After spending weeks publishing articles meant to discredit Roy Moores multiple accusers, Breitbarts editor-in-chief admitted that he believed at least one of them.
As The Washington Post noted on Thursday, a tell-all-interview between CNNs Oliver Darcy and Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow reveals the right-wing journalists personal thoughts on the messy Alabama Senate race.
Though Marlow thought Corfmans 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.

This guy can go f himself right in the ear. He is a horrible person, full stop.
