This is apparently what it looks like when Roy Moore spokesperson Janet Porter tries to avoid getting controversial, by ducking questions on some of Moore’s most gratuitously hateful, unconstitutional views.
“Does he still believe an American citizen who’s a Muslim should not be able to serve in Congress?” Cooper asked, referencing comments Moore has made in the past criticizing Rep. Keith Ellison, who is a Muslim, about being sworn into Congress with the Quran.
“I think that what he’s getting at there is that we believe in the rule of law by the Constitution, not Sharia law. I think that’s really the bottom line and what we’re looking at,” she said. “It’s a message — I believe his position has to do with whether we follow the Constitution or the ridiculously oppressive to women Sharia law.”
Remember that Moore was twice removed as a state judge for defying the Constitution, and that putting a religious test on serving in Congress would be blatantly unconstitutional.
Does Moore still think that being gay is like bestiality? Porter “can’t answer that question,” but what she did do is turn it into an attack on transgender people using the bathroom. Does Moore believe homosexuality should be illegal? Porter wouldn’t answer directly, but did say Moore “believes in the Bible,” which as an answer to that question and knowing the man’s history we can just take as a yes.
But before you decide Janet Porter couldn’t give a straight answer to anything, hold up one minute. She did speak confidently to the question of whether Roy Moore is still a birther. “That is his position.” Birther and sexual predator … no wonder Donald Trump is all in for Moore.
