Internet destroys Breitbart for describing Roy Moores advances on underage girls as being romanticNoor Al-Sibai 09 NOV 2017 AT 14:54 ET
Before the Washington Post broke a story alleging that Alabama Senate hopeful Roy Moore sought relationships with underage girls one as young as 14 Breitbart ran their own story in defense of the judge.
Citing a woman who said she dated Moore when she was 17 and he 34, Breitbart wrote that Moore was being romantic during their relationship, which the woman claims never went beyond kissing. It also cites multiple other teenaged women Moore reportedly dated while in his 30s.
Twitter reacted in disgust to Breitbarts story, which they accused to being published before the Post to run interference for the Alabama Republican.
Breitbart has a pretty good history of supporting people who think its cool to f*ck kids, one user wrote. Milo [Yiannapoulos, whom they fired for similar allegations], Roy Moore, etc.
The same people who blindly believed in Pizzagate are the same ones who are screaming fake news about Roy Moore, another user tweeted.

Then again, they kept Dotard.

(19,204 posts)Republicans are hypocrites. They won't believe a word of it. "It was so long ago. Why are they only coming out about it now?" "Even if it did happen, he's been forgiven by the lord".
They can justify anything as long as it's for one of their own. Old Roy is such a good "christian", he'd never do anything like that!

(11,280 posts)is a clue to their thought pattern. They can't understand that adult homosexuality is an act between consenting adults, and an animal can't give consent. Consent just doesn't register to them as important.

Indeed. Breitbart's most high profile fave, Trump, once told 14-year-old girls, "In a couple of years, I'll be dating you."

Trump and Moore have soooo much in common.

(5,730 posts)We need him on the ballot and let the Repubs sink their money. Then, the week b4, dems blitz Alabama w perp ads.
So, he's essentially dumped by Rep establishment, who never wanted him anyway. Bannon is still pushing yhe women are liars bit.
