From today's NY Times, quotes from Mrs. Moore:
"Fake news would also have you think that my husband doesnt support the black community. Yet my husband appointed the very first black marshal to the Alabama Supreme Court, Mr. Willie James. When he first took office as chief justice many years ago, he brought with him three people from Etowah County; two were black, and one of them is here tonight. We have many friends that are black, and we also fellowship with them in church and in our home.
Fake news would tell you that we dont care for Jews. I tell you all this because Ive seen it all, so I just want to set the record straight while theyre here. One of our attorneys is a Jew. We have very close friends that are Jewish and rabbis, and we also fellowship with them."

Well, it's really nice to know that Roy Moore and his wife aren't bigots. After all, we all know he's going to win today and it would be really horrible to have a bigot from Alabama in the Senate.

Translation: The family owned one or two, and the other does legal work for them.
