Roy Moore’s defiant road to become US senator

In his nearly three decades in the public eye, Roy Moore has never been one to shy away from controversy or confrontation.

Whether it’s the public display of the Ten Commandments or his refusal to enforce the U.S. Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriage, Moore has gained national attention for his dogged and bombastic defense of his brand of Christianity’s role in the American political system.

The twice-removed former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice is now vying to become Alabama’s next U.S. senator, taking on [appointed] U.S. Sen. Luther Strange, who is backed by both Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Donald Trump.

The race has become a proxy war between the populist and establishment wings of the Republican Party, and has even pitted the president against his former top aides Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka, who are backing Moore. Next Tuesday voters will choose Moore or Strange to take on former U.S. Attorney and Democratic nominee Doug Jones in the general election in December.

Here’s a look back at some of Moore’s most controversial moments since his first appointment to public office.

Roy Moore has principles and values that every day Americans believe in.. onnoes the horror!
Meanwhile strange is a corruptocrat to the core. Go Moore! Roll Tide!

Roy Moore gets trashed even worse in the hit pieces done by the “Washington Examiner”, a supposed “conservative media” outlet.

That outfit is astro turf for the RINO’s.

I never thought the day would come where Judge Moore would be in this position. The left did everything they could to DESTROY this man. The fact that the GOP overtly opposes him says everything about the current state of the Republican Party. It needs to break apart or the RINO-Democrats need to be purged.

Yes.... not from Alabama, but sent the judge $50 the other day. Payback for McConnell and company for the fiasco in the Mississippi primary of Thad Cochran.
