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.

I’ll really blow your mind, Marty: even if he was proven guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt, I’d vote for him. Better to elect a Republican and have him replaced by a Republican than to ever let a Demonrat take a seat. Politics is not a game. It’s the very future of our children and our country.
Interesting since neither John Kasich nor any voters in Pennsylvania or Ohio are going to have any say in Roy Moore's election.
A male prostitution ring at that! Frank also assured us that all was well with Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mac back in 2004.
The only voters who have anything to say in Roy Roy Moore’s election are the voters in Alabama
Right... john Kasich, who showed up every weekend at Gary Condit’s condo in Georgetown for all kinds of perverse games. When Chandra Levy was killed, the Feebies went into this apartment with the black light technology ...they found so many semen traces that they got exhausted trying to register and catalogue it. Yes, Kasich, you pervert...some of us remember!
The only voters who have anything to say in Roy Roy Moore’s election are the voters in Alabama
Useful idiots like Raddatz is why people’s hate the media.
Soon NatGeo is showing a mini-series, “The Long Road Home”, based on Raddatz’ book. We’d planned to watch it but won’t — don’t want to give her any props.
Bless her heart
If ugly was a brick, she'd be The Great Wall of China!

Ugly carpetbagger says what?
Hey Skank.....decent folks don’t believe a word you say.....if you said the sky was blue and grass was green we would require a second opinion!!!
Her appearance is more disgusting than a pile of horse manure.
I sincerely hope that the good people of Alabama will see through the disgusting and false propaganda media narrative and give Moore a resounding victory. This could be a great victory for Liberty.
. The Long Road Home...from where ? Her idiotic media campaigns against white males?
I shur don't wanna do dat, LOL.
But one more for the road...she's so ugly she looked out the window and got arrested for mooning.
Cheers, Leni
I’m disgusted by Martha Raddatz
She the same as Martha Ratsa$$ ?
So liberal witch, Raddatz, are you disgusted with Joe Biden’s long history of abusing young girls, teenage girls and women of any age?
Time to bring out the obscene pictures of Biden fondling girls/teenage girls and women of all ages!
Hands UnChristian Biden in action:!
