I have no idea if these accusations are true, but I do know McConnell and the rest of the GOPe hate Judge Moore and fear what he represents. Elsewhere I have seen people making some interesting observations: why now? Judge Moore has been active in AL politics for many a year but it is only now these women have come forward? After all this supposedly happened 38 years ago. How is it that the Leftist WaPo was able to stumble across this woman just now? 3 of the 4 women were of legal age when Judge Moore supposedly became involved with them and none claims any improper sexual behavior on his part. So what's the problem? The age difference? John McCain, one of his more self-righteous critics, is 18 years older than his wife Cindy. And?

The timing of these accusations and their curious sourcing suggests more is going on here than meets the eye.

The statement said:

The Judge has been a candidate in four hotly-contested statewide political contests, twice as a gubernatorial candidate and twice as a candidate for chief justice. He has been a three-time candidate for local office, and he has been a national figure in two ground-breaking, judicial fights over religious liberty and traditional marriage.

“After over 40 years of public service, if any of these allegations were true, they surely would have been made public long before now,” the statement continued.

This reminds me of what was done to Clarence Thomas:

Clarence Thomas also stated that, "This is a case in which this sleaze, this dirt, was searched for by staffers of members of this committee. It was then leaked to the media. And this committee and this body validated it and displayed it in prime time over our entire nation." He called the hearing a type of "high tech lynching":[42]

This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment. This is a circus. It's a national disgrace. And from my standpoint, as a black American, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree.[42]

Just substitute Christian for black

Progressives will do any dirty trick they can come up with to squash those who do not agree with their values in politics and the public arena. Here progressives rely on the meme promoted by the MSM and Hollywood of the bible thumping, god fearing hypocrite.

Look at the mileage being gotten out of the allegations of Trump and Russian connection or the 'golden showers' dossier despite the fact the allegations have been proven false

In our brave new world all it takes is the accusation to make someone guilty.

Mittens summarizes all the posts , virtue signaling, and articles going viral.

Senate GOP campaign chair, Cory Gardner of Colorado went a step further:

Senate GOP campaign chair: Moore should be expelled if elected
The statement from Sen. Cory Gardner came after Mitch McConnell said he believed Moore's accusers.

Senate Republicans escalated their calls for embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to leave the race — with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell saying he believes the women who have accused Moore of sexual misconduct and the chair of the GOP’s campaign arm endorsing an effort to expel Moore should he be elected next month.

“I believe the individuals speaking out against Roy Moore spoke with courage and truth, proving he is unfit to serve in the United States Senate and he should not run for office,” said Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. “If he refuses to withdraw and wins, the Senate should vote to expel him, because he does not meet the ethical and moral requirements of the United States Senate."

Speaking to reporters earlier Monday in Louisville, McConnell ramped up his own pressure against Moore by going further than his initial statement on the matter. After the Washington Post reported last week that four women said Moore pursued them as teenagers when he was in his 30s, McConnell said that Moore should leave the race if the allegations were true.

“I think he should step aside,” McConnell said Monday, adding: “I believe the women, yes."

Several other Senate Republicans have since called on Moore to get out of the Dec. 12 election, including Sens. Steve Daines of Montana, Mike Lee of Utah and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana. On Monday, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said he sides with McConnell and that Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.), the appointed senator who currently holds the seat, would be "an excellent alternative."

Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) also announced he was withdrawing his endorsement of Moore, adding that the best course of action is "to leave the final judgment in the hands of Alabama voters."
The most reliable politics newsletter.

"I have now read Mr. Moore’s statement and listened to his radio interview in which he denies the charges," Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) tweeted Monday. "I did not find his denials to be convincing and believe that he should withdraw from the Senate race in Alabama."

But there are no signs the pressure from Washington will sway Moore, the defiant former judge who was twice removed from the state's highest court.

Shortly after McConnell's remarks on Monday, Moore's campaign account tweeted: "The person who should step aside is @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell. He has failed conservatives and must be replaced. #DrainTheSwamp."

Party officials are also exploring whether to pursue a write-in bid to try to retain the Senate seat in the deeply conservative state. Notably, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who kept her own seat through a write-in campaign, has encouraged Strange to consider one.

Meanwhile, a fifth Alabama woman publicly accused Moore of misconduct on Monday afternoon.

Appearing with attorney Gloria Allred at a press conference in New York, Beverly Young Nelson recounted how Moore, now 70, assaulted her when she was a waitress at a restaurant that the then-district attorney of Etowah County frequented.


Woman accuses Moore of assaulting her when she was 16
By GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI

Fighting through tears, Nelson recounted how one night, Moore forced himself on her in his car behind the restaurant in Gadsden.

After she screamed at him to stop, she said, “Instead of stopping, he began squeezing my neck, attempting to force my head onto his crotch. I continued to struggle.”

“I thought he was going to rape me,” Nelson said.

“At some point he gave up,” she continued. “And he then looked at me and he told me, he said, ‘You’re just a child, and I am the district attorney of Etowah County, and if you tell anyone about this, no one will ever believe you.”

After Nelson gave her statement, Allred presented Nelson’s high school yearbook from 1977, carrying a note from Moore, which is signed, “Roy Moore, D.A.” She was 15-years-old at the time. Allred said she had spoken with Nelson’s sister, mother, and husband, who all said they knew about the alleged assault.

Ahead of the press conference, Moore’s campaign chairman Bill Armistead responded: “Gloria Allred is a sensationalist leading a witch hunt, and she is only around to create a spectacle. ... We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again: Judge Moore is an innocent man and has never had any sexual misconduct with anyone.”

Does not meet the moral and ethical requirements ? I guess Judge Moore is not swampy enough.

Roy Moore must be making The Swamp very nervous.

Well hallelujah ... now the women, men, girls, and boys of the US will be safe from the sexual predations of US Senators.


Every U.S. Senator Will Be Required to Undergo Sexual Harassment Training
By CNSNews.com Staff | November 10, 2017 | 3:09 PM EST
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D.-Minn.)

(CNSNews.com) - Every member of the U.S. Senate and all staff members are required to undergo sexual harassment training in the next 60 days and at least once every two years after that under the terms of a resolution that the Senate approved on Thursday evening.

The resolution was sponsored by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D.-Minn.), the ranking member of the Senate Rules Committee, and co-sponsored by 19 others. Among the co-sponsors were Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.-Ky.), Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R.-Iowa), Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D.-Ill.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R.-Texas).

“[T]his resolution will simply require that all Senators and staff receive sexual harassment training, as well as on other forms of harassment, at least once every 2 years—in addition to that, 60 days after it passes,” Klobuchar said on the Senate floor shortly before the resolution was approved.

“What happens if Senators do not receive this training?’ said Klobuchar.
“The American people will know.”

“[A]ll offices will have to certify to the Secretary of the Senate that they and their employees here in Washington, as well as those working in our home states, have, in fact, taken the training and complied with the resolution,” said Klobuchar. “These certifications will be posted online for the public to view.”

“We are all too aware that sexual harassment continues in our workplaces,” she said. “A recent study found that one in four women has been sexually harassed in the workplace and that three-quarters of individuals who have experienced sexual harassment at work have not reported the incidences. Civil service is actually among the top five industries with the highest sexual harassment incidences.

“We know that it will not stop on its own, and we will not be complacent bystanders who expect workplace cultures to change on their own,” she said.

In a written statement, Sen. Grassley said Congress has a duty "to set high standards of conduct."

“By passing this resolution, we take a step to ensure that all who work for the Senate are able to do their job without feeling unsafe or uncomfortable,” said Grassley. “No place of work is immune to the all-too-prevalent scourge of sexual harassment, but we in Congress have a particular duty to set high standards of conduct. In the wake of so many scandals and reports of sexual harassment around the country, it’s critical that we continue do everything we can to prevent it.”

The Senate agreed to the rule without objection.
