The jubilation felt among hardcore conservatives over Judge Roy Moore’s win in the Republican primary runoff Tuesday night also brought recrimination from the Democratic left and the sophisticated right.
After Moore’s triumph, the wife of a top White House official wrote on social media, “For the first time in my life, I have to say, I’m embarrassed to say I’m from Alabama.”
Moore’s Democrat rival Doug Jones on the same night took to social media to announce, “After years of embarrassing headlines about the top public officials in this state, this race is about the people of Alabama and about choosing a candidate with character and integrity they can be proud of. I will never embarrass the people of Alabama.”
So, when the wife of a deputy chief of staff to the president is embarrassed by Moore’s election, and Democrat Jones promises he won’t embarrass the state; what is the message?
These views are perhaps shared by some Alabamians, but the vast majority who fulfilled their civic duty by voting on Tuesday chose Moore.
It’s not hard to see why Moore’s brand of conservatism might offend some because it is rigid and unmoved by urges of modernity. Moore stands for the traditional values of God, country and the U.S. Constitution. Is there shame in such beliefs? Why is Moore vilified for saying out loud what hundreds of thousands of church-going-Alabamans believe?
Moore is bombastic, confrontational and a religious street-fighter. Are we, as a state and nation, so delicate that dissenting voices are too harsh for the public forum?

We need this man on our team. Do the right thing, Alabama!
(I’m pretty sure you will!) :)
And Vermont can have a straight up commie?
Whatever wife is saying that needs to remember her husband’s job and be much more discreet. What an idiot.
I am embarrassed of the GOPe and the likes of Mitch, McCain etc.
When has anyone ever questioned Moore’s character and integrity?
Why the he[[ is the wife of a deputy chief of staff posting on social media?
Are all people under the age of 30 liberals?
Oh no! This is terrible. /sarc
Of course no name is provided so we are supposed to believe the serial liars in the media.
I would bet 100 to 1 this is made up or a half truth at best.

I’m embarrassed that you’re embarrassed.
6 point lead is at least 10 points due to fake news polls.
Are all people under the age of 30 liberals?
I’m ELATED
So why doesn’t this blogger name the wife?
What about the president who endorsed him?
The liberal and establishment republicans’ knives are out.
I like Moore the same way I like Trump. He’s a hand grenade shoved down their throat.
The more they hate him them more fun it will be to see him elected.
Who is the jerk who is the White House Deputy Chief of Staff? Why is his wife writing junk on the internet that denigrates the Republican candidate and can be quoted in favor of the liberal Democrat running against Moore? How on earth does Trump find these people to work in the White House? 10-1 they said the same thing about Trump when he was running and voted for McMullin or some other alternative; Just why are such people in high positions at the White House? Get them out!
He probably is no better. Most likely another mole set in there to disrupt President Trump.
