Roy Moore leads Luther Strange in Alabama Senate Race as he speaks out against ‘Crime, corruption, immorality, abortion, sodomy, sexual perversion’
U.S. Senate candidate and former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore blasted the “immorality, abortion, sodomy,” and “sexual perversion” that “sweep our land” in a debate Thursday night.
“I wanna see virtue and morality return to our country,” said Moore. “God is the only source of our law, liberty, and government. You know our first president said that virtue and morality was a necessary spring of popular government. He said who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference on attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric. Our foundation has been shaken.”
“Crime, corruption, immorality, abortion, sodomy, sexual perversion sweep our land,” he continued. “When we become one nation under God again, when liberty and justice for all reigns across our land, we will be truly good again.”

A new poll shows Moore leading Sen. Luther Strange by eight points just days before the Republican primary. The Fox10 News/Strategy Research survey showed Moore with 54 percent support versus the incumbent Strange, who got 46 percent.
President Trump will attend a rally for Strange on Friday night in Huntsville as he tries to spark a comeback for the incumbent, who trailed by as many as 18 points in a poll from last month.
Trump has credited the tightening in the race to his backing of Strange.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) headlined a pro-Moore rally with Breitbart News writer and former White House aide Sebastian Gorka on Thursday night.
Breitbart and its chairman Stephen Bannon, who until recently was Trump’s chief strategist in the White House, are squarely behind Moore.
Strange’s allies, including a super PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), have poured tens of millions of dollars into the race.
Moore is famous in Alabama and to social conservatives nationwide for his strong stands for life, marriage, and the role of religion in the public square. Moore was suspended from the Alabama Supreme Court for refusing to move a Ten Commandments statue when he was its Chief Justice in 2003.
