Alabama Senate Republican nominee Roy Moore gave two interviews in 2011 in which he said the amendments to the U.S. Constitution after the 10th Amendment has caused problems, quoted Hitler and left open the possibility of new evidence behind the cause of the 2001 terror attacks, according to a report Sunday by CNN.

CNN said it obtained audio files of the interviews Moore gave with what the network described as "a conspiracy-driven radio show" known as the Aroostook Watchmen show, which was hosted by two Maine residents.

CNN posted three of the audio clips on its website.

In 2011, when CNN reported the interviews took place, Moore was president of the Foundation for Moral Law. He would be elected as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court the next year.

Abolishing the amendments after the 10th amendment would abolish slavery (13th Amendment), prohibited denial of right to vote by race (15th Amendment) as well as the right to vote for women (19th Amendment).

A Moore campaign spokesman, Brett Doster, told CNN that Moore's comments were misinterpreted.

"Once again, the media is taking a discussion about the overall framework for the separation of powers as laid out in the constitution to twist Roy Moore's position on specific issues," Doster said in an emailed statement, according to CNN. "Roy Moore does not now nor has he ever favored limiting an individual's right to vote, and as a judge, he was noted for his fairness and for being a champion of civil rights.

"Judge Moore has expressed concern, as many other conservatives have, that the historical trend since the ratification of the Bill of Rights has been for federal empowerment over state empowerment."

That appears to be one of the points Moore was making in speaking against the amendments that follow what's known as the Bill of Rights.

As about removing the amendments after the first 10, Moore said in the audio clip, "That would eliminate many problems. You know, people don't understand how some of these amendments have tried to wreck the form of government that our forefathers intended. Specifically, I think it's the 17th Amendment on the election of senators."

The 17th Amendment, ratified in 1913, gave each state's citizens the right to elect its two U.S. senators. Previously, the senators had been chosen by state legislatures.

One of the show's host, recalling his military service, said to Moore, "You couldn't get on my submarine with the kind of documentation that this president (referring to Barack Obama) offers as proof positive of who he is."

Moore responded, "Well, that's a problem, you know. Hitler once said, 'If you tell a big enough lie long enough, people tend to believe it.' That's the problem. We've got to look at the simple facts of the case and we need to recognize we need a new administration in Washington. Based on party, we need to elect people who uphold the Constitution, not undermine it."

On the 2001 terror attacks in New York and Washington, the show's host asked Moore, ""Would you be interested in new hearings into what really happened on 9/11?"

"I think they need to explore that, yes," Moore responded. "It's something that's already done and we have to live with the consequences. But I know what you're talking about. If there's any new evidence, we always go back to the truth. If there's anything that hasn't been revealed, we need to know about it."

Doster told CNN that Moore "believes that Islamic terrorists were responsible for the 9/11 attacks, has made rebuilding the military one of his key campaign purposes, and is the only Senate candidate with experience serving in a combat zone."

Moore served in the Army during the Vietnam War.
