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.

The face that would stop Big Ben.
“While reporting a story in Alabama about supporters of Moore’s Senate campaign, a Post reporter heard that Moore allegedly had sought relationships with teenage girls.”
Radditz made a frickin’ fool of herself 11/8/16 crying when the election was called for Trump. It’s so fun watching re-runs of the clueless people and how they carried on that night. Have some pride, you pathetic elitists!
Teddy K killed a woman and the dems LIONIZED him after he died...Why would you applaud a murderer??????
Martha you ask “what the voters are waiting for?” They are waiting foe election day. They can then vote and Alabama will have a new Senator.
On so you were in Ohio and spoke to the Governor of Ohio, empty suit John, and voters both in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Martha the election is in Alabama. Go South young lady, go South.
If he was a Democrat he could run for President and the left wouldn’t bat an eye. They didn’t with Bill or Teddy.
It ain’t workin’ anymore, biotch!
Stupid MSM. They buy the entire BS Russia/Trump collusion story when they know it’s not true and now accept this one about Judge Roy Moore when they know it’s not true as well and pushed them both as fact.
No wonder no one believes or trusts the MSM any longer and haven’t for a long time now.
Add the fact that they went full in for the criminal nominee and her crime family for President and you have a big hot pot of steaming mess.
The claims against Moore, if true, lack the basis for any real crimes. He did not have sex with these women. Some state he gave them liquor before they were the legal age of 19. That may have been actionable for a time decades ago. Today? Give me a break!
From the New York Daily News
Let's touch on another case Rush was talking about on Friday. This individual was a top level Democrat. U. S. Senator Robert Menendez, has a friend that reportedly ran a sex ring. This Democrat from New Jersey may have had paid sex with under-age prostitutes in the Dominican Republic. "Federal prosecutors aren't convinced reports of him having sexual relations with underage hookers aren't true." To put it another way, they aren't convinced he didn't have sex with minors.
The MSM coverage of this issue is very skimpy.
Where is Radditz' demand that Menendez step down. Yep, that face above is strangely missing when it comes to Menendez. In that case it's, well innocent until proven guilty.
Look in the dictionary...this witch’s pic is next to “harridan”, “harpy”, “common scold”, and “bitch”.
She looks like a cadaver.
Thinking about “Raiders of the Lost Ark” after the Ark had been opened (mid face melt).

ABC’s attempt to compete with FoxNews commentators (the women).
Once again proving how Democrat women stack up to more Conservative women.
Lord, she gets uglier every time she tells a lie!
I’m so glad somebody else knows this! I did my Master’s dissertation on Pope. I loved the guy!
Hopefully she will soon stroke out from all her venom!
Is that how they do it nowadays? Buckets of cash delivered by drone? Poor Ron Brown...he missed out on the new technology!
LOL!
