As a reminder that President Joe Biden criticized his predecessor, former President Donald Trump’s supporters, referring to them as “garbage,” Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) showed up at his polling precinct in Enterprise, AL, to vote by driving a garbage truck.
Moore, who has been in the waste removal business for more than two decades, told Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5 the gesture was also a reminder that today was an opportunity to take out the trash in Washington, D.C.
“The company that I actually founded is a garbage company,” he said. “And so with the recent comments by President Biden, and I figured, man, why not remind everybody that today is the true day to take out the trash and to show up? The people who really hate us in Washington, D.C. — we need to send a message that you may think we’re garbage, but it’s still ‘we the people.” And so I’m going to pull up in one of our garbage trucks and vote. It’s just a friendly reminder. I thought this is a great opportunity to remind people what Washington, D.C. really thinks of everyday America.”
Moore is the incumbent Republican congressman for Alabama’s second congressional district. However, after court-mandated congressional redistricting, Moore is running as the GOP nominee as a heavy favorite in Alabama’s first congressional district.
