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.
