The allegations against Roy Moore are disgusting — and if you find yourself reluctant to say so because of your politics, then you’re pretty gross, too.
The Leigh Corfman story, reported by the Washington Post, is about so much more than just some older guy having a relationship with some younger girl. That, of course, would be bad enough — many girls haven’t even had their f***ing periods at age 14 — but this is also about a man who abuses his power to prey on the powerless. It’s about a respected district attorney finding a girl in a vulnerable position (waiting with her mother outside of a child-support hearing) and relishing in the opportunity to take advantage of it. It’s a sick story that is all too common, and one that will continue to be common if we refuse to speak out against it.
I believe that Roy Moore was a predator with a penchant for teenage girls. No, not because I’m some p***y-hat-wearing snowflake (as eloquent as that argument is) but because of logic. As my colleague David French notes, there are a lot of reasons to believe these allegations: There are multiple accusers. These women didn’t come to the press seeking attention, they simply answered the questions when the press came to them. They have witnesses corroborating their stories. Finally, the woman with the most serious allegations, Leigh Corfman, voted for Donald Trump in 2016 — making the political-hit-job storyline laughable at best.
If you think there’s no way you know anyone personally who has been through something like this; you’re wrong again, and it’s time for people on all political sides to recognize reality: These men are everywhere, so are their victims, and those victims aren’t talking points for your partisan-hack gotcha tweets. They’re people.

Maybe last week was the very last time I watch the Gutfeld Show, because of Katherine’s dishonesty.
Would like to see where National Review gets it’s revenue now.
Hello liberals, progressives, democrats, Hollywood, muslims.
and if you find yourself reluctant to say so because of your politics, then you’re pretty gross, too.
What does this presstitute have to say about Bill CLinton and Ted Kennedy??
I condemn predators, sweetie.
I just don’t believe Roy Moore is one.
To which I reply, If you refuse to extend benefit of the doubt and presumption of innocence in a case like this one, you’re worse scum than I thought you were.
Bill Kristol is a homo.
Off the top of my head there are 3 or 4 women he allegedly tried to date and woo for marriage. Except for 1 all were of legal age and nothing sexual occurred except that he was in his early 30s and they were under 20.
The 1 was 14 at the time and said he was sexually aggressive with her but her mother approved their dating.
I don’t believe the story of the 14 year old at all and the remaining accusations aren’t sexual harassment at all.
There is more evidence against Ted Cruz on Amanda Carpenter’s twitter account than there is in the Washington Compost hit on Roy Moore.
and if you find yourself reluctant to say so because of your politics, then you’re pretty gross, too.
WHat she isn’t good enough for ISIS?
“The allegations against Roy Moore are disgusting”
—
I agree - so, stop making them ya dimwitted sellout.
You can smell the panic at Republican Establishment headquarters. Desperation all over.
You’ve got to consider the seriousness of the charges.
I find it odd that 30 witnesses saw a 30 year old man diddling a 14 year old in 1978 and didn’t say or do anything
EVERY SINGLE BS argument about these allegations has been EXACTLY defended by the same people buying the story hook, line and sinker.
Truth is, I have no idea about the validity of the claims. But the sure the hell is enough reason to have high suspicion about the Washington Post reporting it. Lord knows they have had their share of creative fiction writers labelled as reporters before. Add to that the general media reputation and scandal that is rampant, and I tell you, the story would not be considered in my thoughts regarding who to vote for.
As a judge, in a jury case, this article would not be submitted as evidence until the “victims” had been vetted and/or filed charges. The information regarding the election should be completely disregarded. If it’s proven true later, he can be removed from office.
Otherwise, I believe this is a scandal created by the media to sway an election MORE than I believe it is the truth. I suppose we shall see as time marches on.
So how did the press find who to ask?
Kat is an anorexic dingbat. Toss her a pork chop.
Why is it that, absent DNA, not one of Bill Clinton’s accusers have been taken seriously?
I’m waiting for them!
Charge Moore with something and then we can talk.
This is entirely The Crucible 2.0 and it used to amaze me that people were so stupid and gullible to fall for hysteria and then kill people over it... and yet here we are.
