Kayla Moore, wife of that guy — Roy Moore — sought to dispel suggestions that she and her husband hold anti-Jewish sentiments.<\/p>\n

She said — and this is kind of funny if you’re in the right frame of mind — “One of our attorneys is a Jew. ” Then she said she has “many good friends that are Jewish.”<\/p>\n

It’s come to this, dear reader. A candidate for the U.S. Senate is now defending himself, via his wife, that he has friends who are Jewish.<\/p>\n

Does it remind you of how some folks will say “I am not racist. Some of my best friends are black”?<\/p>\n

Kayla Moore’s comments came just a few days after her husband said of George Soros, the noted left-leaning political mega-donor — who happens to be Jewish: Soros “is going to the same place that people who don’t recognize God and morality and accept salvation are going. And that’s not a good place.”<\/p>\n

I guess Roy Moore means hell. He means that non-Christians are going straight to purgatory. Isn’t that right?<\/p>\n

They’ve gone to the polls today in Alabama, where Moore is running against Democrat Doug Jones to fill the U.S. Senate vacated when Jeff Sessions became attorney general.<\/p>\n

How do suppose non-Christians in Alabama — or anywhere else in this widely diverse nation — feel about a candidate for the Senate saying they’re going to hell?<\/p>\n

This is the kind of thing — apart from the sexual abuse allegations — that creeps me out about Roy Moore.<\/p>\n\n
