Even Tuck Tucks site is reporting it:

http://dailycaller.com/2017/12/07/flashback-roy-moore-says-the-last-time-america-was-great-was-during-slavery/

Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore once said the last time America was great was during a period when slavery was still rampant.

Moore made the statement during a September rally when one of the few black members of the crowd asked the Senate candidate to describe the last time the country was great, according to an account from the Los Angeles Times.

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, Moore answered, also mentioning Americas history of racism and division.

Moore is currently battling accusations of sexual misconduct with minors after a bombshell Washington Post report dropped and a few other women came forward. Moore has denied all allegations, though Republican leadership has called on the former judge to step down.

Why is Tucker Carlson's site reporting on something that happened in September, which could actually damage Moore's chances in less than a week? He also said this at the same rally:

At the same event, Moore referred to Native Americans and Asian Americans as reds and yellows, and earlier this year he suggested the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were divine punishment.

I agree. The real answer is worse because he mentions slavery for no reason.

The funny thing is that tweet is 100% wrong. Jones did an AMA on reddit. One of his stances on guns is that he has no problem with making a CCW work like a driver's license but he wants the process to obtain it to be standardized across the country so it's not strict in one state but piss easy in another like it currently is. Then again, when does Trump care about facts.

Why do you libs keep doing this? Moore is despicable enough on his own, but you guys can't help yourselves but to engage in this ridiculous hyperbole that makes you look either illiterate or petty. Moore specifically says American was great despite slavery, so this is such a stupid thing to be focusing on that it makes people not take you seriously in other situations when you're right.

It's weird that he goes back to the slavery era for an example of America being great, though. He touts the family values of an era where black families were routinely split up.

Dimbulb comment. One day you'll learn the difference between a defense and an explanation. Guess that distinction wasn't required for your GED.

yes it is

question: when was the last time america was great

answer: *proceeds to talk about when we had slaves*

the only period of time he referenced was the time of slavery. that's the time where he thought families were together and america was best. you really have to work hard on the mental gymnastics here
