In the final weeks of the U.S. Senate race in Alabama, Breitbart News strained to discredit Leigh Corfman, who accused Republican Roy Moore of sexually touching her when she was 14 and he was 32. The far-right website published non-scoops — Corfman didn't have a phone in her bedroom! Corfman moved in with her father 12 days after meeting Moore! — as if they somehow made her account less believable.

Now, Breitbart editor in chief Alex Marlow tells CNN that he actually did believe Corfman. Here's an excerpt from Oliver Darcy's report:

Marlow also stressed that he was personally uncomfortable with the behavior attributed by The Post to Moore, and noted that he did believe the accusations from Leigh Corfman, who said Moore assaulted her while she was 14 — they were “not perfect,” he said, but had “a lot of credibility.”

Marlow described Moore, whom Breitbart defended relentlessly, as a “weak candidate” and a “uniquely terrible candidate.”

1. Deplorables entire universe unravelled after the Alabama Miracle. Must reset their rodent brains.

So, lie some more and tell the Deplorables the shattering loss was expected and Moore was weak anyway.

How deplorable.

trying to get ahead of it. Screw those guys.

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.
