Judge Roy Moore issues passionate statement calls for WaPo to ‘tell the truth’
Multiple news outlets have reported (here, here and here) that one of the women Deborah Wesson Gibson, a.k.a. Debbie Gibson, mentioned in a Washington Post story, has worked for the DNC, supported Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden and campaigns for Judge Moore’s opponent.
Activist Mommy, who originally broke the story about Deborah Wesson Gibson, in a column titled “Roy Moore Releases Statement on Smear Campaign: ‘I Urge Everyone to Tell the Truth’” writes:
The outrageous allegations of sexual misconduct made against Judge Roy Moore this week are the leading story of the day. We have just received a new statement from Moore on this ruthless smear campaign.
[ … ]
These certainly sound like the words of an innocent man. He clearly understands that it is no small matter to belittle the story of a woman who claims to have experienced sexual abuse. That being said, he has every right to defend himself against these baseless claims.
Please keep the Moore family in prayer during this trying time!
Here is Judge Roy Moore’s full statement as originally published in Activist Mommy:
Yesterday, I made a statement that the allegations described in a Washington Post article against me about sexual impropriety were false.
It has been a tough 24 hours because my wife and I were blindsided by an article based on a lie supported by innuendo.
It seems that in the political arena, to say that something is not true is simply not good enough.
So let me be clear.
I have never provided alcohol to minors, and I have never engaged in sexual misconduct. As a father of a daughter and a grandfather of five granddaughters, I condemn the actions of any man who engages in sexual misconduct not just against minors but against any woman.
I also believe that any person who has been abused should feel the liberty to come forward and seek protection.
I know that a lot of people wonder why this story was written. Why would women say these things if they are not true? I can’t fully answer that because as much as I have disagreed vehemently on political issues with many people over the years, I cannot understand the mentality of using such a dangerous lie to try to personally destroy someone.
As a former Judge and administer of the law, I take the protection of our innocent as one of my most sacred callings. False allegations are gravely serious and will have a profound consequence on those who are truly harassed or molested.
I strongly urge the Washington Post, and everyone involved, to tell the truth.
That is all we can do, and I trust that the people of Alabama, who know my record after 40 years of public service, will vouch for my character and commitment to the rule of law.
Similar claims were made against President Donald J. Trump during the presidential primary. The Huffington Post reported:
During his 2016 campaign, Trump dismissed allegations of sexual misconduct against himself from more than a dozen women and threatened to sue some of his accusers. He claimed that a 2005 tape of him bragging about sexual assault, which was released last fall, was “locker room talk.”
CNN’s Doug Criss in a column titled “The (incomplete) list of powerful men accused of sexual harassment after Harvey Weinstein” lists former President George H.W. Bush, who has been accused by three women of being touched inappropriately.
Roy Moore is a devout Christian who is pro-life, pro-religious freedom, pro-Second Amendment and believes that marriage is between one man and one woman. He is a threat to both the Republican establishment and Democrat Party. As John Michael Chambers wrote, “The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s fear.” The media, Washington, D.C. elites and many others fear the election of Roy Moore to the U.S. Senate.

But it’s interesting, the Bezos-Amazon-Washington Post that dropped that dime on Donald Trump, is the same Bezos-Amazon-Washington Post that dropped the dime this afternoon on Judge Roy Moore. Now is that a coincidence? That’s what I mean when I say opposition party, right? It’s purely part of the apparatus of the Democratic Party. They don’t make any bones about it. By the way, I don’t mind it. I’ll call them out every day.
Total BS. If any of it were true, then why did these so-called victims not come forward 40 years from now? Besides the DNC, Mitch McConnell has his hands in this as he is clearly afraid of Roy Moore.
