Internet Drags Roy Moore for Suing Women He Claims Conspired to Accuse Him of Sexual Misconduct
Roy Moore, the failed Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate whose campaign was derailed in part by several women who accused him of inappropriate sexual conduct – including child rape in one case – is suing three of them. Moore and his attorney held a press conference Monday afternoon, alleging the three women engaged in a “conspiracy” to keep him from winning the open Alabama seat.
“”The accusations made against Judge Moore during the US Senate campaign arose from a political conspiracy to destroy his personal reputation and defeat him in the special Senate election for United States Senate,” Moore’s attorney, Melissa Isaak said.

On Twitter, many were only too happy for the chance to once again mock the man who holds the unique distinction of being removed as the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court – twice.
Even an attorney who writes for the right wing website The Federalist couldn’t help but note Moore’s lawsuit claims he has a stellar career with no “hint of scandal.”
Roy Moore’s new complaint takes a rather rosy view of his career. Recall he was kicked off the Supreme Court of Alabama (twice!) for defiance of lawful court orders. pic.twitter.com/alIe0ompVb

He also notes the supposed “conspiracy” includes a man who apparently is gay:

Several on Twitter shared a similar thought:
When Alabama voters banded together to elect Doug Jones and keep Roy Moore out of elected office, that wasn’t a conspiracy: that was democracy. https://t.co/3T2D5Q9xd6

The Alabama special election was a conspiracy.
Those sneaky Democrats really played the long game when they got Roy Moore banned from a mall for being a pedophile 40 years ago.

Failed Senate candidate Roy Moore is suing some of the women who accused him of sexual misconduct, saying they’re part of a conspiracy.
He also complained about media reports that he had 9 accusers, saying: “in fact, only 3 women alleged improper conduct.” pic.twitter.com/q5LZpkB7rv

Roy Moore’s attorney: “For long enough, the judge has taken the high road.”
Everyone: LOL

So, to recap, Roy Moore has filed a lawsuit against three of his accusers, alleging they participated in a conspiracy against him.
Or to put that another way: Please send Roy Moore your donations, dumb people.
