CNN has just unearthed a 2005 interview featuring Roy Moore, the conservative front-runner in the race to fill Jeff Sessions’ senate seat in Alabama, and it’s pretty damning. But will it make a difference in the upcoming election?
“Homosexual conduct should be illegal, yes,” Moore is heard telling Bill Press on C-SPAN2’s After Words while promoting his book So Help Me God.
The disgraced Alabama Supreme Court chief justice, who, in 2015, was removed from his post for refusing to honor the SCOTUS ruling on marriage equality, was talking about Lawrence v. Texas, the 2003 landmark SCOTUS decision where the court ruled state laws banning sodomy were unconstitutional.

“Just because it’s done behind closed doors, it can still be prohibited by state law,” he argued. Then he asked Press, “Do you know that bestiality, the relationship between man and beast, is prohibited in every state?”
“Did I ask you about having sex with a cow?” Press replied, to which Moore said the two things were “the same thing.”
“No, it’s not,” Press, incredulous, fired back. “You mean homosexuality is the same thing as bestiality?”
“It is a moral precept upon which this country was founded,” Moore responded.
When asked about the newly unearthed tape, a spokesperson for Moore’s campaign declined to comment or respond to CNN’s inquiry about the candidate’s current position on homosexuality.
Considering just a few months ago, in February 2017, he appeared, for the fifth time, on Kevin “Kill the gays” Swanson’s extremist radio show to talk about the evils of homosexuality, we’d say it probably hasn’t evolved too much.

He has probably tried both.
But he and his pal Rev. Kevin “Cow Poo” Swanson are certainly obsessed with cows!

Sorry, was referring to moores goatse sex practices . I know he does it because his head is so far up his own ass for so long. Not a reference to a donkey…also that could apply to moore also

First – How would Roy Moore know?
Second – Roy Moore protests too much, which is revealing.
This is his issue and Roy returns to it often.
Most of us know that sexually well adjusted men don’t obsess on the sex habits loving consenting adults do to express their affection for one another.

Yes…

If I had to be on an island with either the cow would be welcome, and it would be simply bovine.

Looks like the cow pic is the “WTF” response to this Christian douchebag.

I presume he knows this because he himself has had sex with a cow?

Well said

Just another self hating closet case pushing his baggage on the rest of us.

I will never ever ever understand why religious people are obsessed with strangers’ sex lives. It’s so creepy. And to bring a cow into it just makes me sick inside. There’s something serial-killer-dark-hearted-it-puts-the-lotion-on-its-skin about people like this guy. I guess it’s why I’m never surprised when they’re later embroiled in some weird scandal.

Just how did Roy Moore get “cow”tapulted into mainstream America? Just look at that pic of the lovely cow alongside Roy Moore’s photo. The cow is CLEARLY upset just thinking of having sex with Moore. Said the cow, “Even us cross dressing bovines have standards. Sex with Roy Moore? Oh NO NO NO. THAT would be an “udder” disgrace….for the cow. IMHO. OK, I’m out of here. I’m going to the MOOvies”.

And he would know this because?…
