For a couple of months the big story has been the sexual exploits of popular and famous people. It even invaded the senatorial election in Alabama….one Roy Moore.
Mr Moore is a religious zealot that got thrown off the Alabama Supreme Court because he would not follow federal law. It seems that a woman has come forward and told the world that he was a pervert…..
I am sure that most everyone knows the story…..The Right wing defended Moore…well he lost and most Right wing blogs puke up the same reports….now it is they are asking what happened to these accusers…..
There is an answer for the babbling buffoons…..
One of the women to have accused Roy Moore of sexual misconduct saw her home burn down this week in a fire authorities are investigating as arson, AL.com reports. “I am devastated, just devastated,” Tina Johnson says. “We have just the clothes on our backs.” The fire started at Johnson’s home in Gadsden, Alabama, on Wednesday morning while she and her husband were at work and their grandson was at school. Neighbors and utility workers called 911, but the fire department was unable to extinguish the flames before Johnson’s home and possessions were destroyed. Her family is currently living out of a motel.
The sheriff’s department says it has spoken to a “suspect of interest” and doesn’t “believe that the fire is in any way related to Roy Moore or allegations made against him.” Instead, Johnson says neighbors saw a man with a history of public intoxication walking around her house prior to and during the fire. “He’s been trouble in the neighborhood for a while,” one neighbor says. In November, Johnson joined a number of women in leveling sexual misconduct allegations against Moore, who was running for US Senate. She said he groped her and made inappropriate comments when she visited his office in 1991, the Washington Post reports. He was married at the time. “I was so humiliated and sickened,” NBC News quotes Johnson as saying of the incident. (Another Moore accuser sued the failed Senate candidate for defamation this week.)
Interesting right?
I post this for all my Right wing brethren that say that once the election was over so was the star quality of the story…..the accusers are still there it is just that they are NO longer headline material for the MSM….
Reblogged this on Die Erste Eslarner Zeitung – Aus und über Eslarn, sowie die bayerisch-tschechische Region!.
We don’t get those ‘continuation’ stories over here, chuq.
Once Moore lost the vote, our news just stopped mentioning him.
Best wishes, Pete.
AS it should be….but here we got sensationalism driving the news cycle…..chuq
