Well, I guess Roy Moore's primary win is assured now... because of "economic anxieties"

Roy Moore, the Republican front-runner in next week’s special Senate election in Alabama, referred to "reds and yellows fighting" in a campaign speech, a video shows.

Moore, the ultra-conservative former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, lamented racial divisions in his remarks on Sunday.

"We have blacks and whites fighting, reds and yellows fighting, Democrats and Republicans fighting, men and women fighting," he said.

"Red" and "yellow" are widely recognized as racial slurs.

I'm guessing that's the place the "red" and "yellow" are coming from with Judge Roy Moore.

Roy Moore is one of the most disgusting individuals on the planet. Only in the GOP could a disgraced judge keep getting work. Keep him very far away from any real power.
