Moore backer says 'he's the closest thing to a Founding Father'

A supporter of Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) praised him at a rally on Friday, calling the former state Supreme Court chief justice “a man beyond reproach” and comparing him to the Founding Fathers.

"He is the closest thing to a Founding Father that we have seen in our lifetimes," Jennifer Case said at a “Women for Roy Moore” rally outside the Alabama state Capitol.

Case was one of several speakers at the event, including Moore’s wife Kayla, who said Moore would not step down from the Alabama Senate race in the face of mounting sexual misconduct allegations.

"After all the attacks against me, against my family, against the Foundation and against my husband, he will not step down," Kayla Moore said at a press conference following the rally. She also said that President Trump owes the Moores a “thank you” for taking up the media spotlight in recent weeks.

Including some Jeffersonian hanky-panky. Keep everyone in their place, like the good old days.

I don’t even recognize these people as Americans anymore. They support a Russian satellite state, formerly referred to as the “U.S.A.”

How he feels about the Treaty of Tripoli, that many were Freemasons, and Jefferson cutting all of Jesus’s miracles out of his bible?

of the US and the founding fathers too since I was surrounded by it. My house was built in 1869 and was one of the newer ones in the area. I have taken courses and given tours while in college there. I suggest Ms. Alabama take a trip up there and get her head out of her ass. Maybe she will learn something before she opens her ignorant mouth in public again.

about a "Founding Father" of the Confederacy perhaps.

Morally bankrupt.
