Exactly. The attack on Moore looks like a tactical weapon because that is exactly what it was. Republicans are stupid when they fall for this kind of crap, which they do with all too regularity.
They fell for it in the case of Chris McDaniel too.
There is a reason we are known as the "stupid party."
Its pretty obvious that Moore was a victim of an orchestrated attempt to rig the election in his opponents favor. Some call it voter fraud.
