NYC, NY • “I tried fighting him off, while yelling at him to stop, but instead of stopping, he began squeezing my neck attempting to force my head onto his crotch,” Beverly Young Nelson said in a statement she issued at the news conference. She said Republican senatorial candidate Roy Moore warned her that “no one will believe you” if she told anyone about the encounter in his car. This on the heels of having been accused of sexually molesting a 14-year-old girl as well as of having “pursued” at least three other teenagers when he was in his thirties. He has denied these allegations, Republican officials in Alabama have made clear that they would stand with him even if the allegations were true, but today, Republicans in the Senate have called for him to drop out of the campaign.
Sunsara Taylor, a spokesperson for RefuseFascism.org responded to this: “Mike Pence shares Roy Moore’s proven track record of Christian fascist hatred of women, LGBTQ people, and the separation of church and state. Donald Trump has openly boasted about sexual predation not that different than what Roy Moore has been accused of. What do these two things have in common? The cruel and brutal enslavement of women, which is a core element of the fascism the Trump/Pence Regime is rapidly imposing on this country. As such, not only Moore, but also Trump and Pence and their entire regime need to be driven from political power and only the people, rising in our millions can do that. This only makes RefuseFascism.org’s mission to mobilize people into the streets across the country on November 18th, to break the silence and bring the noise and go forward to drive out the Trump/Pence Regime all the more urgent.”
