****BREAKING**** WAPO -TWO MORE WOMAN DETAIL UNWELCOME ADVANCES BY PEDO MOORE AT LOCAL MALL




Gena Richardson says she was a high school senior working in the men’s department of Sears at the Gadsden Mall when a man approached her and introduced himself as Roy Moore.

“He said, ‘You can just call me Roy,’ ” says Richardson, who says this first encounter happened in the fall of 1977, just before or after her 18th birthday, as Moore, then a 30-year-old local attorney, was gaining a reputation for pursuing young women at the mall in Gadsden, Ala. His overtures caused one store manager to tell new hires to “watch out for this guy,” another young woman to complain to her supervisor and Richardson to eventually hide from him when he came in Sears, the women say.

Richardson says Moore — now a candidate for U.S. Senate — asked her where she went to school, and then for her phone number, which she says she declined to give, telling him that her father, a Southern Baptist preacher, would never approve.

He intimidated them and used his position as an implied threat.

If this isn't abuse of power, I don't know what is. His wife is a disgusting POS too.

almost as if it were a sick game. He even called the school while one girl was in class, and asked to take her out of class to speak to her..which the school did...

That is as sick as it comes.

“I’d always say no, I’m dating someone, no, I’m in a relationship,” says Gray, now 62, a retired teacher and a Democrat who supports Moore’s opponent in the Senate race. “I thought he was old at that time. Anyone over 22 was just old.”


A teacher, no less! Maybe she can help persuade some of her fellow Alabamans.

This guy truly is a dirty old man stalking young girls, trying to find the perfect mark. These girls are lucky they stuck together and protected one another. I'm sure there will be more coming forward and I'm sure he continued his sick behavior after he got married.

wouldn't that be obstruction of justice? I know Democrats would question the nominee about whether Trump discussed that with them. Of course, this gang is not afraid of committing perjury. In fact, it seems perjury is a prerequisite to be on the Trump team.

If trump is dumb enough to have a go at his own version of the Saturday Night Massacre, the Congress will either impeach him or lose their Republican Majority. Which do you think Yertle and the Granny-Starver will chose???
McConnell worked waaaaayyy to hard to get the power he has. He ain't gonna give it up, for the sake of Donald J Trump lol...no way in Hell.

...will never impeach. They're terrified of his base who can cost Repugs their seats up and down ticket for the next ten years. They're a vengeful, resentful lot.

Hard to say if they'll lose majority control as a result of a friday night massacre. The base really, truly loves Trump. May take a long time for the counter-electorate to really wake up and show up on election day.

It seems safer to have a weakened Moore in office and weakened Sessions as the AG, because the next one won't be any less racist or interested in the actual laws of the land. He'll go after HRC and fire Mueller if appointed.

Happy and ready to be wrong on this but we better be damn careful with these vipers.
