It seems that Roy Moore's accusers have their own little axes to grind. One is a volunteer for Moore's opponent; one has accused three different pastors of three different churches of making unwanted sexual advances toward her. The fourteen year old has been alleged to have actually been seventeen at the time, past the legal age of consent.

CNN spoke to about a dozen Alabamians about the allegations against Moore. Here's how they said they are dealing with the bombshell accusations.
Mike Allison
Mike Allison, pastor of Madison Baptist Church, said he knows Moore as "a man of integrity," he told CNN.
"I don't even believe the allegations. There's lots of fake news going around these days," he said. "They're allegations. How can he even defend himself against 40-year-old allegations? You used to be innocent until proven guilty."
"I support him now more than ever," he said.
Jamie Holcomb
"I've known him my whole life and I've never known him to do anything inappropriate," said the Rev. Jamie Holcomb, of Young's Chapel Congregational Methodist Church.
He said that he'd need to see more proof before he changed his mind.
"I stand behind him 100%, unless there's proof," he said. "If (his accusers) are found to have been assaulted, I'll be the first to condemn it."
"If true, he needs to resign," he added.

Tim Huddleston
Tim Huddleston said he is a Republican who votes Republican.
"If they're true, that's bad (and) he needs to step out of the race, there's no question of that," he said. "The problem you have is all of a sudden -- whether you're Democrat or Republican -- you can't come in 30 days before the election and say here are some unsubstantiated allegations."
"It would take so much research and questioning and lie detector tests and whatever to determine whether there's validity behind it," he said.
Dottie Finch
"At first, I really wasn't sure how I felt about the situation," said Dottie Finch, "but then I look at it this way: I don't have the best past, and to have it be brought up after years of speculation and never anything being said about it, I don't know just because he's trying to prove himself that now people want to come out of the closet and accuse him of things.
"And if it has happened, I believe the good Lord has forgiven him and he has the right to continue to prove himself."
