Count the White House out of Roy Moore’s quest to challenge the results of the special election in Alabama.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday that Moore “should have already” conceded to Sen.-elect Doug Jones (D-AL).
While President Trump endorsed Moore in his Senate bid, Trump accepted the election results Tuesday evening and called Jones on Wednesday to congratulate him on his win.
“They had a great conversation, had a positive conversation,” Sanders said. “He likes Doug Jones and looks forward to meeting him in person and hopes that he will come and follow through on his commitment to work with the President on some things that they agree on.”
When asked if Moore should concede to Jones, Sander said “it should have already taken place.”
“Look, the President has called and congratulated Doug Jones and expressed his willingness to work with him and meet with him when he arrives in Washington,” she said.
Jones beat Moore by 1.5 percentage points, according to unofficial results, but Moore has refused to concede to his opponent. On Wednesday night, his campaign released a video of Moore suggesting that provisional and military ballots could still change the outcome of the results. The Alabama secretary of state has not yet certified the ballot results, but has already said that it’s unlikely that Moore could win given the current margin of the race.
I think Doug Jones should get a really big map of Alabama and show which counties went blue and have it in the background at every press briefing and keep mentioning his YUGE win and refer to Roy Moore as “Crooked Roy Moore.”
Not while there’s still a chance that Angry OT Killer Gawd will work one of his miracles and magically change the results. Gawd wanted the molester to win and he will not be mocked.
Also, all you heathens wearing cotton-poly blends are gonna get it, too.
They know the longer Loser Moore stays in the public’s eye, the longer he reminds people that Trump backed a teen diddling loser.
I don’t think most people got a sense of how whacky Moore is. I hope he doesn’t give up any time soon.
First Omarosa, and now this …
You just know someone at CNN will call it a pivot.
In other words, “The President was right to endorse Luther Strange, and his later endorsement of Roy Moore didn’t mean anything and should be forgotten.”
