This is so disgusting
Donald Trump backs Roy Moore at Florida rally and casts doubt on alleged victim
Roy Moore supporters cry forgery after accuser says she added notes to signature
Wrote this letter to the editor to my local paper. Others in our FB group will hopefully comment and upvote. Are others writing to local papers? We should be putting articles out where people outside the progressive bubble will see them, and then amplifying them by upvoting and commenting. Is there a place where we cooperate to do that?

Beverly Young Nelson, who voted for Donald Trump, said that Roy Moore sexually assaulted her at the age of 16 and then said " You’re just a child...I am the district attorney of Etowah County and if you tell anyone about this no one will ever believe you." She has Moore's signature in her high school yearbook as corroborating evidence.
Now, because she noted down the time and location underneath her yearbook entry, Trump is using the power of the presidency to discredit her and tell voters in Alabama, to tell people she knows in Alabama, not to believe her. He knows nothing of the truth of her words, but he's willing to throw this woman under the bus because he wants a republican to win a Senate seat. Allegations should be investigated, some may be true and some not - but to discredit this woman based on politics, is disgusting. More than that, its galvanizing. Thank you to everyone who has been taking action, and we need to do more, because we don't want to be a country where "No one will ever believe you" is true.
