Roy Moore can’t seem to just go away
Roy Moore is a name that needs no introduction. He was extensively covered during the Alabama Special Election in 2017, not only because he was a reactionary, theocratic Republican, but because he was also an alleged child predator. Many women came forward claiming that Moore had made advances on them during their high school years, with some going so far as to accuse him of molestation and attempted rape.
Despite these allegations, and even being distanced from some in the GOP, Moore stayed in the race. When his opponent, Doug Jones, won as a longshot, Moore threw a tantrum and refused to concede, but the people of Alabama had spoken.

Now, Moore is back in the public spotlight, with a bit of karma thrown in for good measure. It turns out that fighting against those accusations required a lot of money: legal fees that Moore is unable to pay. And in true Roy Moore fashion, he has made a public plea for donations in an unhinged Facebook rant:
“I have lawyers who want to help but they are not without cost and besides their fees, legal expenses could run over $100,000. I have had to establish a legal defense fund, anything you give will be appreciated.”
“My resources have been depleted and I have struggled to make ends meet. I have had to establish a legal-defense fund, anything you give will be appreciated.”

As readers who lived through the Special Election media cycle will remember, Moore has a lot of notoriety outside of the pedophilia accusations. He is also vehemently anti-LGBT and believes in conspiracy theories that would impress Alex Jones.
The rant includes direct appeals to the radical Christian Right, claiming that the liberal media “are doing everything they can” to stop him, and that;
“gays, lesbians, and transgenders have joined forces with those who believe in abortion, sodomy, and destruction of all that we hold dear,“
We could have embedded the Moore post, but really, why send that creep any traffic? If you really insist, you can see the full rant HERE.
