I don't know why you're surprised? I never said I live in Appalachia. I'm in central Virginia, in a rural farming community. I'm one minute from a state highway and twelve from a fairly large (by my standards---80K) city. It's redneck country, nevertheless.
@CatherineofAragon As a point of order, I didn't suppose you were from Appalachia - I merely said that areas in Appalachia, the Ozarks, and the big swamps are more likely to be like here (not merely rural, but wild), as in past experience, I have found folks from there to be more akin in thinking - And I am finding out that's a special set, and that rednecks ain't rednecks wherever you go after all.
Nor Conservatives. I had always thought 'innocent until proven guilty' to be foundational in Christian and Conservative thought. Evidently I am mistaken. And that is sad.
We have a lot more than hearsay, but regardless, I don't think he has any character to be destroyed. The more I read about him, the more convinced I am that he's a charlatan and a liar, just like Trump.
I posted this on another thread:

"and despite denials by Moore, the former Alabama Chief Justice had been receiving regular compensation from the nonprofit.
[P]rivately, Moore had arranged to receive a salary of $180,000 a year for part-time work at the Foundation for Moral Law, internal charity documents show," the Post reported. "He collected more than $1 million as president from 2007 to 2012, compensation that far surpassed what the group disclosed in its public tax filings most of those years."
And that's in addition to salary his wife, Kayla Moore, drew after she took over as the nonprofit's executive director, and also money paid to two of the Moores' children."
EDIT: I didn't post it on another thread, I posted it on this one. I can't keep track of these damn things. I'm going for a walk.
I saw it long ago, with a reasonable reply from Moore. I will try to track that down for you, but it will be a while. I am in the middle of things.
As to the rest, nothing. Not a whiff of actual evidence. None.
