Robocall seeking to discredit Roy Moore accusers seen as anti-Semitic

WASHINGTON (JTA) — A made-up reporter named “Bernie Bernstein” called an Alabama pastor searching for women to provide “damaging remarks” against Roy Moore.

The voicemail was an apparent bid to discredit allegations that the Republican Senate candidate had sexual contact with minors many years ago.

In what sounded like a robocall, the man left a voicemail message with Pastor Al Moore claiming to be a reporter for the Washington Post. He offered women money in exchange for allegations, which he said would not be well vetted, the local CBS affiliate WKRG-TV reported Tuesday. The caller’s Jewish-sounding name and strong, nasally Northeastern accent prompted accusations of anti-Semitism.

"Hi, this is Bernie Bernstein, I’m a reporter for the Washington Post calling to find out if anyone at this address is a female between the ages of 54 to 57 years old willing to make damaging remarks about candidate Roy Moore for a reward of between $5,000 and $7,000,” the man said.

making them think it is a Jewish conspiracy to get their boy.

Modern day republicans are a virus and that virus is going to exterminate the human race.
