I don’t expect people to love Moore. I do expect them to be fair to him. As long as GOP collapse under the “seriousness of the charge” rather than the reality of it they are setting themselves up to be blown out of the water when ever the opposition decides to go nuclear. If there was clear evidence that Moore was molesting kids I’d be the first to jump ship but I will not just abandon a candidate because some woman or a group of women from multiple decades ago crop up with wild accusations that can not be proven.
The Moore case has all the hallmarks of a smear based not on reality but on a politically motivated attempt to destroy a good man whose only crime is make many enemies both politically and as a judge. Criminals have no qualms about lying and hes put many people behind bars and in many cases just ruled against others in the cases of divorce, child custody etc.
Three of his accusers have known motive based on their interactions in court with Moore. Young Nelson in particular who also has a yearbook that she will not turn over for a simple test to prove the signature in it is Moore’s or the ink is at least genuinely 40 years old.
The damning accusation of involvement with the 14 year old has many inconsistencies related to the time line and court record from the time so many that I suspect the woman making has a mental health condition stemming from her bad family life. I believe she met Moore at the courthouse and he was kind to her and made her feel special but I don’t believe anything beyond that. I think she fixated on him and may even blame him for NOT rescuing her. All I know is that a woman who doesn’t know if she had a phone in her room or not and confuses being picked up around a corner with a location that would’ve been several miles away is not reliable. I suspect if this were really taken to court Corfman would be found to be a pathological liar. People with her type of background tend to have that problem. My wife and her sister grew up in a bad family and my wife’s sister falsely accused her step father of sex abuse because she hated him.
The media owes everyone a full picture of the accuser but of course even now they refuse and constantly repeat debunked claims. The Nytimes did report that the claim Moore was banned from the local Mall and YMCA were false but even now there are GOP that latch onto that disproven lie and the fact that it even exists suggests an even bigger conspiracy targeting Moore. I think Moore is right I guarantee many of those who are targeting him are doing it solely over his positions against ssm and abortion.
