Moore campaign chairman calls Leigh Corfman--woman who says she was molested by Moore at age 14--a "problem child"Corfman, for her part, says that one reason she didnt publicly come forward sooner was because she didnt want her children to have to endure attacks on her character. There is no one here that doesnt know that Im not an angel, Corfman told the Post. As if to prove Corfmans point, Moore campaign chairman Bill Armistead threw a jab at her behavior as a child in an interview with The Weekly Standard on November 29. While trying to cast doubt on Corfmans allegations, he garbled the Breitbart News report and falsely claimed that Corfman wasnt living with her mother at the time she says she privately met Moore. Custody had been given over to her father, Armistead said. Thats what this proceeding was all about. She went to courtthe mother to turn the custody over to the fatherbecause she was a problem child.

(57,404 posts)and Roy Moore was the biggest problem of all. Predators like problem children for a variety of reasons: nobody believes us, we're marginalized by everybody else including at least a big part of our families, and we're automatically accused of everything and when we deny, well we're liars and making excuses. Predators just live for that problem child, we're tainted and they even accuse us when they're caught.
Roy still does not specifically deny anything, only making blanket denials. And smearing children by innuendo. Sounds like the behavior of a predator to me. But hey, what do I know, I'm a problem child.
