Sacha Baron Cohen really fooled some big names in right-wing politics while shooting his new show.
Far-right politician Roy Moore was apparently duped into participating in Cohen’s upcoming series Who Is America?, where the comedian went undercover for a year to interview unwitting politicians. While we don’t know if Moore will actually be featured in the show, the disgraced former judge confirmed he was interviewed by Cohen in a statement obtained by NBC News.

Roy Moore is bad at riding horses, and on Tuesday night, he was bad at winning elections.
Moore lost the Senate race in Alabama to Democrat Doug Jones and a lot of people were happy about it. Moore’s win came as a surprise, as Democrats haven’t fared well in Alabama elections for about a quarter decade.
But back to the horse thing. Here is the Republican candidate — who was endorsed by Donald Trump, even though he’s been accused of sexual misconduct by nine women and said America was last “great” when slavery was legal — trying to play cowboy earlier in the day. Read more…

Hooooly crap, Doug Jones did it.
On Tuesday night, he became the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in Alabama since 1992, back when Kris Kross was still a thing.
Looks like saying homophobic and racist things — along with being accused of sexually assaulting teenagers — didn’t work out too well for Republican Roy Moore. The GOP’s advantage in the Senate has now been trimmed to 51-49, which is why the party is rushing to put the finishing touches on its tax plan.
Jones supporters, after freaking out about that damn New York Times needle, couldn’t contain their joy after several news outlets called the race for the Democrat. That included Hillary Clinton and Republican Sen. Jeff Flake. Read more…

Outside of a Roy Moore rally, the father of a gay daughter lost to suicide speaks up

Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore once said he thinks “homosexual conduct should be illegal.” He’s also said plenty of other racist and intolerant things — along with being accused of sexually assaulting teenage girls.
Well, one man wasn’t going to take it. Nathan Mathis, an Alabama farmer who lost his gay daughter to suicide, stood outside of Roy Moore’s rally on Monday night, and spoke out against the candidate’s homophobic comments.
Here’s the video, from Vaughn Hillyard of NBC News:

Alabama heads to the polls Tuesday, and the Senate race between Democrat Doug Jones and beleaguered Republican candidate Roy Moore is exceptionally tight with just hours to go.
No Democrat has won an election for Senate (or even governor) in Alabama in nearly two decades, but the litany of allegations of sexual misconduct against Roy Moore have helped push Jones to a ten point lead, if Fox News’ latest poll is to be believed. Other pundits believe the race is too close to call.
There’s a lot at stake and the country is watching — and numerous public figures came out in a last ditch attempt to thwart Moore on Monday night. Read more…

Roy Moore thinks America was great before the ’60s — the 1860s.
Yes, before the Senate candidate was famous for allegations of sexual assault, he was renowned for his blatant racism and homophobia. A quote from a September story in the Los Angeles Times surfaced and went viral on Thursday, and it’s a doozy.
“In response to a question from one of the only African Americans in the audience — who asked when Moore thought America was last ‘great’ — Moore acknowledged the nation’s history of racial divisions, but said: ‘I think it was great at the time when families were united — even though we had slavery — they cared for one another…. Our families were strong, our country had a direction.'” Read more…
