Roy Moore Backs Candidate Who Called Feminists 'Career-Obsessed Banshees'

By Nicole Lafond | February 26, 2018 10:20 am

Former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore late last week endorsed a Republican Senate candidate in Missouri who recently made vexed statements about feminists and women.

In his endorsement, Moore called the candidate, Courtland Sykes, a “man of vision and principle” and someone with “impeccable character, courage and Christian faith.”

“We need men like Courtland Sykes in the Senate of the United States, a leader who will not only say what is right, but also a leader who will do what is right!” Moore said in a sweeping endorsement of the candidate.

Sykes, who has modeled much of his campaign policy after President Donald Trump, is one of four Republicans vying to challenge Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) in the general election, including the state’s Attorney General Josh Hawley, whom Trump has offered his support. Sykes drew scrutiny after he posted a statement on his campaign Facebook page last month, clarifying his “views” on women’s rights.
