Roy Moore Pens An Open Letter To Sean Hannity

On Tuesday night, Sean Hannity issued an ultimatum. Roy Moore either needs to “fully come up with a satisfactory explanation” for his inconsistencies or drop out of the race.

“You must remove any doubt,” Hannity said. “If you can’t do this, then Judge Roy Moore needs to get out of this race. This country has way too many issues and problems. The American people deserve 100 percent truth and honesty.”

Roy Moore has responded in the form of an open letter. In it, he denies the allegations and says he believes tampering occurred in regards to the yearbook note.

“We are in the process of investigating these false allegations to determine their origin and motivation,” Moore wrote. “For instance, we have documented that the most recent accuser, Beverly Nelson, was a party in a divorce action before me in Etowah County Circuit Court in 1999. No motion was made for me to recuse.”

“In her accusations, Nelson did not mention that I was the judge assigned to her divorce case in 1999, a matter that apparently caused her no distress at a time that was 18 years closer to the alleged assault. Yet 18 years later, while talking before the cameras about the supposed assault, she seemingly could not contain her emotions,” he continued.

“Are we at a stage in American politics in which false allegations can overcome a public record of 40 years, stampede the media and politicians to condemn an innocent man and potentially impact the outcome of an election of national importance?” Moore added.

“I adamantly deny the allegations of Leigh Corfman and Beverly Nelson, did not date underage girls and have taken steps to begin a civil action for defamation. Because of that, at the direction of counsel, I cannot comment further,” he concluded.

Here’s the letter:

Will Sean buy it? We’ll see…

BTW– this just happened.

Dear Mitch McConnell,

Bring. It. On.
