Just weeks ago, Roy Moore said “shootings and killings here in 2017” have victimized innocent Americans “because we’ve asked for it.”

This is the same logic Moore used when he blamed America for the September 11th terrorist attacks that left nearly 3,000 dead and over 6,000 injured.

Roy Moore says ‘we’ve asked for’ shootings and killings by turning away from God

(CNN)—Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore said in a speech last month that Americans have asked for “shootings and killings” by removing the “acknowledgment of God” from society.

Moore, the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, made the comments to the group Citizen Impact USA on August 24 at an event on defending religious liberties. Video of the speech was uploaded by the Atlanta-based production company, Studio 25 productions, on YouTube on August 25.

Moore is running against fellow Republican and incumbent Sen. Luther Strange in a runoff primary race set for September 26.

“We are losing the acknowledgment of God, and I’m standing here talking, to Christians and Pastors, and I’m telling you we’re losing the acknowledgment of God,” Moore said, before reciting several verses from the Old Testament book of Hosea that deal with lack of knowledge of God.

“You wonder why we’re having shootings, and killings here in 2017? Because we’ve asked for it,” Moore said. “We’ve taken God out of everything. We’ve taken prayer out of school, we’ve taken prayer out of council meetings.”

A Moore spokesman did not return a request for comment on the candidate’s comments.

Moore has in the past suggested tragic events were the result of American society turning away from God. In a comment from February reported on by CNN’s KFile last week, Moore suggested the September 11, 2001 attacks might have occurred because the US had distanced itself from God.

Moore bested Strange in the initial primary, receiving 39% of the vote compared to Strange’s 33%. President Donald Trump will travel to Alabama this weekend to campaign for Strange, who is also backed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Trump’s former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, is backing Moore.

Roy Moore likes to tell reporters to “get out of my face” just before having them kicked out of campaign events. Is that so they don’t hear Moore’s racially disparaging comments like the ones he made yesterday about Native Americans?

Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, one of two Republicans competing in a primary runoff next week, used 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 did not immediately respond to a request for comment about his language.

The judge is no stranger to controversial comments — reporters have dug up a handful of eye-popping comments from Moore’s past, even as his campaign as he sits in strong position in next week’s Senate GOP primary runoff.

Last week, CNN reported that Moore implied that the 9/11 terror attacks could have been caused by a lack of religious faith.

Moore leads Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) in all recent public polling of next week’s Alabama GOP Senate primary runoff. The winner of that contest will advance to the general election, where whoever wins the GOP nomination is expected to beat a Democrat and serve out the rest of Attorney General Jeff Sessions‘s Senate term.

The runoff is expected to go down to the wire, as President Trump is scheduled to stump on Strange’s behalf on Saturday.

Moore Promoter Bozell Blamed Trump for Obamacare 

Roy Moore recently tweeted that he is“honored” to have the endorsement of notorious Trump hater Brent Bozell. Courtesy of Breitbart News Network, this was Bozell’s indictment of now-President Trump just last year:

“He financially helped the Democrats pass Obamacare.”

“…someone with no discernible principles.”

“…someone who consistently lies about principles.”

“…shocks the civilized world…”

“…corruption of government that triggered his movement.”

“When it comes time to nominate a new Supreme Court Justice, and President Trump names his radically pro-abortion sister, as he’s suggested he would, or some other radically pro-abortion pro- Planned Parenthood jurist, as we know he will, will you accept that you helped him do that?”

Judge Roy Moore, who has bad-mouthed President Trump’s border wall plan and pushed out posts critical of President Trump’s daughter Ivanka, reveled in Bozell’s endorsement.

Here’s the latest red flag regarding Roy Moore’s so-called charity that has not filed its taxes since 2014, has paid him and his wife over $1 million for part time work, has been financially mismanaged, and is violating its tax-exempt status.

Roy Moore-connected foundation’s back pay to Senate candidate, second mortgage raise questions

As the Foundation for Moral Law fought – unsuccessfully – a lawsuit against it by a Christian fundraising operation, the organization with ties to U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore took out a second mortgage on its Montgomery building to pay Moore years of back pay, federal court filings and Montgomery County probate records showed.

Meanwhile, it remains unclear years later who paid the $465,000 judgement against the foundation because the organization has not filed its taxes since 2014 and didn’t report the payment in its most recently filed tax returns.

Kayla Moore, Moore’s wife and head of the foundation, did not return calls from AL.com seeking comment.

After Moore was removed as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court in 2003 for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments statue from the Alabama Judicial Building, the foundation headed by his wife viewed the controversy as a fundraising opportunity, according to court documents. It hired InfoCision, an Ohio-based firm that specializes in fundraising for Christian organization, to help the foundation seek donors.

But InfoCision sued the foundation in 2008 for breach of contract for not paying its bills. The court case lasted five years, with a judge ultimately ruling that the foundation was on the hook for more than $465,000.

But as the lawsuit was playing out, the foundation took out a second mortgage on its Dexter Avenue building in August 2011 for $367,000 to pay Roy Moore, who was then the foundation’s president.

That amount roughly mirrors $348,000 that an Ohio jury originally ordered the foundation to pay to Infocision just six months later.

As the judgement increased after years of court wrangling, so too did the second mortgage and money owed by the foundation to Roy Moore.

In December 2011, the foundation upped the second mortgage to $498,000. Two months later, a federal judge agreed with InfoCision’s request to add nearly $120,000 in pre-judgement interest, increasing the judgement to more than $465,000.

InfoCision acknowledged in 2013 that the foundation paid the judgment, but the foundation did not reflect the payment in its tax returns for 2013 or 2014 — the latest year the foundation filed.

Because the judgement is not in the foundation’s tax records, it’s unclear whether the organization paid it directly or if Moore a third party did so.

Moore is in a runoff with incumbent Sen. Luther Strange in the Republican special election fill Jeff Sessions’ seat. Shortly after he resigned as chief justice for a second time in April, Moore announced his candidacy for the seat. He came in first during last month’s special election but failed to reach the 50 percent plus one vote threshold to win the GOP nomination outright.

WASHINGTON, DC – Senate Leadership Fund President and CEO Steven Law today released the following statement in response to Steve Bannon calling James Comey’s firing “the biggest mistake in modern political history.”

“Steve Bannon is dead wrong. Every fact that has come out about James Comey’s handling of the Clinton email investigation has affirmed the rightness of President Trump’s decision.”
