Dalton Dismukes, speaking on behalf of the Coleman campaign, accused Moore of \u201cold swamp tactics\u201d due to Moore\u2019s endorsement by the Club for Growth. Dismukes also derided Moore for bringing in outside groups to support him in the campaign, citing recent ads being run by the Club for Growth and the House Freedom Fund in support of Moore. Dismukes accused the Club for Growth of being \u201cThe original never-Trump, anti-farmer\u201d group, but stopped short of directly accusing Barry Moore of being either of these.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dismukes also claimed that Moore would never support term limits despite the fact that Moore term-limited himself when he served in the Alabama Legislature and signed the Term Limits Pledge prior to the Republican primary earlier this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jonathan Barbee, General Consultant and Media Director for the Moore Campaign, said in a statement:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cIt\u2019s sad that Mr. Dismukes has already resorted to mudslinging against Barry Moore, but it\u2019s the only thing he can do at this point. They\u2019ve already spent $2 million trying to buy a Congressional seat. The people in District 2 know Barry Moore. They know he\u2019s a man of integrity, character, and courage. They know he was the first elected official in the nation to endorse Candidate Donald J. Trump for President in 2015. They know Barry\u2019s always supported farmers and agribusiness across District 2; he even grew up on a farm and has a degree in agriculture. They know Barry chose to limit himself to eight years in the Alabama House rather than seek re-election because he believes in term limits. They know Barry Moore was \u201cthe most dependable conservative vote in the Alabama Legislature\u201d while he was there. They know he started and built his business from the ground up. They know he\u2019s a Veteran, and hasn\u2019t just put on a flight uniform for a photo op.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cBarry Moore has been endorsed by the Club for Growth, Eagle Forum, the American Workers Coalition, the Conservative Christians of Alabama, and the House Freedom Fund. The House Freedom Fund is the political action group of the House Freedom Caucus, the group of conservative legislators that have been President Trump\u2019s \u2018go-to\u2019 group for support in the House. The Freedom Caucus has been called the \u2018President\u2019s Men\u2019 because of their support, and two of their members have contributed to Barry\u2019s campaign. To try to use these endorsements to tar Barry Moore as a \u2018Never Trumper\u2019 isn&#8217;t just wrong, it\u2019s silly, especially since the Club for Growth has also endorsed Donald Trump for the 2020 election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cMr. Coleman\u2019s business largely makes its money from government contracts. He\u2019s never served in the military. His company agreed to a settlement in 2015 of $5 million in a fraud case against the Department of Defense, where the Department of Justice had estimated the total fraud at over $700 million. Coleman has insisted that his company did \u201cnothing wrong\u201d, despite agreeing to the settlement, and one of the company\u2019s managers going to prison. He tried to blame Obama, but good investigative reporting by AL.com and the Alabama Political Reporter showed that the fraud and corruption were all on Coleman\u2019s company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cMr. Coleman is a millionaire who has outspent Barry Moore by more than 10 to 1. Coleman has written himself some big checks, which is fine, but he\u2019s also received contributions from a number of out of state groups and Alabama corporate Big Mules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cBarry Moore is the best conservative choice to represent District 2 in Congress. Many conservative, free-market, small-government groups across Alabama and nationally know this. They\u2019ve taken a look at the candidates, and have chosen to help elect the candidate that will stand for these things, not fraud and corruption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cMr. Coleman has tried to buy this Congressional seat, instead of using a grassroots campaign as Barry Moore has. Barry Moore is running on his record as a conservative, a Christian, a small businessman, a Veteran, and a proud Trump supporter. Mr. Coleman\u2019s only record is littered with fraud, corruption, and swamp connections in D.C. His campaign is distorting the truth because they\u2019re trying to hide Coleman\u2019s swamp connections. If anybody in this race is using swamp tactics, it\u2019s the Coleman campaign.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For more information: www.BarryMooreforCongress.com or on Facebook @BarryMooreforCongress<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Barry Moore will face Jeff Coleman in the Republican runoff election on July 14th for the AL-2 Congressional seat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">###<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Press Contact:<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Jonathan Barbee, press@barbeemg.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.0.9&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#002e4f&#8221; min_height=&#8221;314px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;34px||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;3.26.6&#8243; width=&#8221;77.4%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|auto|3px|auto||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||14px|||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.26.6&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|700||on|||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#c6c6c6&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|700||on|||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#cccccc&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_6_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#e2e2e2&#8243; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; min_height=&#8221;48px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||2px|||&#8221; text_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1>Barry Moore for US Congress<\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:barrymooreforcongress@gmail.com\">Contact the Campaign<\/a><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|700||on|||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#c6c6c6&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1em&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|700||on|||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#cccccc&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_6_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#e2e2e2&#8243; header_6_font_size=&#8221;11px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||2px|||&#8221; text_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221;]&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6>Mail a donation:<\/h6>\n<h6>Barry Moore for Congress\u00a0 |\u00a0 561 County Road 623\u00a0 | Enterprise, AL 36330<\/h6>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.26.6&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|700||on|||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#d1d1d1&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|700||on|||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#b5b5b5&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;22px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;44%&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; min_height=&#8221;30px&#8221; height=&#8221;25px&#8221; max_height=&#8221;25px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;6px||2px|7px||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||23px|0px||&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#bfbfbf&#8221; text_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221;]Paid for by Barry Moore for Congress<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BARRY MOORE CAMPAIGN STAFF RESPONDS TO COLEMAN ATTACKS,\u201cCOLEMAN\u2019S CAMPAIGN HAS TO DISTORT THE TRUTH TO HIDE HIS OWNSWAMP CONNECTIONS\u201d Enterprise, AL &#8211; Campaign staff for Barry Moore, the Republican candidate in the AL-2 Congressional race, responded to attacks from his runoff opponent\u2019s campaign manager Wednesday.
