Republicans, including Trump, support the sex offender Roy Moore

By SJ Otto

The campaign of Roy Moore trying to be elected as a Senator from Alabama, is a contest by one of the most outwardly crooked politicians to run for office in many years. He is an obvious child molester and yet Most of the Republican Party and many of his fellow Alabaman's want to elect him to the Senate.

This guy is ultra-conservative and that includes taking stands on issues of Christian sexual morality.

About 10 women have come forward so far to accuse the 70 year old pervert of sexual assault. That includes rumors and testimony that he hung around malls in his 30s trying and pick up young girls, many of who were said to be under age.

It seems like more and more women are coming foreword to accuse this man of sexual assault. And yet, he retains a base of supporters in Alabama among voters and Republican Party elites. It seems like a Republican can do ANY THING and still get elected.

According to the Huff Post:

A retired Alabama police officer said she and her colleagues were told decades ago to “make sure” Roy Moore “didn’t hang around” high school cheerleaders, and confirmed previous reports that the Republican Senate candidate was banned at the time from a local mall for predatory behavior toward teenage girls.

Many voters support him over his positions on moral issues such as his strongly anti-homosexual, anti-Muslim positions. He has had past ties to neo-Confederates and white nationalist groups.

According to Wikipedia, When Moore's tenure as circuit judge began, he brought his wooden Ten Commandments plaque with him, hanging it on the walls of his courtroom behind his bench. Moore told the Montgomery Advertiser that his intention in hanging the plaque was to fill up the bare space on the courtroom walls and to indicate the importance of the Ten Commandments. He states that it was not his intention to generate controversy; still, as he told the Atlantic, he understood that the potential for controversy was there, but "I wanted to establish the moral foundation of our law."

This is one guy who talks morality out of the side of his mouth, but acts as if those rules are for someone else—certainly not him.

This phony is one of the worst hypocrites the Republican Party has produced in a long time. If he wins this election, it should be a major embarrassment for the Republicans and the normal thinking people in Alabama.

Those who want him elected want so he can help President Trump with his far-far-far-far right agenda which includes a pogrom on the poor, attempting to deprive all poor and lower income workers of any kind of health care or insurance for it.

He also wants to force his far right religious views on the whole of society. This man sees no need for a separation of church and state.

And on top of all of that he is a no good sex offender—a sleazy sexual child predator who may believe in sexual morality, but he sure doesn't behave in a morally justifiable way.

Anyone who supports this man either with financial contributions or just voting for him, is as guilty of sexual assault as he is.

This says allot about the Republican Party, our phony president, the far right in general and the moral flimsiness of the state of this nation. This is one more breakdown of the so called democracy here in the US. Make no mistake about it—our democracy is seriously broken. We will see if the US public can stomach a sex criminal in the senate.
