Bannon will speak Monday at a Moore which will also feature “Duck Dynasty” personality Phil Robertson. Moore is facing current U.S. Senator Luther Strange who held a rally on Friday headlined by President Trump. Both candidates are embroiled in controversies ahead of Tuesday’s vote. Alabama Public Radio broke the news on NPR that the mom-partisan Campaign Legal Center filed a formal complaint that Moore’s charity, The Foundation for Moral Law, broke IRS campaign laws by promoting his campaign.
