f accused child molestor Roy Moore wins the Alabama Senate seat in two weeks, he may have reason to offer thanks to the most important Democrat in Washington — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
On Sunday’s “Meet the Press” she responded haughtily to the idea that she and her fellow Democrats should cut Rep. John Conyers loose after learning he’d paid off a staffer who accused him of sexual harassment — a story that blew the lid off the existence of a congressional slush fund to settle harassment claims.
She cast doubt on the credibility of the accuser and three women who supported her claim in affidavits because we don’t know their names — even though their names were redacted as part of the settlement.
She praised Conyers for being an “icon” — which, I’ll grant you, is one way of describing an 89-year-old man who has served for a ridiculous 52 years in the House of Representatives, a record that suggests he is less a captain of the ship of state than he is a barnacle permanently attached to its hull.
She said we’re strengthened by “due process” in this country. You cannot judge “just because someone is accused.” This wasn’t a problem for her in many other cases in which sexual misconduct was alleged — just so long as it was being alleged about people she didn’t like.
Pelosi has since backtracked a bit after the firestorm that erupted after her comments. She met one accuser and said she believed her. And she accepted Conyers’ decision to step down as the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee.

Leigh Corfman, Roy Moore Accuser, retained a law firm, before WP obtained their “scoop”. The firm is headed by Edgar Gentle who happens to also be the Treasurer for the Alabama Democrat Party. 100% political hit job. There’s your answer who gave them “victims”.

(By the way, I looked this up and it’s true that the firm representing Corfman is headed by the Alabama Democrat Party treasurer.)
Thanks for the info.
He’s using exactly Democrat talking points when he smears more as a “child molester”. What a disgusting pig he is.
>> If accused child molestor Roy Moore
Go to Hell, Podhoretz, you divisive jackass. And get a spell checker, idiot.
Pelosi is like the gift that keeps on giving... to republicans.
What a sweet elderly lady with dementia. /s
Seriously; not even CNN can let her take a piece of cake and take the rest home.
Okay, maybe CNN and MSNBC can but no one with an ounce of credibility left.
People don’t know the difference between a pedophile and an ephebophile.
NeverTrumpers are driven by their desire to protect the demographic changes they have made to the country through non-enforcement of laws and borders.
They have prevented US from electing a President who would enforce the laws and borders and now that we have they will do anything to keep him from sending home the 30 million people they invited here against the will of the citizens.
Oh my goodness. What is she doing?
“She said we’re strengthened by “due process” in this country. You cannot judge “just because someone is accused.” ‘
A real reporter would have asked, “Does that apply to Roy Moore as well??”
F.Chuck fails again.
I think Moore should go after the fake accusers and those never trumpers who keep peddling it
Oh, that’s so cute, calling him “an accused child molester”
One thing about Pelosi that can’t be denied, she does have a way of getting BOTH feet stuck in her big mouth. What a idiot she is. How the hell did she ever get the position she has held for so long?.... Oh, never mind, she’s a “demodummie”
She is a lunatic .
Poor Miss Oilcan, things just aren’t gong well for her.
These are the astonishing arguments now being made on behalf of senatorial candidate Roy Moore, on the one hand, and Sen. Al Franken, on the other.Buttwipe Podhoretz, last week, spewed the then-current DNC phrase:
Moore is credibly accused...Pelosi upped the ante on Sunday, while weasling around the Conyers fiasco and the Franken fiasco:
What else do you expect from John Podhoretz, accused cannibal and accused child pornographer?
