Roy Moore seeking money for fight against female accuser

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Jan 25, 2018, 2:26 PM ET

Failed Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore is raising money to pay legal bills stemming from a lawsuit by a woman who accused him of sexual misconduct.

The Moore campaign sent a fundraising email to supporters Wednesday asking for donations to pay his legal expenses related to a suit filed earlier this month by Leigh Corfman.

The email claims Moore has "very minimal" resources after his losing Republican campaign against Democrat Doug Jones. And it says Moore needs as much as $250,000 for a court fight.

Corfman is among several women who said Moore pursued them sexually decades ago when they were teens and he was in his 30s.

She filed suit after the election, claiming Moore and his campaign defamed her by claiming she was a liar and immoral.

I hope Corfman hangs him out to dry!

Moore is making an jackass out of himself too, for asking others to pay for his crime...disgusting...

Only an idiot would make a contribution to Moore to help him defend this lawsuit. Doug Jones was able out spend Moore by a good amount because most GOP donors are not willing to throw good money after bad money.

Of course, given the stupidity of deplorables, I would not be surprised to see a great deal of money raised by Moore

Don't you think that the Lord will vindicate the righteous? Or are you more worried that that's just what's going to happen?

for years. Recent events might finally force him do some actual work for a living.
