A federal jury awarded Republican Roy Moore $8.2 million in damages Friday after finding that a Democratic super PAC defamed him in an advertisement during the 2017 U.S. Senate race in Alabama.
Conservative Roy Moore had won the Senate primary. Democrats then set out to destroy his candidacy.
Jurors found the Senate Majority PAC made false and defamatory statements against Moore in the ad that attempted to capitalize on a sexual misconduct accusation made against Moore during the 2017 race, Yahoo News reports.

Do you mean a court actually got something right for a change?
Amazing. They usually bungle everything they touch.
I guess a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile.
Yes. How much was the value of all the corruption they managed to sneak through on the basis of stealing that seat?
FR was rabidly anti roy moore and we lost the senate seat.
Yes, a lot of people here were absolutely fooled by the media lie machine and they did what they could to support the other side.
I fought and argued with a bunch of them, but you can't talk someone out of an idea they reached on the basis of emotion. All those media lies worked on them.
I was ashamed of being a freeper at the time
I was ashamed we had so many naive people who couldn't see through the con.
The uniparty attacked anyone they saw as an uncorruptable reformer. They went after Cristine O'Donnell, Chris McDaneil, and several others who's names I have forgot.
They helped the media lie machine spread more lies about them.
Anyone they saw as not bribeable or not threatenable, they moved heaven and earth to stop.
I believe that style of speech is called "Posh" in Britain. It's the speech style of the upper class. There are many dialects of British English, but that is the one people expect from high ranking government officials.
I've been watching videos about British dialects over the last few weeks. Also videos about the history of the English language. I find some of it quite interesting.
I don’t understand that emoji you posted. What does it mean?
Where are all the freeper apologies for being useful idiots?
Yep, you are correct in how FR treated probable the most Christian conservative to run for Senate in the last 25 years. Roy Moore couldn’t be bought, so democrats, Rinos, and Hollyweird threw everything including the kitchen sink at him. It still sickens me how Roy was treated.
Lets see if I can remember some stuff beyond so-called conservatives piling on Moore. We had late night tv shows sending folks to mock Moore at town meetings. We had every liberal (and Rino) PAC making up lies, we had the lady that just won the Senate race trying to have Roy voted against (she worked for Shelby)... Even the head democrat congratulated her for helping him elect Doug Jones. Hell, even our beloved Ted Cruz piled on Roy Moore. The local GOP (even the GOP youth group) all chucked brown nuggets at Roy Moore with ZZZZZZEEEERRRROOOO (nada) proof and any allegations being true. ZERO Zilch ... the lie worked with the help of half or more of FR joining in the fray.
The ONLY person that didn’t throw Roy under the bus just got defeated (and was a good guy) ... Mo Brooks.
