Moore was a leading voice in the anti-Obama birther movement , which promoted the debunked conspiracy theory that Obama is not a U.S. citizen . Moore does not believe that Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen . He has repeatedly promoted the conspiracy theory since 2008 and through at least December 2016 . Asked if he still questioned Obama 's citizenship in August 2017 , the Moore campaign declined to answer questions from the media . As chief justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama , he opined that Alabama 's secretary of state should " investigate the qualifications of those candidates who appeared on the 2012 general-election ballot " . In 2011 , Moore appeared twice on the '' Aroostook Watchmen '' radio program , a conspiracy-theory show hosted by two Maine men who promote " birther " falsehoods as well as " false flag " conspiracy theories about the September 11 attacks , the Sandy Hook massacre , Boston bombing , and other mass shootings and terrorist attacks
