The Left was always going to come at Alabama Republican Roy Moore with everything they had, a conservative author told Laura Ingraham on Wednesday night.
Moore, a former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice and now Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, has been accused of having relations with a 14-year-old girl and assaulting a 17-year-old when he was in his early thirties, more than 30 years ago.

The charges have upended the race to replace Jeff Sessions. The special election is Dec. 12, and Moore faces liberal Democrat Doug Jones. The race has already distressed Alabama voters, writer Quin Hillyer said on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" on Wednesday.
"I think there's a very large number of Alabamians who wish we had another choice right now," Hillyer said. "I would say certainly a plurality of Alabamians are unhappy that we face this uncertain and tawdry election when we haven't had time to get to the bottom of things. We don't know what the truth is. This is not a good situation."
Moore has firmly denied that he ever did anything improper with a 14-year-old, saying he never even met the accuser, and has also denied the allegation of sexual assault.
The race had otherwise been seen as a safe bet for Republicans, but some polls show Moore now losing. President Donald Trump has declined so far to call for Moore to step out of the race, possibly delaying the special election.
On Tuesday, Trump said "we don't need a liberal person in there," and noted the allegations have been "totally" denied by Moore.
Ingraham noted that Hillyer, a contributor to National Review and Yellowhammer News, supported Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) in the Republican primary. Moore easily defeated Brooks.
"The Republican voters in Alabama did choose Roy Moore," said Hillyer. "When they chose Roy Moore, they knew that the Left would be coming at him with everything they had ... Whether it was true or not, we knew it was coming."
Hillyer, a "NeverTrump" conservative, said Trump deserves the credit for the booming economy.
"Of course, I'm grateful that Hillary Clinton is not president," said Hillyer. "I never wanted her ... I still remain a critic of Trump personally. I think his tweets are not refreshing. I think they are horrendous. But you mentioned the economy and while I think it's foolish to give him all the credit for the good economy, it would also be absolutely unfair not to give him a significant amount of credit for the economy."
I would also think it not likely, that a lawyer and an ADA would date a teenager if it was illegal at the time.
I agree. It could be “Kay”. And note the “Old Hickory” part is printed but the original is cursive. Such an obvious fake. Moore should be pointing this out every time he speaks. Then simply point out the yearbook proves she lied. Plus her own son in law says she’s a liar. Nothing she says can be believed.
I just noticed it’s signed “Christmas 1977” but the added part shows Moore signed it “2-22-77”. Has no one noticed the two different dates?
Did Laura accept anything good about Moore? She’s been anti-Moore since she started her show at Faux Snooze!
12-22-77
Sounds more like a fantasy she had to be honest.
she said she was a reader of harlquin romance books...yea likely a fairy tale romance made up to impress her friends
Didn’t see the 1.
Note: This is NOT an endorsement for the Never-Trumper.
Worse yet even though these accusations have been solidly refuted. The general public relying on certain venues including talk show hosts are not being told what’s been uncovered.
Bill Cunningham on his Sunday 9 to 12 pm show 11/19 who consistently goes off half cocked never brings up the forged yearbook or the backgrounds on Moore’s accusers but announces he thinks Moore was attracted to teens of consenting age and didn’t do anything illegal.
Ben? Shapiro substituting for Mark Levine 11/22 announced he wouldn’t vote for either if he was voting on the Alabama race even though he admitted he knew about the forgery but dismissed it. .
Here is background on 4 accusers. One works for the perverts that one knows the one who claimed she was 14. But was actually 17 at the time ?

Latest charge : Grad book signature a forgery; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3604591/posts link shows someone named Roy or Ray signed it Moore’s last name was added to it. in a blue colored ink. His legal secretary at the time he was a Circuit Court Judge declared it a forgery because her initials; DA, appear with his signature in that year book. Because she would verify his signature Moore / DA /date only on his court rulings .Which is what that forgery was copied from .http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3605761/posts
It’s been reported that CNN reproduced and showed the page in question in one colored ink; black
And that's exactly what the lying liberal lamestream media whores and their masters the democrats set out to do.
They've been pulling crap like this for decades and it's been called the October Surprise. In this case, special election and all, it's the November surprise. Different month, same tactics.
I trust the good people of Alabama to vote their consciences and elect who they're going to elect.
Once that's done, the U.S. Senate has an obligation to respect the wishes of the voters of Alabama. If they don't then every single Senate seat up in 2018 is going to be a nationalized race.
One America News has done a lengthy piece on Moore digging into the allegations by actually going to Gadsden and interviewing people there - something the MSM used to do when a story was hot.
When Fox News tried and convicted Moore without doing due diligence, I left them. One America News is my go-to now. They cover more real news and do it without all the glamour and glitz. A refreshing change.
There won’t be another election until 2020, this is for a 3-year term.
And yes, Alred is a democrat, a marxists and a leftist too. But all those terms are the same thing leftist= marxist= a democrat= a liberal = a socialist = a communist.
This smear job on Moore is democrats trying to change 3 supreme court nominations stopping Trump's agenda.
Yes and Hannity was calling for Moore to quit.
Do these “conservative” commentators really believe in the cause or are they just out for $$$$$? hmmmm . Do the math.
Remember Levin going after Trump when Trump was running against Hillary?
Hiring the Never Trumper Levin is just further proof that Fox is moving Left.
I havent seen Laura Ingrahams show since its been on because of my boycotting of Fox due to their anti-Moore jihad. It sounds as thought SHE quickly joined that jihad and is, like a good kapo, following her orders to defame Moore. I guess now Ill never bother to watch her show!
