this is another improbable fact in leigh korfman's own story that the media has not investigated. i would point out, korfman's father did not live in rainbow city at the time of, this he lived in lower alabama as is borne out by the court documents. john adams once said, facts are stubborn things. whatever may be our wishes, inclinations or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the states of facts and evidence. if the liberal media were half as interested in investigating these accusations against judge roy moore as they are in scaring up 1980s gossip from the model, we would move on. we urge the press to do its job. thank you. >> my name is stan cook. i've known judge moore for many, many years. knowing his history, knowing that he has run five campaigns and 35 years, i would like to point out never has there been a time that his character or his integrity has been questioned in any of those political races. with all of this vetting, why now? four weeks before the election. why has he been attacked so ruthlessly, especially by the media when the evidence and the facts ar

. >> the accuser is named leigh korfman. she said that moore undressed her and started to inappropriately touch her. she accused him of kissing her but said there was no sexual intercourse. the moore campaign which is calling this story from the late 70s false and they suggest it's only coming out now to help the democrat in this race, doug jones. part of the statement says this. this garbage is the very definition of fake news and intentional defamation. we have called a few phone numbers. we have not been able to get in touch with leigh korfman yet. >> shepard: what else are we hearing this afternoon? >> nobody is defending roy moore in the republican party. we have brand new sound a few minutes old from alabama's other senator, richard shelby as well as jeff flake. they're saying that he should stop running if any part of this is true. >> i don't know. it's a devastating nasty story. if the revelations -- if it's true, i don't believe that there would be a place for him in the u.s. senate. >> no, if there's any shed of tr

"washington post" asked for proof of claims that -- proof of moore's claims that leigh korfman wasn't telling the truth. the statement that moore's campaign sent to "the post" says, quote, it is "washington post" is a worthless piece of crap that has gone out of its way to railroad roy moore. there's no need for anyone at the "washington post" to ever reach out to the roy moore campaign again because we will not respond now or in the future. happy thanksgiving. are we living in a world now where, you know, there is nobody who is in this conservative world who is willing to believe what the mainstream press prints because of the atmosphere that the president has created? where are we in this? >> we've seen fairly conservative republican leaders come out and say they do find these stories credible. they've asked roy moore to drop out. now, they haven't been successful in getting him to drop out. certainly there is a war on the media. there is -- the other comment from the roy moore campaign, the forces of evil in washington -- >> presumably is mitch mcconnell. >> and also maybe "the was

a woman named leigh korfman told "the washington post" roy moore approached her outside a courtroom when he was 32 working in that courtroom, she was just 14. he told her mother he would look after her while her mother went inside for a child custody hearing. that's what they were at the courtroom for. he said, oh, you don't want to go in there and hear all that, i'll stay out here with you, her mother told the "post." after getting the 14-year-old's phone number, moore picked korfman up days later, drove her to his house she says, where he told her how pretty she was and kissed her. on a second visit she remembers that moore kissed her, took off her pants and shirt, touched her through her bra and underpants. she says he guided her hand to his underwear and she yanked her hand back. "i wasn't ready for that. i had never put my hand on a man's penis, much less an erect one" she told the post. "the post" talked to two of korfman's childhood friends who both said she told them at the time that she was seeing an older man, one even saying she had identified the man as roy moore. her mother

here many the "washington post" account from a woman named leigh korfman. took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes. he touched her over her bra and underpants, she said, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear. she said i wanted it over with. i wanted out. she remembers thinking, please, just get this over with, whatever it is, just get it over. she asked moore to take her home and moore did. the "washington post" goes on to note this -- aside from corkman, three other women interviewed by the "washington post"'s in recent weeks say moore pursued them between the ages of 16 and 18, and he was in his early 30s. none of the women say moore forced them into any sort of relationship or sexual contact. folks, it's no secret a lot of senate republicans did not want to see roy moore win the gop primary in part of because of his radical views on a host of social issues. but the sheer speed and volume of republicans pressuring him to leave the race right now shows you perhaps how much they fear him and how eager they are to be rid of him even
