GOP lawmaker: Moore accusers should have come forward earlier AND not at all.

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/11/alabama-gop-lawmaker-roy-moore-accusers-should-be-prosecuted-for-not-coming-forward-sooner/

“If they believe this man is predatory, they are guilty of allowing him to exist for 40 years,” Henry fumed. “I think someone should prosecute and go after them. You can’t be a victim 40 years later, in my opinion.”

...

“You cannot tell me there hasn’t been an opportunity through the years to make these accusations with as many times as he’s run and been in the news.”

Henry also said the women were “foolish” for coming forward with their accusations and hinted they’d regret “going down this road.”




-----------------

In summary: The women will regret accusing him of pedophilia. Also they should have done it earlier.

Better get your life jacket on, Mr. GOPman, cuz it's just starting! Women are realizing that their personal experiences are not unique. Not by a long shot! Men with power have been abusing that power since the beginning of the patriarchy & women & other victims, are finally joining together & saying, "Enough."

I wonder how many men know other men are predatory & never challenge it, but make sure to keep their wives & daughters away from them? Congressman?
