After spending weeks publishing articles meant to discredit Roy Moore’s multiple accusers, Breitbart’s editor-in-chief admitted that he believed at least one of them.

As The Washington Post noted on Thursday, a tell-all-interview between CNN’s Oliver Darcy and Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow reveals the right-wing journalist’s personal thoughts on the messy Alabama Senate race.

Though Marlow thought Corfman’s allegation that Moore sexually assaulted her when she was 14 were “not perfect,” he thought they had “a lot of credibility.”

The editor-in-chief also admitted that Breitbart pushed articles discrediting the accusers (including, as the Post noted, “non-scoops” about Corfman not having a phone in her bedroom and moving in with her father soon after meeting Moore) in part to undermine similar allegations against President Donald Trump.

Does Ms. Corfman have any standing to sue those assholes for slander? Seems like a big fat hefty settlement would go a long ways to putting an end to this bullshit.

The guy sure knows how to play the game. Why would anyone believe a Breitbart story, ever?

Other than he is suggesting that her claims had a wee bit of merited victim blaming. "I mean common, she deserves a little breitbart bashing, am I right?!" The rest are all liars though....

This guy can go f himself right in the ear. He is a horrible person, full stop.
