Moore threatens lawsuit over story that threatens campaign

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alabama Republican Roy Moore says a lawsuit will be filed over the newspaper report carrying allegations that he had sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl four decades ago and that neither Democrats nor Republicans want to see him win a special Senate election.

While pressure to quit the race four weeks before Election Day intensified from within the Republican Party, Moore assured supporters Sunday night at a Huntsville, Alabama, gym that the Washington Post story was "fake news" and "a desperate attempt to stop my political campaign."

Moore said allegations that he was "involved with a minor child are completely unfalse and untrue and for which they will be sued," drawing a round of applause. The former judge also questioned why such allegations would be leveled for the first time so close to the special election in spite of his decades in public life.

"Why would they come now? Because there are groups that don't want me in the United States Senate," he said, naming the Democratic Party and the Republican establishment and accusing them of working together. He added, "We do not plan to let anybody deter us from this race."

1. Moore sounds more like Trump every day.

McTurtle obviously doesn't want Moore putting his dark smear of excrement on the Republican Senate brand, but he just as obviously doesn't want his slim Senate majority cut by one, especially with Rand Paul in the hospital for an undetermined period of recuperation. I suspect he'll hold his nose and prefer to welcome Moore into his fold rather than stare at Doug Jones across the aisle. I fervently hope he doesn't get his wish.

7. He'll never file that suit

Just like donnie, he thinks the threat alone means anything. Discovery would bury that child molesting piece of crap.
