Roy Moore accuser admits to forging his handwriting and lying about it

The signature in question. The accuser forged the portions in blue ink. Fox News/AP.

Beverly Young Nelson, who accused Senate candidate Roy Moore of assaulting her, has admitted that she forged some of the writing in her yearbook that supposedly proved that she had a relationship with him. Fox News. Nelson admitted to ABC News that she added some of the writing in the yearbook, including a date and other identifying information. Nelson previously said that Moore had written the entire thing. Moore has long denied any relationship with Nelson and has, correctly, called the signature a forgery. 

Boyfriend at the time says she lied.

Employees of the restaurant say she lied.

Customers of the restaurant say she lied.

Her step son says she lied.

Now she herself admits to lying.

Let’s count how many national outlets will ignore the fact that she admits to lying. https://t.co/9D5OYCVORx

My Comment:
This was expected but I am surprised that it came out before Tuesday's election and not after. As it stands right now it looks like all of the credibility for the accusations against Roy Moore have been destroyed. That's not saying much since they weren't all that credible in the first place. Considering that this was one of the only accusations that actually detailed wrongdoing, as opposed to trying to date legal aged teens, it's fair to say that Moore has been vindicated.

It seems very obvious that Roy Moore was a victim of a politically motivated hit job. Why else would the people behind these accusations forge evidence? You would think that if the accusations were real they wouldn't have to forge a signature on a yearbook. Since they did it's very easy now to dismiss all of the accusations against Moore. That's probably not fair but this is what happens when you forge evidence.

Indeed, I never thought the yearbook signature was anything important in the first place. The accusation was that Moore assaulted Nelson, not that he knew her. He did indeed deny knowing her but that doesn't prove that he attacked her. It wasn't evidence of much of anything in the first place.

I also have to point out that people on the right called out the obvious right away after the press conference. It was obvious that the yearbook had been written in two different colors of ink. It was an obvious forgery but the media never followed up on it. The media also didn't question why Nelson's attorney, famed feminist Gloria Allerd, wouldn't turn over the yearbook for forensic analysis. It just goes to show how biased the media is. They didn't want to investigate Allerd and Nelson because they liked them and wanted to believe what they were saying.

This revelation won't likely have an effect on the election. Roy Moore was winning anyways. Most people didn't believe this accusations before this came out and this new proof of maleficence won't change that. Moore's opponent, Doug Jones, has been running a terrible campaign and has been denounced as a racist for an anti-Moore advertisement and even had a deceptive ad banned by Google for implying that voting records are public and that voters could face consequences for voting for Moore. It was very unlikely that he could have won even if the accusations against Moore were 100% true.

Still, this incident could push the election from "kinda close" to "landslide". People are going to be furious at the media for this and the Democratic Party for supporting it. I don't even like Roy Moore that much since he's more of a Christian conservative and I'm not all that religious, but given the attacks against him, if I lived in Alabama I'd be spending the weekend campaigning for him. It's just so disgusting that people lied about him that I will support him even if I don't like him, just to teach the people that did this to him a lesson.

The whole situation against Moore, and Donald Trump as well, has eroded the Democrats credibility on caring about sexual assault. The one thing that everyone agrees on is that the worst thing you can do in a case like this is make up evidence. Doing so not only immunizes the target from all future accusations, it also damages the credibility of real cases. Sooner or later there will be a case blamed on a Republican that is real but won't be believed because of what happened with Moore and Trump. And Democrats have no one to blame but themselves.
