GOP Senate Candidate Roy Moore Threatens to Sue Washington Post

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore said Sunday that he planned to sue The Washington Post over a report that he pursued teenage girls, including a 14-year-old, when he was an assistant prosecutor in his 30s.

At a Christian Citizen Task Force forum here, Moore said the newspaper published false allegations — "for which they will be sued."

He provided no details about what type of suit he planned to file or when he planned to file it.

Over the last three days, Moore has sought to undermine the credibility of his accusers, saying he planned to provide unspecified "revelations about the motivations and context" of the allegations. On Sunday, Moore said he was uncovering more background on the claims.

Seriously that 14 yr. old was the subject of a child custody dispute sitting with her mom outside the courtroom. He told her mom he'd look after her so she could go inside the court room by herself. If true, that's a predator.

When he threatens to sue it lends doubt in some people's minds. After all, they figure, he wouldn't be able to sue if it were true, so he must have something.

Then he just never gets around to filing the suit until people forget.

EVERY person who wanted to vote for him last month will still vote for him NO matter what.

NO matter what.

Many new voters will come along as well, for him.

Our problem is so much bigger than we realize
