Disgraced Roy Moore Says He Wants to 'Go Back' in Time Before Gay Marriage, LGBTQ Rights

Disgraced former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama Roy Moore still has political aspirations and made comments last week about the state of the United States, noting that he wishes he could go back in time to the 60s or 70s before gay marriage and LGBTQ rights existed, according to a report from the Alabama Political Reporter.

Moore, who is running for the Republican nomination for the Senate seat held by Democrat Doug Jones, recently spoke to the Huntsville Republican Men's Breakfast group, saying he wonders what his classmates at West Point who died in the Vietnam War would have to say "if they could see our country today."

"We have got to go back to what we did back in the sixties and seventies back to a moral basis," Moore said, according to the Alabama Political Reporter. "We did not have a national healthcare system. You know when Obama passed this thing rising all our costs and business started going down the tube everybody said it was going to be repealed. You never hear anybody in Congress talk about it now...

"...We did not have same-sex marriage. We did not have transgender rights. Sodomy was illegal. These things were just not around when my classmates and I went to West Point and Vietnam," he later added. "Back then there was no mention of socialism. Today we find socialism on the table in Congress. We have Democrats, the squad, arguing that we should be a socialist nation. They don't even understand what happened in Argentina. They don't understand that we are a great nation because we are based on capitalism and growth.

The Alabama Political Reporter goes on to report that Moore said: "We have drag queens teaching kindergarten children in this state and this community....in Huntsville in Mobile they taught kids and they dress them up in drag. Where does this come from? Gender identity is being taught in California to young kids and parents have no choice but to let their kids be taught that."

Moore lost the Alabama Senate seat two years ago amid allegations of sexual misconduct involving teen girls, calling the election results "a fraud." Moore, who has long stood against same-sex marriage and abortion, has vehemently denied the allegations that were first made in 2017 when a number of women accused him of pursuing romantic or sexual relationships with them while they were in their teens and he was an assistant to the district attorney in his 30s. Two women accused him of assault or molestation.
