I thought America was innocent until proven guilty.

If the accusations are credible, and they may be, then moore should be charged and prosecuted. Republicans are supporting Moore because the Democrat Jones supports killing the unborn, gun confiscation and further erosion of civil liberties. Furthermore, Moore has been active in Alabama politics for decades was elected to the state supreme court several times and has run for governor several times and never a whisper of scandal was breathed. Then when the elites lose the presidency while running the most immoral, unethical and demonstrable felonist candidate in American history and praise her as the best candidate ever then they and the media cry alligator tears. Even Jimmy Carter says that the vitriol against the current president is unprecedented and unfair. When 98 percent of all coverage of one political party is negative and those writing and editing the stories are blatantly biased in favor of the opposition it's hard to believe their credibility. Mitt Romey was lambasted as a horrible individual, and look at the filth flung at the Virginia Republican in the governor's race. And now that the balance of power hangs so narrowly in the Senate it does seem suspiciously convenient that the Democrats have no policies to run on except 40-year-old accusations that are completely new to Alabama voters. The whole situation smells of the "Cry Wolf Too many Times" phenomena. The whole thing is sad.

Jones hasn’t said he supports any of the things you claim. It’s silly to exaggerate that 98% of coverage is negative but it’s certainly not hard to see the coverage of republicans’ policies being scrutinized since they are largely bad policies and unpopular in many cases. The GOP is stuck in the 20th century, working on positions that are recycled and usually didn’t work. Although the allegations against Moore mostly happened many years ago, that doesn’t make them any less credible. Our culture has largely shunned those that came forward in the past against powerful men. The culture is changing and that’s why you’re seeing these allegations against so many blowing up. I’m certain that it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I do enjoy a rightwinger going all snowflake on social media though. “They’re picking on us republicans”. 😢
