Judge Roy Moore is getting some help this morning from Jerry Falwell Jr. as Alabama voters head to the polls in today’s special election:
AL voters are too smart to let the media & Estab Repubs & Dems tell them how to vote. I hope the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd is alive/well in AL. “A southern man don’t need them around anyhow & Watergate does not bother me, does your conscience bother you, tell me true?@MooreSenate

Alrighty then:
A. The reference in Sweet Home Alabama was made as a rebuttal to blanket judgment not a middle finger. “We won’t judge all of you by Watergate. Don’t judge us because of the problems with race in the south.”
B. Lynyrd Skynyrd were from Jacksonville, FL. https://t.co/aSwKqqMYvy

Remind me again, @JerryFalwellJr, which book of the Bible talks about the fruit of the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd? https://t.co/ePv6Jx0e75

*looks for bible quote in support of a man like moore*
*sweats*
*quotes pandering southern rock karaoke classic as if its scripture instead* https://t.co/QtZEDfTkk0— John DeVore (@JohnDeVore) December 12, 2017
Wow. So much weirdness in this, it's hard to sort through it. A Falwell quoting Skynyrd? Missing the point of the song? And most strangely, equating Moore's pedophilia with Watergate and then saying it SHOULDN'T bother people? https://t.co/hiElQjXf5c

Evangelical leader Franklin Graham weighed in as well:
Praying for Roy Moore.
