Protester who interrupted Moore: Someone needed to stand up for the girls

BY BRETT SAMUELS - 11/30/17 09:27 AM EST

A protester interrupted a Roy Moore as the Alabama Senate candidate spoke at a church service Wednesday night, asking if all the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct are lying.

While discussing the allegations against him, Moore told the crowd that he believes he angered certain people while serving as district attorney several decades ago, which has created a conspiracy against him.

A protester interrupted Moore, asking, “The entire town? Are all the girls lying?” CNN reported.

“Someone needed to stand up for the girls,” the man told CNN as he was escorted out of the church.

The reverend presiding over the service reportedly called the protester a plant.

Roy Moore church event interrupted by protester

(CNN)Embattled Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore was interrupted by protester Wednesday evening as he spoke during a church service in southern Alabama. Moore began his remarks by blaming liberals for the country's political woes.

"Who are they? The liberals. They don't want conservative values," Moore said from the pulpit of Magnolia Springs Baptist Church in Theodore. "They are the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender ... who want to change our culture. They are socialists who want to change our way of life. Putting man above God. And the government is our god. They are the Washington establishment. They want to keep everything the same so they don't lose their position, power and prestige."

Moore then referenced reports of sexual misconduct brought against him. He said his family felt terrible about the allegations. "It hurts them to think and see what I've been charged with," he said. Moore said he believes his prosecution of drug cases when he was a district attorney angered certain people, and that this is at "the heart of this conspiracy" against him.

A protester then interrupted Moore's remarks, yelling, "The entire town? Are all the girls lying?" CNN spoke to the protester as he was escorted out of the church. The man did not give his name but said he lived in Alabama and "someone needed to stand up for the girls."

That should be reason enough for everyone in the church to vote against him.

They’ve been waiting for decades for their champions. Their hate driven saviors.
When you combine masses of The Stupid with a handful of the harmfully intelligent, manipulative slime of humanity...
you have the ruling class of America today.
