Republican Roy Moore has recently won a defemation case related to false statutory rape accusations. Reminder that Donald Trump said those accusations were "credible" and then Moore lost an US Senate election in the deeply Republican state of Alabama.

I'm the libertarian type

Never a good sign.

It also really undermines the credibility of the Right to make groomers a wedge issue in elections and then back Moore

He definitely was a terrible candidate, and preying on 15-18 girls is very bad. That said, it's rather different from what the left does. This was the (imperfect) norm throughout history. Destroying their bodies is not.
