Comedian Ellen DeGeneres mocked GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore over comments his wife made about him having a Jewish attorney.

“Happy first night of Hanukkah to Roy Moore’s attorney and everyone else celebrating!” DeGeneres wrote on Twitter.

At a final rally before Tuesday’s election, Moore’s wife, Kayla, denied claims that her husband is antisemitic by saying that they have a lawyer who “is a Jew.”

“Fake news would tell you that we don’t care for Jews,” she said. “One of our attorneys is a Jew.”

She added that the couple has “very close friends” who are Jewish.

Roy Moore, who is facing off against Democrat Doug Jones for an Alabama Senate seat on Tuesday, has been accused of sexual misconduct toward teenage girls.

He has also been accused of antisemitism after making comments that suggested billionaire Democratic donor George Soros, who is Jewish, is going to hell because of his religion.

“No matter how much money he’s got, he’s still going to the same place that people who don’t recognize God and morality and accept his salvation are going,” Moore said. “And that’s not a good place.”
