A Little Moore Time!

This modern technology detects pedophiles. Sacha Baron Cohen fools Roy Moore.
Disgraced former Alabama Supreme Court justice Roy Moore is suing Showtime and Sacha Baron Cohen for $95 million after he participated in a mock interview for Who Is America?

Moore is currently running for governor of Alabama under the Constitution Party ticket. A far cry from the days of him being the candidate that personally got a green light from Donald J. Trump.

Moore faced even more embarrassment after he was mocked by the Israeli-British comedian.

The mock interview conducted by Cohen had made Moore look foolish. The comedian took out a handwand that detects "pedophiles." As the entertainer waved it near Moore, it beeped.

Moore was none too happy with the interview and decided to walk out on it.



It was shown on Showtime and it was widely praised.

It was roundly condemned by many on the right as an attempt to embarrass them.

Cohen masquerading as Erran Morad interviewed the former Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate and it quickly went off the rails when he introduced that Israeli Army device to detect pedophiles.
Roy Moore shamed again.
Cohen has been sued before, but he has prevailed in nearly every case, as he has guests sign comprehensive releases against defamation. These releases override any false representations made. In the lawsuit, Moore's attorneys reference a release, but claim it was "obtained through fraud" and thus not valid. Cohen's work also often has a component of social or political commentary, strongly evident in Who Is America?, which provides additional defense.

Most of Cohen’s targets are public figures, who have a higher bar to win a defamation suit. The Supreme Court decision operative here requires actual malice, not merely falsehoods.

Moore was accused by nine women of inappropriate behavior when he was then a popular Gadsden lawyer and city prosecutor. He allegedly had inappropriately touched and kissed a 14 year old girl.
Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) is calling for the delay of Brent Kavanaugh.
Moore denied all allegations.

Donald J. Trump, Sean "Softball" Hannity, David Clarke, Alabama governor Kay Ivey, Steve Bannon and Breitbart threw their support to him despite the Republican Party stripping funding.

Moore would lose to state representative Doug Jones.

Jones would become the first Democrat to win in the deep south in years.

Here's the most saddest concession speech ever. Roy Moore saying to the supporters that "we're not done" when he realized that Jones was called the winner.
