Former Alabama Judge Roy Moore wasn’t moved by President Trump’s urging that he not run for senate in Alabama (again).
In an interview with the Associated Press, Moore said he has not yet made a decision about whether he will run against his former opponent Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) in 2020 — though he has made strong indications on Twitter and in press interviews that he plans to run — and shrugged off Trump’s Wednesday morning remarks.
“I think the president is coming under pressure from people in Washington, scared that I will run for the Senate, scared I will win and know I can win,” Moore told the AP. “Everybody knows I can win and that’s what’s worrying in Washington.”
Moore also told the AP he will announce his decision in June, which The Hill was first to report on Tuesday.
Trump tweeted on Wednesday about the “devastating” consequences that the state of Alabama might face if a Democrat won the election again in 2020 and said flatly: “Roy Moore cannot win.”
Moore fell to Jones in the special election for former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ old senate seat in 2017. Trump endorsed Moore in that election, despite several women who came forward during the election alleging Moore had made sexual advances toward them when they were in their teens and he was in his 30s.
“Everybody knows I can win and that’s what’s worrying in Washington.”
Why? Aren’t rethugs the same everywhere?
Please proceed…
His face is his mask and his mask is his face; Trump is just pissed that there is someone else on this Earth whose face reveals the evil inside as transparently as with His Glorious Self.
Oh please do so…everyone is assuming Jones has no chance at winning, this would make it into a horse race (and that’s a sad statement about Alabama). A national election where Republicans are supporting the likes of Steve King, Moore, and Trump really should help the Democrats take a lot of seats across the nation.
“Everybody knows I can win. I even wrote it in a middle school yearbook in the 70s.”
