Honestly, so many things worth discussing going on, it’s hard to pick one to discuss, but I’ll go with Roy Moore, since in a couple days he’ll either be one of the sleaziest guys to ever win election to the US Senate*, or the guy who managed to had the Dems a Senator in one of the reddest states.

Almost certainly, Project Veritas has been caught red handed trying to get the Washington Post to publish a false story about a woman who was impregnated by Roy Moore. Unfortunately for PV, the Post has some journalistic integrity, did their research, realized this woman was lying, and is now calling out the woman and her likely ties to PV for this.

Not surprised at all to read this, knowing the lengths PV has gone to supposedly fight the biased MSM, when they actually are the ones who are incredibly biased and willing to do unethical things to tarnish the name of respected media organizations.

Quote:A woman who falsely claimed to The Washington Post that Roy Moore, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, impregnated her as a teenager appears to work with an organization that uses deceptive tactics to secretly record conversations in an effort to embarrass its targets.

In a series of interviews over two weeks, the woman shared a dramatic story about an alleged sexual relationship with Moore in 1992 that led to an abortion when she was 15. During the interviews, she repeatedly pressed Post reporters to give their opinions on the effects that her claims could have on Moore's candidacy if she went public.

The Post did not publish an article based on her unsubstantiated account. When Post reporters confronted her with inconsistencies in her story and an Internet posting that raised doubts about her motivations, she insisted that she was not working with any organization that targets journalists.

But on Monday morning, Post reporters saw her walking into the New York offices of Project Veritas, an organization that targets the mainstream news media and left-leaning groups.

This was fairly stunning – not only was it an unethical sting to try and discredit legit journalists, it was also to discredit real victims/accusers for purely political purposes. And that purpose was to get an accused child molester and serial predator elected to the US Senate. On a Christian/family values platform.

Speaking of “Fake News,” Fox tweeted this headline: “Roy Moore accuser admits she forged part of yearbook inscription attributed to Alabama senate candidate.” Problem is, it’s completely false.

I’ll give them credit for somewhat retracting the story, but note that this would seem to imply they just blindly regurgitate stuff from Gateway Pundit and Breitbart without checking.

And Alabama evangelical pastors defending him:

“Wise said he would support Moore even if the allegations were true and the candidate was proved to have sexually molested teenage girls and women.
“There ought to be a statute of limitations on this stuff,” Wise said. “How these gals came up with this, I don’t know. They must have had some sweet dreams somewhere down the line.
“Plus,” he added, “there are some 14-year-olds, who, the way they look, could pass for 20.”

Or that Moore pursued underage women because of their “purity”. Eeeewww. Not creepy at all.

And people wonder why young people are turning away from religion?

Thing is, Moore was “deplorable” even before all this stuff came out. Here he is saying that the last time America was great was in the days of slavery:

He also refers to Native Americans and Asians as “Reds and Yellows”.

This is the man the RNC has endorsed and Trump is campaigning for. (Though only from across the border. Brave move there Donnie.)



*I'm sure there have been plenty of equally sleazy Senators - but his sleaziness is well known *before* the election.
