GOP Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore stunned some listeners when he said he thought America was “great” during the era of slavery. Back in September, one of the few African-Americans in the crowd asked the candidate when he thought was the “last time” America was great. ... Our families were strong, our country had a direction,” Moore responded, according to a Los Angeles Times report in September. At the same rally, he also referred to Native Americans and Asians as “reds and yellows,” the LA Times reported. Columbus linked to the LA Times story, saying, “Can’t make this up.” His message was retweeted thousands of times.
