Moore Reportedly Claimed Endorsement From Deceased Conservative Activist

By MATT SHUHAM Published SEPTEMBER 19, 2017 5:25 PM

Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore reportedly listed the deceased conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly under his “endorsements” webpage until Monday, despite the fact that the Eagle Forum founder died more than a year ago.

Schlafly disappeared from Moore’s website after RollCall asked to see a press release announcing her endorsement, the outlet reported Tuesday. Schlafly’s name had been listed next to the text: “Late President, Eagle Forum; inference of Ed Martin.”

According to the report, after RollCall first asked for the press release, Moore’s campaign initially said there wasn’t one, and instead provided a link to a statement Martin, Eagle Forum’s current president, gave Breitbart News regarding his own endorsement.

Martin told Breitbart about a speech he and Schlafly had seen Moore, the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, give to the group.

Hey Alabama, just think, if this psychopath gets into office, he will send your kids into war, gut your social safety nets further, and then sit in his big leather chair and have a seance with one dead person for guidance who also hated people if they thought for themselves, and that everyone is a heathen and should be punished for not following his or her definition of "god"..................think about it.
