Frustration and shame—that's the only way to describe how I feel when talk turns to the affection a lot of people in my native state—Alabama—feel for Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore. Now, The Washington Post is alleging that years ago, Roy Moore had inappropriate sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl. Although Roy Moore might seem like a defiant fighter to his sadly misinformed and feverishly dedicated base, in truth, he puts his own interests first. Roy Moore is a lady pistol waving self-serving hypocrite, a typical street preacher who found fame by challenging the law of the land. Alabama Republican leaders who stand by Roy Moore will go to their graves knowing they were complicit in bringing abject shame upon the state of Alabama at a very crucial time in our nation's history— if in fact, Roy Moore gets elected.
