During President Donald Trump’s rally to show support for RINO Mitch McConnell stooge, lifelong DC lobbyist and swamp creature Luther Strange, who the president endorsed, even though many of his supporters like Sebastian Gorka, Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin, and many others endorsed legendary Ten Commandments Judge Roy Moore, the president admitted that he may have made a “mistake’ with the endorsement.
“I might have made a mistake,” President Trump told the Alabama crowd before the special election on September 26 to fill the seat vacated when former Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions became attorney general. “I’ll be honest, I might have made a mistake,” he said for emphasis.
Luther Strange, a former Alabama attorney general, was appointed by corrupt Alabama Governor Robert Bentley in February, whom Strange was supposed to be investigating for corruption. Strange bolted a press gaggle on Thursday when asked about the suspicious appointment.
Breitbart News, who had been a huge supporter of then-candidate Donald Trump, even during the 2016 GOP primary when there were much more conservative candidates in the running — like Ted Cruz — was denied entry to the Trump-Luther Strange rally on Friday night, according to Breitbart TV editor Jeff Poor:
Bannon inbound to join Palin and Gorka, Ben Carson's endorsement is in the bag.
From a source close to Bannon: "Steve is coming to Alabama to support President Trump against the Washington establishment and Mitch McConnell. Steve views Judge Moore as a fierce advocate of Trump and the values he campaigned on."
Allies of Strange and Republicans close to the White House dispute that premise, and Trump points out Strange offered his support for Obamacare repeal with no strings attached, whereas Roy Moore has said he won't support anything less than full repeal.
Trump last night seemed conflicted about his Strange endorsement, suggesting he'd made a mistake and would support Moore if he wins. Moore leads Strange by 9 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
Breitbart has gone all in for Moore and is doing its national radio show on Sirius XM from Alabama today through Wednesday.
Multiple senior Breitbart editors are in Alabama, including Washington editor Matthew Boyle, London editor Raheem Kassam, the editor-in-chief of Breitbart London, and Jeff Poor, an Alabama native and the head of Breitbart TV.
"As of now, everyone is working on the Alabama race," Boyle wrote in a Breitbart Slack channel, per CNN's Oliver Darcy. "If anyone has any questions please let me know."
I notice now that Rand Paul is supporting Roy Moore too.
