Alabama Republicans Rebut The Myth Of White Superiority

By way of introduction: Tommy Tuberville is the new Republican U.S. senator from Alabama.

He was previously a successful college football coach at the University of Mississippi, Texas Tech, Cincinnati and Auburn — where his team six times defeated their powerful in-state rival, the University of Alabama. Tuberville — with the strong endorsement of President Donald J. Trump and after a campaign in which, after first announcing he would meet his rivals in public debates, he refused to debate either his primary or general election opponents and did not hold open press conferences or announce his scheduled campaign appearances to press or to the public — still won 60 percent of the vote in November to defeat the Democratic incumbent Doug Jones.

GOP Panic Over Roy Moore’s Candidacy In Alabama Senate Primary

GOP Panic Over Roy Moore’s Candidacy In Alabama Senate Primary

Republicans are panicking after alleged pedophile Roy Moore announced on Thursday that he is jumping into the U.S. Senate race in Alabama.

“We’ll be opposing Roy Moore vigorously,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. That was not true in Moore’s first Senate campaign in 2017, when McConnell said he hoped Moore would withdraw his candidacy but never vigorously opposed him or endorsed his Democratic opponent.

“This place has enough creepy old men,” said Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ).

Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO) said “the people of Alabama are smarter than that,” referring to Moore’s candidacy.

“I can assure everyone that by running, Roy Moore is going against my father and he’s doing a disservice to all conservatives across the country in the process,” wrote Donald Trump Jr., lashing out at his fellow Republican.

Republicans are clearly concerned that Moore’s candidacy could keep the seat in the hands of Democratic Sen. Doug Jones, who defeated Moore in a special election in 2017. Moore is the most visible and well-known figure (for all the wrong reasons) running in the crowded Republican primary.

Politico reported that South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has talked to Jeff Sessions, who vacated that Senate seat to become Trump’s attorney general, about running for his old seat now that Sessions is out of a job, having been fired by Trump.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said Republicans would “probably lose the seat” unless Trump “came out forcefully against him.”

Trump said last month that he didn’t want Moore to run again, for fear he would lose, but he added that he has “nothing against” Moore.

Jones’ victory over Moore in 2017 was a black eye for the Republican Party after they gave up a Senate seat in one of the most Republican states in the country.

The loss came after it was revealed that Moore, when he was 32, groped a 14-year-old girl he was dating at the time.

The disgusting episode immediately came to mind as Moore promised at his campaign kickoff Thursday to “make more personal contact with people.”

Embarrassingly, Trump won Alabama by 28 points just a year before Moore’s loss. The campaign flop was an early harbinger of the blue wave that washed away the Republican majority in the House in the 2018 midterms.

Republicans are already on edge about the upcoming election, and Moore’s candidacy puts them on the defense in territory that has historically favored Republicans.

Pedophilia is once again a problem for the Republican Party, and they are on full alert.

#EndorseThis: Roy Moore Nailed By Sexual Predator Detector Wand

#EndorseThis: Roy Moore Nailed By Sexual Predator Detector Wand

Remember the pitiful attempts by failed Senate candidate Roy Moore’s few remaining friends to prove he wasn’t a sicko? A lying sexual predator who took advantage of adolescent girls when in his late 20s and early 30s?

Colonel Erran Morad (actually Sacha Baron Cohen of Borat fame) gives Moore a chance to prove his innocence. In today’s clip, Morad is only a few moments into an interview with Moore when the former unveils a “pedophile wand” that works somewhat like a lie-detector test, or maybe a Geiger counter. The wand is based totally in “science,” Morad assures the Alabama politician.

And what does the high-tech gadget tell us about Roy Moore’s sick and demented mind?

Watch and see – and hear – for yourself.

Citing ‘Irregularities,’ Roy Moore Sues To Stop Certification of Doug Jones’ Victory

Citing ‘Irregularities,’ Roy Moore Sues To Stop Certification of Doug Jones’ Victory

With only hours to spare, Roy Moore filed a lawsuit to prevent Alabama officials from certifying Doug Jones as the winner of the U.S. Senate race, according to the Associated Press.

The Republican nominee’s court action was aimed at a state canvassing board, set to declare on Thursday that Jones officially won the Dec. 12 special election.  The Democrat won by about 20,000 votes or 1.5 percent of the total.

The complaint filed by Moore’s attorney cited supposed election irregularities, demanding an investigation and a new special election — a familiar theme on the Republican far right.

“This is not a Republican or Democrat issue as election integrity should matter to everyone,” Moore said in a statement released Wednesday announcing the complaint.

John Merrill, Alabama’s secretary of state, told the AP that he won’t delay the canvassing board meeting.
