What a time to be alive.
What in the world did I just watch on @jaketapper's show? That was bizarre.

Jake Tapper himself doesn’t seem entirely sure:

Yeah, that’s about where we’re at, too.
Does Roy Moore think that homosexual conduct should be illegal?

Roy Moore spokesman Ted Crockett just told @jaketapper that Roy Moore ‘probably’ believes homosexual conduct should be illegal.

But wait! There’s more!
This Roy Moore spokesman on CNN thinks by LAW you have to "swear on a Bible" to be an elected official in the US.
That's not how this works. Not even a little bit.

Roy Moore's spokesperson apparently didn't know you could take the oath of office on something other than the Bible.
— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) December 12, 2017
He seemed to think a Muslim couldn't take the oath of office because he mistakenly believes it's required to be taken on the Bible. When Tapper corrected him he just kinda stared at the camera in silence.

Holy moly.
Video: The end of this @JakeTapper-Moore Campaign spox interview featured the claim that Moore still believes homosexuality is a sin and didn't know you could be sworn in on something other than a Bible. Unreal #ALSen pic.twitter.com/3XwBYw7pG4

Holy. Moly.
My goodness that Moore spokesman who was just on with @JakeTapper. Wowza

That interview was something else. I’m speechless.

The swearing in on a Bible convo was interesting in a horrifying way.
— Beth Bryson (@maddezmom) December 12, 2017
That was the most batshit crazy interview I’ve seen – at least this week. Which is saying something.

Update:
Moore strategist, asked on MSNBC just now whether Moore thinks homosexuality should be illegal: "no, but he disagrees with it."

How to square the contradictory statements from Moore campaign surrogates? Well, let's roll the tape. pic.twitter.com/0QmMpmlAmU

Roy Moore has clarified though that he does not think gay people should be executed https://t.co/ciTWlrP45E

Phew! That was a close one!
