Last week, The Washington Post reported that Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore allegedly pursued relationships with teenagers when he was in his 30s and that he allegedly molested a 14-year-old girl. It was the latest in the avalanche of recent sexual misconduct allegations sweeping the nation. And while many believed the claims, other took them with a grain of salt citing the timing as suspicious. On Sunday’s Good Morning America, ABC’s Martha Raddatz used her analysis to express her frustration and contempt for such people. “I don't really know what those voters are waiting for,” she huffed.
ABC’s Chief Global Affairs Correspondent was teed up by her colleague Dan Harris, who prefaced his question saying: “So you have been out on the road and you spoke with the Governor of Ohio, John Kasich, as well as voters in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. Are they following this Moore story and what do they have to say about it?”
“Well, they seem to be definitely following this story. And frankly, they kind of follow what Roy Moore says in some cases,” Raddatz whined. “The Trump voters will say: ‘Look, if he did this, it’s bad. But we don't know whether he did this.’”
Raddatz was dumbfounded that there were people who didn’t believe the allegations. And her contempt was visible as she talked down to them and about their way of thinking:
But I think, generally, you hear, you know, we don't know and it was 40 years ago. Sort of the things that Roy Moore was saying. That “if,” “if” he did that. And I don't know really how you take this further. You've got four women on the record who The Washington Post sought out. They didn't come to The Washington Post. And 30 others who they talked to. So, I don't really know what those voters are waiting for.
ABC’s Raddatz Talks Down to Skeptics of Allegations Against Roy Moore
The hypocrisy was almost unbelievable. Voters couldn’t be skeptical about the allegations against Moore, but her network and the rest of the media could be skeptical, omit, and deny the allegations against their precious Bill Clinton. As the Media Research Center’s Tim Graham wrote back on October 21, the networks had completely ignored the allegations of sexual misconduct and rape that belong to the former President as they recalled past allegations against powerful people.
“It seems like wherever Anita Hill came up in this week’s conversations about Harvey Weinstein, the liberal media kept up that annoying tactic of skipping from Hill’s 1991 allegations directly to Donald Trump’s Access Hollywood remarks,” Graham noted. And during the election, Graham recalled how in 1999 ABC had a blackout of Juanita Broaddrick’s allegation that Clinton had raped her in a Little Rock hotel room. And Raddatz’s ABC colleague Joy Behar decried Clinton’s accusers and nothing more than “tramps.”
And it’s obviously not just ABC that has this problem of telling the truth about Clinton’s sexual misconduct violations, it includes the entire liberal media. For example: In the wake of the Access Hollywood tape in 2016, CBS wanted to draw attention to sexual assault in politics, so instead of reporting on the plethora of allegations against Clinton from multiple women, they dredged up the debunked allegations against Justice Clarence Thomas. And on CNN you get shouted down for daring to even mention the allegations against Clinton on air.
It’s clear that for Raddatz and the rest of the liberal media, they’re the only ones who have a right to be skeptical of claims made against their favored politicians. As for actually calling a spade a spade and lumping Clinton in with the sexual abusers, I don't really know what those journalists are waiting for.

DAN HARRIS: So you have been out on the road and you spoke with the Governor of Ohio, John Kasich, as well as voters in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. Are they following this Moore story and what do they have to say about it?
MARTHA RADDATZ: Well, they seem to be definitely following this story. And frankly, they kind of follow what Roy Moore says in some cases. The Trump voters will say: “Look, if he did this, it’s bad. But we don't know whether he did this.” I mean, there were some who were more definitive about it, saying he should go. But I think, generally, you hear, you know, we don't know and it was 40 years ago. Sort of the things that Roy Moore was saying. That “if,” “if” he did that. And I don't know really how you take this further. You've got four women on the record who The Washington Post sought out. They didn't come to The Washington Post. And 30 others who they talked to. So, I don't really know what those voters are waiting for.

Here’s how the Left fight.
4 women.
3 were 18. No abuse, no harassment, just DATING.
1 was 14. So she says.
But it’s not 1 14 year old girl said so, oh, no.
It’s four-—4—four women. {14 years old.}
And they don’t even have to say the last part to be essentially lying.
Yo Raddatz, you lying liberal skank, “How do you feel about Bill Clinton raping and terrorizing women for decades?”
Donald Trump took the gloves off 90 minutes before Sunday night’s debate against Hillary Clinton, holding a meeting with four ghosts from Bill Clinton’s sexual past – and letting a handful of unsympathetic reporters in to hear them speak.
Trump introduced his coalition of the willing – Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathy Shelton and Paula Jones – in St. Louis as a press pool snapped shutters and reporters shouted questions about a new audio recording of Trump saying vulgar things about women 11 years ago.
Broaddrick, an Arkansas nursing home administrator who has accused Bill Clinton of forcibly raping her when he was the state’s attorney general, said that ‘actions speak louder than words.’
‘Mr. Trump may have said some bad words, but Bill Clinton raped me. And Hillary Clinton threatened me. I don’t think there’s any comparison.’

She was at NPR. So they decided to put her on television. Ugh. She has a mug made for radio.
Raddetz is DISGUSTING herself!! WHO watches this?
Agree! Both are perverts. And many many more of their ilk in Congress. They see the mote in the eye of a single man courting girls with their parents consent, and equate it to the 50 shades of perversion...the log in their own eyes...the sick sexual lives of Condit, Kasich, any Kennedy, and a few former CIA guys, one of whom was President.
Raddatz works for Hillary too?
So-called journalists like Radditz are EXACTLY why liberal media attacks on conservatives are seen for what they are - fake and disinformation.
It’s about a battle in Baghdad in 2004. Considering Raddatz’ political view, no doubt there’ll be a left-leaning slant. I checked out the credits online, and one of the characters is Cindy Sheehan, so there’s that.
ABC is Disney. Disney is not your friend.
I don’t trust the Wapo.
The compost can not be trusted
