“We were torn apart in the Civil War – brother against brother, North against South, party against party. What changed?” Moore asked in footage provided to The Hill by a Republican monitoring the race

“Now we have blacks and whites fighting, reds and yellows fighting, Democrats and Republicans fighting, men and women fighting. What’s going to unite us? What’s going to bring us back together? A president? A Congress? No. It’s going to be God.”

Moore’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment about his language.

The judge is no stranger to controversial comments – reporters have dug up a handful of eye-popping comments from Moore’s past, even as his campaign sits in strong position ahead of next week’s Senate GOP primary runoff.

Last week, CNN reported that Moore implied that the 9/11 terror attacks could have been caused by a lack of religious faith.

Moore leads Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) in all recent public polling of the runoff. The winner of that contest will advance to the general election and be expected to beat a Democrat to serve out the rest of Attorney General Jeff Sessions‘s term.

He’s just standing up for our cultural heritage.
