TEARS, IDLE TEARS.

One of the latest accusers of Roy Moore is a 62-year-old named Beverly Young Nelson. She tells of a harrowing scene in which she had to fight off Moore's assault in his car when she was 16, When Moore failed in his attack, he threatened that she wouldn't be believed if she told anyone because, as he said, "you are just a child".  Though I sympathize with her lifelong distress, I am disturbed to know that she voted for Trump. This means that while she is tearful about her own past, she couldn't care less about all the women abused or molested by Donald Trump. Did she know about his past? Of course she did! Everyone did. Voting for Trump by Beverly, by anyone, is to excuse his history of molesting women, of grabbing their genitals, of using his power to sexually intimidate. Sorry, Beverly, you were certainly a victim in Moore's car, but you helped make all of us victims in the voting booth.
