Roy Moore pens open letter to Hannity as his deadline to explain allegations nears
The Hill ^ | 11/16/2017 | BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE

Posted on 11/16/2017 12:56:56 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Republican Alabama Senate nominee Roy Moore has penned an open letter to Fox News host Sean Hannity, in which the former judge denied several of the sexual misconduct accusations recently levied against him.

The letter comes after Hannity on Tuesday night gave Moore “24 hours” to provide proof that he did not engage in sexual misconduct with teen girls.

“I adamantly deny the allegations of Leigh Corfman and Beverly Nelson, did not date underage girls, and have taken steps to begin a civil action for defamation,” Moore writes in the letter to Hannity, referring to two of his accusers. “Because of that, at the direction of counsel, I cannot comment further.” Hannity during his Tuesday evening show noted Moore has provided inconsistent answers about the claims from a woman who publicly alleged earlier this week that Moore assaulted her when she was 16.

“You must immediately and fully come up with a satisfactory explanation for your inconsistencies that I just showed,” Hannity said on his show. “You must remove any doubt. If he can’t do this, Judge Moore needs to get out of this race.”

Moore in the letter to the Fox host reiterated his campaign’s response that separate accusations in a story in The Washington Post are politically motivated, calling the story “a desperate attempt to smear my character and defeat my campaign.”

“Are we at a stage in American politics in which false allegations can overcome a public record of 40 years, stampede the media and politicians to condemn an innocent man, and potentially impact the outcome of an election of national importance?” Moore asks in the letter.

The only deadline here is how fast Hannity can become more of an attention whore.

Anybody else wonder why Judge Roy Moore’s opponent is
silent or is it just that I’m not paying close enough
attention? Could Doug Jones have his own closet full of
skeletons?

Dear Hannity,

Shove your deadline up your ass. You aren’t the boss of me and Alabama don’t need you around, anyhow.

Roy Moore

How do you prove a negative? ie—something that didn’t happen?

Hannity is so full of crap ...Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock. He’s a coward who’s not fit to shine Judge Moore’s boots. Judge Moore has courageously stood up to every thing the nation’s corrupt ruling elite could manufacture to throw at him ... and he’s still standing proudly. Hannity folds like a cheap suit the moment the slightest pressure is brought to bear on him.

Next month, the good citizens of Alabama will have the opportunity to vote the incorruptible Moore into the US Senate where his presence, his honesty and his character is sorely needed. Vote him in with pride, Alabama.

There is absolutely no reason for Jones to say anything on this matter.

In fact it would detract for his chances of an upset.

Smart politics says to let this be about Judge Moore.

That’s actually a pretty powerful argument.

Moore should have just ignored Mr. 'Tick-Tock' Beck Hannity.

And the Michael Medved award for Backstabber of the year goes to ... Mr. Tick Tock - Sean Hannity.

Seth Rich, Sean, remember Seth Rich - his ghost is going to haunt you now. Now its not just liberals boycotting you. By the way Sean have you stopped beating your wife?

Judge Moore looks like he is on the road to recovery - thank you Gloria Alred and Al Frankin.

Once it is accepted that the signature in the yearbook is a forgery (next couple of days) the narrative collapses and the judge is off the struggle bus. Keep fighting judge!

There may be no reason for Jones to say anything but
for a politician not to broach the issue of his
opponent’s most vulnerable issue is almost unheard of.
Jones may not need to POUND on Moore’s harassment issue
but if he says nothing then somebody just may start
wondering about him and that’s all I’m saying.

Could be. Could also be because he's following the ages old advice 'when your enemies are destroying themselves don't interfere.' This character assassination is the work of Republicans led by Mitch McConnell, not democrats.

It’s a frightening thought that anyone has to answer to Sean Hannity. Possible bumper sticker: Sean Hannity - A Legend in His Own Mind
