WATCH: Alabama Senate Candidate Roy Moore Whips Out Tiny Pistol at Rally

Roy Moore, who is likely going to be elected Alabama’s next senator, whipped out a gun at his Monday night rally.

Moore, a former judge who has taken the lead in the Republican primary against interim senator and President Trump-pick Luther Strange, has been touted as a right-wing, anti-establishment wet dream by Breitbart et al.

So naturally, Moore was joined at his rally by former White House chief strategist turned Breitbart chair Steve Bannon, as well as Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame.

And during his speech, Moore lamented the negative ads Strange ran against him, including some that claimed he opposed the Second Amendment.

So to prove his gun-toting cred, Moore reached into his pants, unveiled a tiny pistol, and proudly declared: “I believe in the Second Amendment.”

Despite Trump’s efforts campaigning for Strange — as well as Mitch McConnell’s generous financial backing — the interim senator is unlikely to hold on to his seat. Recent polling showed Moore with an 11-point lead over Strange, even after Trump’s Alabama rally.

The Republican primary will be held Tuesday, with the winner to face Democrat Doug Jones in the December general election.
