ROY MOORE'S ACCUSER'S PHOTO AND WORKPLACE WERE SPREAD ONLINE BY A FAR-RIGHT CONSPIRACIST

In a bizarre defense of Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, who was accused of sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl, a right-wing conspiracy theorist and media star told his followers to stalk the victim at her workplace on Friday.

Jack Posobiec, a Trump supporter with a large online following, posted a recent Facebook photo of Leigh Corfman, the woman who told The Washington Post that the then-32-year-old Moore tried to bed her in 1979, and told his Twitter followers to target Corfman at her last known place of employment.

The controversial Posobiec rose to prominence by pushing the so-called Pizzagate conspiracy, based around the lie that a Democratic pedophilia ring had been established in the basement of a Washington, D.C.-area pizzeria. That story is believed to be the impetus for a North Carolina man firing off an AR-15 rifle in that pizzeria in late 2016.

The backlash to his post about Corfman was instantaneous, with many on Twitter accusing him of abusing the alleged victim by "doxxing," or releasing private information in the attempt to intimidate someone or urge a stranger to cause that person harm.

1. The Pizzagate a-holes are all solidly behind Moore. I'm not surprised in the least.

"But, BuzzFeed News has learned, the "Rape Melania" sign was not the work of an anti-Trump protester at all. Instead, according to sources, it was the brainchild of a group of Trump supporters led by Jack Posobiec, one of the organizers of the controversial DeploraBall inauguration party and a prominent figure in the pro-Trump internet.

Furthermore, as shown by a series of Posobiec's text messages obtained by BuzzFeed News and confirmed by a source who collaborated with Posobiec, the sign was the culmination of a disinformation campaign by Posobiec and others intended to paint the anti-Trump rallies as violent and out of control."

This is a lay- down civil tort case against Posobiec.
Time for an Alabama trial lawyer to step up and file a lawsuit on her behalf.

There's just too much girth in the opening to be Trump's dick.

If this doesn't result in this guy being banned permanently, then maybe they vast majority of people who didn't support Donnie Short Fingers needs to find a completely different social media platform.

Let Twitter become the Faux News of social media. It will make it much easier to determine who to jail when sanity returns to our country
