Roy Moore backs Missouri candidate who slammed feminists

KANSAS CITY, Mo. � Defeated Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore said he�s endorsing a longshot Missouri candidate who recently drew attention for a Facebook post criticizing feminists.

Moore, a Republican, lost the Alabama Senate race to Democrat Doug Jones in December amid accusations of sexual misconduct with teenage girls.

The Kansas City Star reported Moore wrote a letter endorsing Courtland Sykes, a Republican seeking to defeat Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.

Moore called Sykes a man of vision and principle who has impeccable character and Christian faith.

In response, Sykes said it was an honor to be supported by one of America�s �most courageous and legendary conservative figures.�

In January, Sykes drew attention after posting that feminists are �she-devils� who redefined womanhood to �suit their own nasty, snake-filled heads.�
