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.
ABCs Raddatz Talks Down to Skeptics of Allegations Against Roy Moore
The hypocrisy was almost unbelievable. Voters couldnt 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 Centers 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 weeks conversations about Harvey Weinstein, the liberal media kept up that annoying tactic of skipping from Hills 1991 allegations directly to Donald Trumps Access Hollywood remarks, Graham noted. And during the election, Graham recalled how in 1999 ABC had a blackout of Juanita Broaddricks allegation that Clinton had raped her in a Little Rock hotel room. And Raddatzs ABC colleague Joy Behar decried Clintons accusers and nothing more than tramps.
And its obviously not just ABC that has this problem of telling the truth about Clintons 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.
Its clear that for Raddatz and the rest of the liberal media, theyre 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, its 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.

The accuser’s story is already falling apart but this idiot continues to double-down on the story. She’s probably more mad because they can not manipulate Americans like they used to.
Also, if you tell a lie long enough, they are still hoping people will believe it. Sorry Matha, the enemedia has cried wolf way too many times and the American people are not having any more of it.
MAGA!

Remarkably, some FReepers talk the same way.
>>So, I don’t really know what those voters are waiting for.
They are waiting for election day to vote for him because we don’t play the one-sided Alinsky game that you Progs count on. Our offense is on the field now, bitches!
I hope the harpy sees this post...
Judge Moore for Senate!

After her unbridled but misplaced support for the UVA rape accuser, the victims of the anti-Black hate crimes who turn out to have committed the crime themselves, the Muslim women who falsely claim assaults by Christians, and all the race card-players, did anyone expect anything better from her?
Get out of the NYC bubble Raddical.
Wonder if the accuser received a large Amazon delivery?
He probably never asked her out.
Murky rada$$
The Grub-Street Journal, published from January 8, 1730 to 1738, was a satire on popular journalism and hack-writing as it was conducted in Grub Street in London. It was largely edited by Richard Russell and the botanist John Martyn. While he disclaimed it, Alexander Pope was one of its contributors, continuing his satire which he had started with The Dunciad
After its end, The Literary Courier of Gruber Street succeeded it for a few months.[
Is it me or will we learn in a few days - Moore predicts this too - that Bob Menendez flipped on half the swamp?
I don’t get it. Bill Clinton raped, and that’s OK. Barney Frank ran a male prostitution enterprise out of his home, and that’s OK. Teddy Kennedy killed a young woman, and that’s OK. Chris Dodd and Teddy Kennedy participated in “waitress sandwiches”, and that’s OK. The list goes on and on.
But some floozie conjures up a story that even her own mother refutes, and that’t totally different. Martha is outraged.
Do you think they don’t have a clue who we really are, or are they just that dumb?
The Raddatz breakdown -

Always good for a laugh.
She’s an obvious tool operating in an echo chamber.
liberal: “Why don’t you believe Moore’s accusers?!”
me: “Paula Jones?”
liberal: “What? Why would these women lie about what Moore did?”
me: “Kathleen Willey?”
liberal: “You’re obviously a misogynist!”
me: “Juanita Broaddrick.”
liberal: “You’re impossible to reason with!”
WJC: “You better put some ice on on that...”
More objectivity from the MSM. She wrote and/or produced a special on tv last week. Avoided it when I saw her name. Propaganda.
Raddatz was dumbfounded that there were people who didnt believe the allegations.
Oh man.... Myers’s Rum and Pepsi, all over my laptop. I’m still laughing!
That prune faced perpetually pathetic looking hag is always upset about something.
Perhaps she should stay home.
Why is it, only, Republicans, especially conservative Republicans, who might be suspect to such crimes? When will this ongoing political double standard, actually and officially, end?
Nobody would get hit by an oncoming train either.
