Answering a question asked of him by an African American. The GOP must be so proud.

I wonder if that's the time trump thinks of as America last being great was also. I've tried asking that question on this forum of trump voters - when was America last great? - but can never get a straight answer.
Here is what Moore said, in answer to the question:
"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."

He did not say, nor did he even suggest that we were great because we had slavery.

This is how you Leftists always twist the meaning of anything any conservative says. You have no shame!

We're all racists now. Right?

The OP did just make it up!

What does Cliven Bundy have to do with this? I'm betting that comment was taken completely out of context also. It's what the Left always do.

No, 15 is too old for him, he likes them to be 14.

Nope, Bundy's comment was word for word. He said in a recorded interview that he thought blacks were better off under slavery

You apparently lack the skill to comprehend. You completely ignore the fact that "even though we had slavery" was an interjection, not the main point of his statement.

Yes you can make this stuff up and the OP did. The original quote said nothing of the sort. I guess the current sexual accusations aren't quite enough for liberals so they have to make up complete lies in hopes of winning. Sadly for you libs, the Dem running against him screwed up and put out a racist ad which people are upset about. That's why now we see this desperation and fake news.

This is all meaningless with a president who has opening admitted to abusing women and has at least twelve accusers who are being ignored in office.
Moore must step down and Trump resign.

The left does that openly now. They have called for segregation on college campuses and support the values of slavery. They're not interested in equal but want special rights.

LOL, if people had that big a problem with Trump "abusing" women, he wouldn't have been elected since those accusations were out before the election. Too bad. Try something else next week.
