On the eve of the Alabama Senate special election, embattled Republican nominee Roy Moore held a campaign rally in Midland City. Besides bringing in such notable Republicans and conservatives like Steve Bannon, Louie Gohmert, Paul Nehlen and David Clarke, the ex-judge’s wife, Kayla Moore, was also in attendance and spoke at the event.

And she wanted everyone to know that the couple is absolutely, positively and unreservedly NOT anti-Semitic.

How did she do that? Oh, just by letting the crowd know that one of their lawyers was a Jew. Making sure the reporters at the rally heard her, she said the following:

“Fake news would tell you that we don’t care for Jews…I just want to set the record straight while they’re here. Well, one of our attorneys is a Jew. We have very close friends who are Jewish and rabbis.”

Oh, I don’t think the media missed her comments.
