Yet, if you are a woman in Hollywood (or former child actor) and you have evidence of rape or molestation you can count on the media and the Hollywood elites to threaten and intimidate you into silence. At least they do so until the evidence is so overwhelming that intimidation and cover ups won’t work. Better yet, even after the evidence is undeniable you have Little Gloria Allred aka Lisa Bloom digging up dirt on you to malign you.
But have no evidence and conveniently remember your horrible encounter with an evil Republican right before an election, then you are to be believed instantly.
Bannon will not take this one lying down. Mitch is dead meat walking.
It's all about spin and exposure and publicity and politics nowadays.
This one doesn't give me much pause to think it's true. It could be but how important is something like this 40 years later, except to the advantage of the woman making this claim? She offers nothing to back it up and neither does the Washington Compost. Just mud-slinging at this point. 15-minutes of fame maybe. But to coincidentally bring this out for the very first time one month before the election, is proof enough this is the Alabama version of the October Surprise. It won't stick.
But what does give me pause in this, is all of the GOP establishment elites at first blush, suggesting Moore pull the plug on his campaign. Not one word of support. No rallying to the party's nominee for the Senate. Just pointed remarks from them, said with innuendo, to quit if it is true. These people know this could be fake news. Most of it is nowadays. But no skepticism shown. No remaining neutral until Moore got his denial out. Piling on is what I see.
Falling back in the legal theory of "the reasonable man", what would he think here?
A reasonable man would look at this and say this is a political stunt intended to knock Moore our of the race or minimize his support right before the levers are to be pulled. And the odds are that it's not true at all. Check into this woman's background and I bet she's a liberal taking one for the party. Or being paid to come forward to make it sound worse than it was.
This one smells skanky to me.
