Rep. Barry Moore supports resolution denouncing horrors of socialism

Washington, D.C. — Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) released the following statement after voting in support of H.Con.Res.9, a concurrent resolution introduced by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-27) denouncing the horrors of socialism. Moore was an original co-sponsor of the resolution.

“Socialism has failed one hundred percent of the time it's been tried, and socialist policies have led to the death of millions across the globe,” said Moore. "China, North Korea, Cuba and the Soviet Union are just a few examples of why we must stand against any effort to implement socialist policies in the United States. I am proud to stand with my colleagues to denounce socialism in all its forms."

Background:
