"I'm moving on and waiting for the next attack", says candidate for Atlanta mayor Felicia Moore after returning some campaign contributions.

Moore says she returned the monies after one of her supporters said in a social media post that all of Atlanta's mayors since 1979 were corrupt. All of those mayors were black.

It all started when the Instagram post caught the attention of Moore's top challenger, former Mayor Kasim Reed.

The former mayor said during a Tuesday news conference about Moore supporter Lee Clevenger "He is anti Union. He is anti LGBTQ. So the question for Miss Moore is how could you stand beside him? As he ridiculed people that have created the path of opportunity that you now walk down? ”

Moore and Reed are in a field of 14 candidates running to be Atlanta's next mayor. The election is on November 2.
