Comment about Jews by Roy Moore’s wife sparks new ridicule
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. — The wife of embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore drew ridicule online after she declared that “one of our attorneys is a Jew,” and said some of their close friends are “Jewish and rabbis” while defending him against accusations that he doesn’t care for blacks or Jews.
Speaking at a campaign rally Monday night in Midland City, Alabama, Kayla Moore pointed out that her husband appointed the first black marshal to the state Supreme Court. She said they also have many friends who are black.
But she raised the most eyebrows in her defence against claims that her husband, who’s a Republican, is anti-Semitic.
“Well, one of our attorneys is a Jew,” Kayla Moore said, pausing for effect and nodding before adding, “We have very close friends who are Jewish and rabbis and we also fellowship with them.”
