State Rep. Ed Henry lashed out at Roy Moore’s accusers and Republicans who said the U.S. Senate candidate should back out of the special election in an interview Thursday evening with The Times.
Henry said he believes legal action should be considered against Moore’s accusers, finding their story unbelievable.
“If they believe this man is predatory, they are guilty of allowing him to exist for 40 years. I think someone should prosecute and go after them. You can’t be a victim 40 years later, in my opinion,” Henry said.
The funny thing is, if the accusations are false he should absolutely be suing for slander. However, pretty much no one does it because then you invite people to investigate whether the accusations are true, which this guy obviously does not want to do.
Also, probably not the best case for slander because in Alabama these types of allegations apparently have no effect on a politician’s career or social standing.
