Scandal-ridden Senate candidate Roy Moore is suing a conservative media outlet for $40 million alleging "fake news," as he runs his second campaign in three years for the same Alabama seat.

The Alabama Republican lost to Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., in a 2017 special election, after facing multiple accusations during the campaign that he had pursued romantic relationships with teenage girls while he was in his 30s. Moore filed the suit against Washington Examiner on Monday.

“Like the people of Alabama, I am sick and tired of ‘fake news’ by media organizations which pretend to print the truth but in reality, are politically and philosophically motivated to distort the true facts for their own ends," he said in a statement. "Unlike some who choose to suffer in silence, I have decided to fight back!”

If the Alabama GOP electorate nominates him in 2020 then the GOP has earned the title of Stupid Party.

Dear Roy:

Yeah, because who in their right mind would rather have a Roy Moore than a Mitt Romney.

Moore would be a sitting US Senator today if not for the GOP.

There was a time when I respected Roy. But his wingnut views (the Bible is the supreme law of the United States taking precedence over statutes and even the US Constitution) and his very dicey personal life have done for that. Roy needs to sit down and be quiet while the adults are talking.

Let me guess ... he's suing for $40 million, and he's begging for donations to help pay his legal fees.

Sometimes I like to see morons like this run for office just so they get their asses kicked.

When you think “Fake News”, the Washington Examiner is not exactly one of the first publications that comes to mind.

I have no problem with Moore. He likes younger women. Look at his wife.

My brother is 64 and his wife is 34.

[ConservativeMind]

I agree, and everyone would be ecstatic over his votes.

And what the hell is with FNC referring to the WE as a “conservative news outlet”? They are conservative compared to the rats at the post sure but who isn’t.

When it came to Roy Moore Mitch McConnell hated him more than he loved these United States.

[bantam]

The Republicans are ALREADY known as the Stupid Party!!!

[DoughtyOne]

It is clear to me he was genuinely looking for a wife. He met with the parents of these women. He wasn’t merely looking for some young action.

He’s been married to a younger woman for a long time. They seem to be getting along just fine.

I’m with you. Who cares?

If Roy Moore was truly serious about advancing the conservative cause, he would have sued the living sh*t out of Gloria Allred.

I used to like Moore, but now I view him as a POS who only cares about attracting attention to himself. Just go away, Roy.

[DoughtyOne]

Seems like we’re seeing a pattern...

Moore would be a sitting US Senator today if not for the GOP.

All too true, sadly.

Roy, time to fade into retirement.

[DoughtyOne]

All you naysayers concerning Moore, what high crime or misdemeanor did he commit?

Nancy, is that you?
