MIDLAND CITY, Ala. — Kayla Moore used the final campaign rally for her husband to fire back against accusations that they hate Jews, black people and women, with an interesting choice of evidence.

“Fake news would tell you that we don’t care for Jews. But I’ll tell you all this because I see you all, I just want to set the record straight while they’re here: One of our attorneys is a Jew,” Kayla Moore said, waving towards the back of the room where reporters were gathered. “We have very close friends who are Jewish.”

The comment came towards the end of a testy and sometimes bizarre rally Monday night where she, her deeply controversial husband, Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, and top allies lashed out at all of their enemies, real and imagined: The multiple women who’ve accused him of sexual misconduct towards them when they were teenagers, the “fake news” that covered the women’s claims, the Republican establishment that’s recoiled from Moore since the allegations broke, and the Democrats who are hoping to score a shocking victory against him on Tuesday.

It was a fitting capstone for one of the most bizarre elections in recent memory.

1. Mrs. Betty Bowers nails this one.

Link to tweet

[sansa]

2. She is the perfect wife for him, totally clueless and that is

just fine for her.

[Sancho]

3. SNL is going to be epic...

[HopeAgain]

4. Couldn't even do the "We have a Jewish friend" routine...

Had to search their professional relationships before she could name a Jew they would associate with. If this were written as fiction, people would say it is too far out and cynically stereotypical to be believable.

[robbob]

11. Jews make the best lawyers.

Doncha know?

[Cold War Spook]

29. Archie Bunker knows this

but his Jew lawyer (yes, I wrote it that way on purpose) knows you can't beat a car full of nuns.

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Actually she did the "friends" thing

longer clips show it.

[Scarsdale]

5. What a charming couple!!

Maybe there is truth to the old adage "God matched them as he made them"?? Most NORMAL women would be smart enough to recognize that all these women coming forward, being ridiculed for their statements are TRUTHFUL. Is she going to allow her pedophile husband to go to DC without her, or will she be like Pence's wife? Strange that some of these holier than thou Christians can not trust their menfolk out of their sights.

[NurseJackie]

6. Do Americans of Jewish faith object to being referred to as "a Jew"? Is Kayla Moore...

Is Kayla Moore being offensive to Jewish Americans by using "a Jew" as a noun (rather than an adjective)... or is she just being ham-handed in her outdated way of referring to people?

I'll bet she says "Orientals" too.

[leftynyc]

17. We know there is a HUGE difference

between

One of our lawyers is Jewish
and
One of our lawyers is a Jew

[MurrayDelph]

23. Especially when the pronounce it

as if it had an H in it: "J'-hew."

[Igel]

32. I attended a messianic synagogue for most of last year.

The Jews there referred to themselves as "Jews" and had no problem saying, "Ben there is a Jew" or "my father wasn't Jewish, but my mother was a Jew."

I grew up thinking "Jew" was offensive. My roommate in college didn't, our mutual friends didn't, the friends he had who were Jewish but who weren't my friends didn't.

I avoid the phrase, but find "Jewish people" instead of "Jews" to be cumbersome and attention-calling to the fact I try to avoid the noun itself.


What's amusing is in one post the assumption goes from "this is a question" to "the answer is yes" and off to suspicion of other racist (or now-racist) acts.

[OilemFirchen]

35. Wanna know what us Joos call "Messianic Jews"?

Christians.

And, for the record, as an alt eydish mentsh, I (and the rest of my family) have always found that using "Jew" in this manner is pejorative. Further, you can avoid the drudgery by simply using "Jewish", as in "we have an attorney who is Jewish".

Nishto farvos.

[liberal N proud]

7. The way she said it was as disgusting as the idea that it mattered

This last year since the Russians installed trump have been dark and strange and down right scary

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. It is going SO viral

and so is this

[Lochloosa]

8. Yes, but has he ever had dinner at your home?

[SayItLoud]

10. Oh, my, my, my, LORDY NO

He's a hired hand...not a dinner guest.

[Paladin]

9. So what? Hitler's family doctor was Jewish, as well. (nt)

[Cryptoad]

12. If that is not a Evil Shit-Eating grin,,,,,

there has never been one!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

13. Now all they need is "... a black, a woman, {another Jew} and a cripple. And {they'll} have talent."

James G. Watt

Other controversies
....

A controversy erupted after a speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in September 1983, when Watt mocked affirmative action by making the following statement about a coal leasing panel: "I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent." Watt resigned within weeks of making this statement. In 2008, Time magazine named Watt among the ten worst cabinet members in modern history.

18. Oh, God!!!! I remember this clown!!!! One of the many times during Raygun's administration I was....

.......left with my mouth hanging open, thinking: "Is this really happening?!?!?!?!?"

It seems to be happening all over again.....and again.....and again!!!! Every time the Repukes take power!!!!!

[matt819]

16. This is the age-old response to being labeled an anti-Semite

I have a Jewish friend.

I had a Jewish roommate.

I have a Jewish lawyer.

I have a Jewish doctor.

All statements are are accompanied by a finger to the nose, confirming that the Jew they know is, you know, one of those hook-nosed Jews.

Do they think Jews don't know this? What fools!

Of course, there's the question of why a Jewish lawyer would work for people like the Moores. And the anti-Semites are ready with an answer, in closed company, of course: The $$.

[MurrayDelph]

24. "And we donate

to a special clinic that grinds down their horns so they can pass for normal people."



/sarcasm-off

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Also means they need & have MULTIPLE attorneys. . . . nt

[NastyRiffraff]

20. Rachel showed that clip last night

It was in the last minute of her show. She said (paraphrasing) "Okay, this just happened. I'm gonna show it to you without comment." Afterwards with Lawrence O'Donnell, both of them said they were close to speechless.

[Dave Starsky]

21. We love deli food.

Corned beef is almost my favorite.

[matt819]

25. We love Jewish food

Just last week Roy had a pastrami sandwich on white bread with mayonnaise.

[videohead5]

22. Archie Bunker

Also had Jewish lawyers.

[Danmel]

34. Rabinowitz, Rabinowitz and Rabinowitz

Three savage Jews.😉

[MFM008]

26. I once knew a jew.....

I sat next to one on a bus.......
I read about jews......

[Orange Free State]

27. I will only believe they are not bigots....

....if they also have one nigra lawyer and one oriental lawyer as well! (Sarcasm Alert)

[sakabatou]

28. Or as racists like to say

"I'm not racist, I have a best friend who's black."

[Jose Garcia]

30. Great! They can combine Moore's victory party with a Hanukkah party.

[truthisfreedom]

31. She must hate political life.

Why else would she be so fiercely working at cross purposes?

[Danmel]

33. The way she spit out the word Jew made my skin crawl

Horrifying.
