41. "IF these allegations are true" is the most important part of the statement

Thu Nov 9, 2017, 02:56 PM

Nov 2017

This happened 45+ years ago, so there's no evidence or any criminality attached. So, of COURSE, Roy Moore is going to deny this happened, he doesn't know anything, doesn't know her, and would never do anything like this.

I'm kinda happy, the Repub party isn't going to support him fully, and it's a prime pick up chance for us. And we'll have the seat for 6 years, and there's nothing they can do about it.
