Doug Jones Puts Roy Moore Accusers in New Campaign Ad

Source: The Daily Beast


33 minutes ago

Doug Jones, the Democrat running against Roy Moore in Alabama, released a new campaign ad on Wednesday that features the nine women who have accused Moore of sexual misconduct “They were girls when Roy Moore immorally pursued them. Now they are women, witnesses to us all of his disturbing conduct. Will we make their abuser a U.S. senator?” the narrator says as photos of the young girls appear on-screen. Jones had previously declined to go all-in on to politically capitalize on the scandal, but his campaign has highlighted the issue more in recent days. On Tuesday, President Trump implicitly offered his support for Moore, disparaging Jones as a “weak” candidate and emphasizing that the alleged incidents occurred forty years ago.

You can’t just give voters a reason not to vote for Roy Moore, you have to give them a reason to vote for Doug Jones.

Don't ask them to see anything positive about who they seem to think is a liberal sissy democrat as evidenced by the feedback on daily news.

Don't worry about Jones, the only way Moore will lose the election is if less GOP(Grand Old Pedies) voters come out to vote in this special election. I am thinking more of them every day are deciding not to vote and we got almost 3 weeks.

I am not from Alabama but I am thinking if Moore wins that win is a death nail in the GOPS coffin. Either way this Roy Moore fiasco is knocking a leg out from under the GOP.

time will tell

Namely, because it's a crime for a grown man stalk, molest, and/or assault teenage girls.

It's the attitude of "Nobody's gonna tell ME what to do!"--cutting off their heads to spite their bodies!

This one is effective at driving home its chosen point - which is probably the only thing that can keep Moore from winning.
