Never been a Roy Moore fan but obviously if allegations alone were disqualifying then anyone could just sling mud to get rid of a candidate.
You've described precisely what is going on here. And the Left and disgraced RINOs such as John McCain (who is, for the sake of the Republic, rapidly approaching his death from disease) are watching to see how well their latest tactic to regain power will work out.
Former Senator Barbara Boxer used the same tactic to take out Bruch Hershonson in a close Senate race about 18 years ago. She accused him of visiting porn shops three days before the election. How come these “allegations” against Moore are coming up 40 years after the fact and so close to the runoff election?!! People don’t like Moore because he is conservative and won’t go along with Mitch McConnell.
