This is getting really scary. The same guy who was “suspended [from the bench] for declining to enforce the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriages [and] after losing an appeal... resigned in April,” reports Politico, is leading in the polls in the Republican primary in Alabama for Jeff Sessions old senate seat. Also according to Politico, he told The Guardian that Vladimir Putin is “maybe … more akin to me than I know” because Putin opposes gay marriage, and, of transgender troops, he said, “If we’re going to file for hormone treatments and medical surgeries, that’s not making your military stronger. You’ve got to have a disciplined military.” Here’s his latest. The Hill:
“Now we have blacks and whites fighting, reds and yellows fighting, Democrats and Republicans fighting, men and women fighting. What’s going to unite us? What’s going to bring us back together? A president? A Congress? No. It’s going to be God.”
These comments weren’t made in church. They were made at a campaign rally yesterday. Last week CNN reported Moore’s theory that the 9/11 attack was caused by lack of religious faith. Those comments, at least, were made inside the confines of a church, along with his political views. The Hill reports this:
Moore went on to say that God could be upset with Americans for legitimizing sodomy and abortion.
Moore leads Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) by 14 points as of yesterday. Even Mitch McConnell doesn’t want this guy in the Senate. He persuaded Trump to fly to Alabama this weekend and campaign for “Big Luther.” Breitbart, incredibly, is supporting Moore.
Alabama is now ground zero in the GOP civil war. It’s a no brainer that our Democrat, Doug Jones, has to win, especially if this is the Republican candidate. Moore is as medieval as Mike Pence. This senate seat race is turning into an unqualified disaster, with a candidate who doesn’t recognize the primacy of the supreme court, nor the constitution and continues to demonstrate that fact every day, ignoring the constitutional mandate of separation between church and state.
