Some have suggested Alabama Republican Senatorial candidate Roy Moore is anti-semitic, so his wife Kayla offered this defense:
“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.”
AHA! That totally clears that up!
Let's say you are teaching a class about anti-semitism, and you don't know how to show your students what anti-semitism looks like in today's America. Kayla Moore has solved your problem. https://t.co/SoZ6Q2PkHM

Amazingly, the Kayla Moore quote is somehow worse on video than it is as text. That takes some real doing. https://t.co/Gby4Th3wVH

So as a Jewish, gay woman, I guess it’s safe to say Roy and Kayla Moore won’t be inviting me over for dinner anytime soon?

Kudos to Kayla Moore for reminding everyone in the midst of her husband's pedophilia and homophobia and xenophobia that he's also antisemitic.

Kayla Moore saying that her & her husband aren’t anti Semitic because one of their “attorney’s is a Jew,” is comparable to when Trump points out a black person at his rallies & says “look at my African American over there.” Pitiful.

I have a soft spot for Kayla Moore. Probably because one of my attorneys is a moron.

Kayla Moore understands anti-Semitism about as well as her husband understands the age of consent.
