rules for the past for everyone else.

And then there's the hypocrisy. One of the Kennedy's got off the hook for raping a woman in a Kennedy FL mansion (remember that?). And Bill Clinton is a serial abuser; nobody even denies it anymore.

I knew that swampthing Republicans were bad, real bad. But I never thought that they'd bring the nation down with them.

As a Jewess on the US, I can only point out that the number of women who allegedly DATED, but had no sex with, Roy Moore is EXACTLY the same number who accused President Clinton of FORCIBLE RAPE, a FAR more serious offense. Now we know why all REAL Americans put our 2nd Amendment FIRST. Just sayin’!
