One of Roy Moore’s accusers is planning on suing him for defamation — and anyone else who defends him

As pundits like Fox News Sean Hannity rush to defend Alabamas GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore against allegations that he had inappropriate sexual relationships with teens when he was in his 30s, the lawyer of one of Moores accusers plans on fighting back.

Josh Moon of the Alabama Political Reporter tweeted that Paula Cobia, who represents Gloria Deason, a woman who said Moore dated her when she was 18 and he 32, intends on filing defamation suits against Moore and his supporters.




In the days since accusations against Moore have com to light, Cobia has spoken out about the right-wing backlash to the accusations, which came amid a spate of sexual assault, abuse and harassment allegations against powerful men in the entertainment industry and politics.

Media, do your damn jobs! Do not help Steve Bannon and Roy Moore get away with mounting smear and disinformation campaigns against these 4 brave women [sic] who are guilty of nothing more than telling the truth, Cobia wrote in a Facebook post on Monday.

Just like Trump wouldn't. Discovery would kill them. Good for this lady, suing for defamation. Breitbart should be shut down.

It is just campaign PR stunt. If Moore wins, he won't sue.

If he loses, he would have to prove that their actions were false and caused him to lose an election. I don't know how he would do that. Sometimes candidates can sue over ballot access, but I haven't heard of a candidate suing because of stuff a newspaper said.

Like you didn’t during the campaign. Rosie O’Donnell is dead right on this one.
