“Embarrassing” is the best way to describe former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore’s latest public performance.
His appearance on Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Who is America” consisted of Moore being wanded with an Israeli military “pedophile” detector. All said, the appearance wasn’t close to the most embarrassing the show has seen, but this still isn’t a proud moment for him.
Moore is a stain on Alabama, Alabama Republicans and Republicans in general. If he wants all the things he claims to hold dear to succeed, he needs to stand down. It doesn’t really matter what you think of the guy, the allegations against him, or even his decades of public life. Moore is a clown and a cancer within the GOP. He needs to remove himself from the battlefield so he can stop hurting his side.
All of this is predicated, of course, on Moore caring more about his values than he does about standing in front of a camera, and I am not sure that is believable at this point.
