The Roy Moore Conundrum; Conservatives Weigh In
Fred T Oct. 27, 2017 6:32 pm by Fred T There is a fairly big question mark over the face of Judge Roy Moore, especially when it comes to his Alabama Senate race. It’s important to say “especially when it comes to” because there was already a more general question mark on the guy. Questions like “is he crazy?” or “should we like him?” or “can we get rid of him?” for example.
But he is the nominee now, and moreover a Bannon select. But is he someone conservatives can or should get behind and endorse?
National Review’s Jonah Goldberg says no.
Republican Roy Moore is the new Welch (or at least one of several new Welches). He threatens to provide conservatism’s critics with precisely the caricature they crave.
He is a twice-disgraced former judge who believes 9/11 was divine retribution for our sins and an anti-Muslim bigot who can’t quite bring himself to rule out the death penalty for homosexuals. But he won the Alabama Senate primary anyway, largely on the grounds that he was the most anti-establishment candidate. To Alabama primary voters, his extremism is apparently proof that he won’t “sell out.”
