Alabama ABC Affiliate Can’t Find One Voter Who Believes WaPo Report About Roy Moore in Man-on-the-Street Segment

During a segment that aired on Friday’s broadcast of Birmingham, AL ABC affiliate WBMA 33/40’s 5 p.m. local news, political reporter Lauren Walsh sought out voters in Columbiana, AL to gauge their reactions to the Washington Post report that alleged Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Roy Moore engaged in inappropriate conduct with four teenage girls more than 34 years ago.

None of the respondents according to Walsh told her they believed the Post’s reporting.

“It’s hard to believe the events that transpired yesterday,” Gordon Fluker of nearby Wilsonville, AL said to Walsh about the Washington Post report.

Fluker’s response was the standard according to Walsh.

Not sure if what I saw is the same, but our local ABC affiliate played a segment where several voters said Moore is innocent until proven guilty, what he might have done years ago has no bearing on his candidacy now, etc. etc.

I would like to hope that this sample of voters represents the majority.  I guess we will find out shortly. 

I do believe someone or some entity is behind these sudden accusations.  Instead of running away from Moore, maybe his own party should investigate that possibility. 

Unless it's his own party that wants to force Moore out and let their BFFs, the Dems, take that senate seat.

I LOVE it!

I could care less what anyone here says or thinks about Roy Moore!  All I care about is what the voters of Alabama think!  And I think those red hill hicks from fly over Alabama are a hell of a lot smarter than many give them credit for!

Well glad you asked... most of us from Alabama are taking this slow... digesting it... and right now not finding it all that believable. Sorta judging what is said and comparing it to "fruits" to see if it meshes.

It is too early to know, but looks like some of these women have an axe to grind....

Plus, they are showing a lot more decency and down home morality than the politicians who have accepted this bizarre story without question.

Not to mention so-called conservatives on this board.

I find it a bit appalling that these strange stories have been taken so seriously.

Now, I'm really hoping Moore ekes out  a win.

That photo alone should have made people think twice about the story.

It's a bit more than he said, she said.

The Washington Post story which revealed the allegations involves interviews with more than 30 people, court records which backed up key details from the accounts and four women who independently volunteered their stories.” Saying “if these allegations are true” begs the question of what more evidence the elected official would need to make a determination.

Even if it is not illegal, Moore does not "dispute" he went out with teenage girls, only that he doesn't remember it. At the least, I believe he loses his moral authority that he has often used. This is a real trainwreck. Their evidence is nothing to sneeze at.  It may all be legal but it's very questionable all the same.

I went out with teenage girls too while in my 20s... Lots of girls dated older guys.... especially 30-40 years ago (in Alabama). Trying to find a girl your age wasn't that easy. I always tried to act the gentleman, and I think that actually ticked some of them off. I was looking for a good sweet girl of good moral code... it didn't work out well until later in my late twenties I met a sweet 19 y/o girl and married her a few years later. Lord I hope I wasn't too much a pervert.

Roy Moore graduated from West Point at a time when that actually meant something!  HE knows a thing or two about HONOR!

This is funny. Voters are disregarding an MSM shit story because they have no credibility any more.

I think there is enough time before the election that voters will see through this set up.

Trying to conflate dating young women of age after serving in the military with groping an underage girl is a good indicator that there isn't any truth to this.
