A comedian with a film crew in tow from the Jimmy Kimmel TV show crashed a Judge Roy Moore speech last night at a local Baptist church, apparently fooling media reporters covering the Alabama U.S. Senate campaign into thinking he was a legitimate Moore supporter. In the meantime, Kimmel and the GOP candidate are having a war of words on Twitter.
Moore was on the way to winning the December 12 special election by a landslide in the red state before allegations emerged that he allegedly engaged in inappropriate behavior with teenage girls when he was in his 30s. Moore has vehemently denied the allegations that go back 40 years or so.
AL.com identifies the heckler and pretend Moore fan at the Mobile-area church as comedian Tony Barbieri, who often performs on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as a character named Jake Byrd.
