Moore laments racial division between 'reds and yellows'
BY BEN KAMISAR - 09/18/17 02:00 PM EDT


Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, one of two Republicans competing in a primary runoff next week, appeared to use racially insensitive terms to describe Native Americans and Asians during a campaign speech on Sunday.

Moore, a former chief justice on the state Supreme Court, lamented divisions between Americans based on race, mentioning “reds and yellows."

“We were torn apart in the Civil War — brother against brother, North against South, party against party. What changed?” Moore asked in footage provided to The Hill by a Republican monitoring the race.


“Now we have blacks and whites fighting, reds and yellows fighting, Democrats and Republicans fighting, men and women fighting. What’s going to unite us? What’s going to bring us back together? A president? A Congress? No. It’s going to be God.”
Moore's campaign told The Hill the remarks were taken out of context

1. Roy Moore is dangerous

If he gets to the senate, one can only hope the rest of the body ignores him

forgot to mention the browns!

"They're bushed—they've been shooting reds and yellows all day."
