    What a silly little game of "gotcha."

    He was speaking colloquially.

    It's not a story.

    How much do you want to bet that "Now" they will have an issue with using "many on both sides"?

    That's the *point*. He's flipping a match into a powder keg for for absolutely no reason other than to show he's a cool guy who can get away with flipping matches.

    Problem is that like 1,884,000 of those views were by @YankeeFan alone.

    Be careful what you wish for.

    Don't believe Roy Moore's accusers? Then listen to Moore


    "Specifically Moore's account of how he met his now-wife, Kayla Moore.

    First, read his book. In it, Moore describes how he met his wife at a Christmas party hosted by friends. He would have been 37. She was 23.

    "Many years before, I had attended a dance recital at Gadsden State Junior College," Moore wrote. "I remembered one of the special dances performed by a young woman whose first and last names began with the letter 'K.' It was something I had never forgotten. Could that young woman have been Kayla Kisor?"

    Moore later determined that it was.

    "Long afterward, I would learn that Kayla had, in fact, performed a special dance routine at Gadsden State years before," he wrote.

    Take a second to think about what's being said here. Moore first took notice of Kayla at a dance recital?

    Perhaps you're wondering what "many years" means, and I wondered that too. Luckily, Moore again has cleared that up for us.

    In an interview Moore gave earlier this year, he gave a similar account, but for one detail.

    "It was, oh gosh, eight years later, or something, I met her," Moore said. "And when she told me her name, I remembered 'K. K.,' and I said, 'Haven't I met you before?'"

    It's a simple matter of subtraction. When Roy Moore first took notice of Kayla she would have been as young as 15.

    There's a little fuzziness, to be sure, in the timeline. There's the "or something" Moore fudges with in the interview. Eight years before could have been slightly too early to put Moore in Gadsden, he started work as an deputy district attorney there in 1977.

    So maybe she was 15, or maybe she was 16. But still, here is a grown man at about 30 years old attending a girls' dance recital, and doing what exactly?

    This would have been 1976 or 1977. (My best guess is the latter.)

    It was in 1977, Wendy Miller says, when Moore first approached her at the Gadsden Mall, where she was working as a Santa's helper. She was 14 at the time.

    It was in 1977, Beverly Young Nelson says, when Moore assaulted her behind the Old Hickory House restaurant, where she worked as a waitress. She was 16 at the time.

    It was in 1977, Gina Richardson says, when Moore called her at her high school to ask her on a date, a date in which she says he forcefully kissed and left her scared of him. She was 18 at the time.

    Is it too much to believe that Roy Moore wasn't praying for women then but preying on women?

    Is it too much to believe these women?

    If so, then you don't have to. You just have to believe Roy Moore.

    Nevermind, I had deleted that post, I do not know how but it got attached to my next post to someone else.
