“Join Alabama's next United States Senator, Judge Roy Moore and other special guests for the Election Eve ‘Drain the Swamp’ rally,” stated a post on the candidate’s Facebook page.

The post lists the location for the event as 5980 Fortner St. in Dothan, Alabama, which is the address of Celebration at Jones Crossing, an event venue owned by Tim and Sherryl Walker, according to its Facebook page and a local newspaper, the Dothan Eagle.

Sherryl Walker is also the executive director of Southeast Alabama Child Advocacy Center, an organization that offers a “child friendly facility where children come to tell their story of abuse,” according to its website. The center specifically helps children who have been sexually abused.

Some people criticized the idea that Walker would agree to host a campaign event for Moore even though she works with victims of child abuse.
