Gadsden locals say Moore's predatory behavior at mall, restaurants not a secret

Roy Moore's penchant for flirting with teen girls was "common knowledge" and "not a big secret" around Gadsden, according to some area residents.

The Senate candidate has denied any wrongdoing in the wake of a report from The Washington Post in which four women accused Moore of inappropriate advances - and in one instance, a sexual encounter - toward them when they were teens and he was in his early 30s.

One of the four women claims she was 14 at the time, making her the only one whose claim would represent a legal violation. Moore has said he never met her. A fifth woman came forward this afternoon.

Moore and other Republican leaders have questioned why it took so long for his accusers, now in their 50s, to come forward publicly.

And yet people who lived in Etowah County during that time have said Moore's flirting with and dating much younger women and girls was no secret.

"These stories have been going around this town for 30 years," said Blake Usry, who grew up in the area and lives in Gadsden. "Nobody could believe they hadn't come out yet."

Usry, a traveling nurse, said he knew several of the girls that Moore tried to flirt with.

"It's not a big secret in this town about Roy Moore," he said. "That's why it's sort of frustrating to watch" the public disbelieve the women who have come forward, he said.

I am not attacking either of you. I just do not think that I t is at all difficult in this day and age to find people who will make false accusations...

Just remember all the blacks who spray paint "ni**er" on a building and the Jews who spray paint swastikas.

And remember Harry Reid proudly proclaiming the effectiveness of "Romney didn't pay taxes".

I remember growing up watching many people claiming they found needles in their Pepsi cans. Went on for a week. People crying on all the news shows. Finally figured out it was all started by one lunatic lier the others copied for tv time.This is all notbing more than political psychological nuclear war. McConnell really loves power.

Who the heck remembers what someone else in their neighborhood was doing 40 years ago ? Either come up with something from the last 15 years or STFU.

That's what they guy quoted in the article said - that 'everyone' has 'known' this for 30 years and they could not believe it hadn't come out yet.

"These stories have been going around this town for 30 years," said Blake Usry, who grew up in the area and lives in Gadsden. "Nobody could believe they hadn't come out yet."

“Soon Alabama is going to send Moore to the Senate to give it an enema because it is full of ... . “
*************************************************************
The Congress needs massive and repeated enemas to clean it OUT. The Congressional excrement and effluvia fill the sewers of DC which, in turn, flows into the Washington Swamp. It all needs a thorough cleansing and sanitizing.

Judge Moore will definitely be one to help that sanitation process along,

So do we not believe allegations against Democrats then? Like the multiple women who accused Bill Clinton of assault without actual physical proof?

Drudge has lost his freakin mind. He is of no help to us out here in the heartland. Yep, mc Connell isn’t about to let that money go to waste.
Do these jerk offs really believe we can’t see them for who they are?? It’s quite an exercise in studying human behavior and if we recover from these entrenched liars, I’m throwing a party.

Someone had commented on the long thread about this newest ‘victim’ that someone there has to be recourse against false claims. You know it can’t be brought forward by a man, the screeching would be deafening, a powerful woman has to step forward and I can’t see who that would be. Jmho

I agree.One of the many little (or maybe not so little) victories that American Marxists have had is to flip the colors.Red has always been the color of danger...and in politics the color of leftist parties.

"The filthy underbelly of the GOPe has been flipped over for all of us to see."

I saw it after volunteering for an election in 10' and I never looked back. BTW it goes for the NRA too, I dropped them like a hot potatoe when I found out they sent money to Harry Reid. Blank all the lobbying organizations, not a dime from me to anyone anymore...

Come on, faker. There was plenty of corroborating evidence against Clinton.

Does FR now allow open trolls? I guess so.

The woman with Gloria Allred said today that Roy Moore ate at the restaurant every day. Moore said he was not familiar with the restaurant. Both cannot be true. I find it hard to believe someone ate at the same restaurant every day.


but she has evidence, Moore's signature in her year book sigh..

Now they’re just stupid lying clowns.

We can not know what happened in any single instance so long ago, but a clear pattern is emerging. Best case this guy is a just a mall rat and not a chicken hawk.

Would Gadsden,by any chance,be a small spot of blue in deep red Alabama?

Nope, very red. Etowah County 73.9% Trump in 2016.

Mass lies... hands up don’t shoot. Saw the whole thing. This is nothing more than “ if you tell the people a lie over and over it will become the truth.” Power corrupts.

I recently read a New Yorker article about a situation/person I know well, and the article was total, 110% fabricated, slanted, bullshit propaganda.

I have no idea about the veracity of the New Yorker article, but generally speaking, it’s a crap publication, just like The Atlantic, which is another place the writer - Charles Bethea - has articles. The Atlantic is also a leftist rag.
