Failed Senate Candidate Roy Moore Advises Church To Remain Open
Read Time:1 Minute, 22 Second
After losing in his bid to run for a Senate seat again, former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice Roy Moore is riding into battle once more; this time against measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
Moore appeared Thursday at the Life Tabernacle Church in Central City, Louisiana, which has been flouting a statewide ban on gatherings of more than 10 people. He vowed to support and protect Pastor Tony Spell, who is facing charges for violating the order, NBC News reports. “There is no more clear violation of the First Amendment than this prohibition to assemble in a church,” Moore told dozens of parishioners from the pulpit:
“We’ve got to remember the First Amendment exists because we can worship God the way we want to and no government can come in and tell you you can’t assemble in church.”
He slammed Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards for not labeling religious institutions essential services, as the governors of Florida and Texas have done. Moore said he would apply to practice law in Louisiana and serve as co-counsel for Spell and the church, reports the Advocate.
Spell, who held a church service hours after being hit with six misdemeanor charges, says the pandemic is “politically motivated” and the faithful do not fear COVID-19. “The virus is attracted to fear, and we are fearless people,” he told reporters Thursday.

Of ALL of the lawyers this idiot could have had represent him, he has Roy – pedophile – Moore. He probably could not get anybody else to represent him. This guy is going to get ME killed due to their church being no more than five miles from my home. And you know if they are this pompous and arrogant about their church attendance that they are careless in the grocery stores. Disgusted beyond pale.
Talking about batshit crazy. Roy Moore is the supreme Batshit craziest fool on earth.
Ha Ha Ha!!! Good Mike, and I wish the same on ole Judge Moore.
Go to church ROY! Go every day. Greet the people, they are potential voters after all, and shake every hand and give them a hug. Afterwards don’t forget to pick your nose.
Well then, I think Roy Moore should get his wish for the church to remain open and he should be allowed to attend and get infected with this all he wants. Bless his heart.
