It would be interesting to know how many of the people who voted against Moore actually rejected his politics more than his hypocrisy.

Not at all the result I expected.
Maybe now the 70% of Republican voters not totally in love with the President have seen thru him.

NAW!


Way to go Alabama!

The “fake news” defense begins. Whell and Zero no doubt believe every word, lol.

@realDonaldTrump
Wow, more than 90% of Fake News Media coverage of me is negative, with numerous forced retractions of untrue stories. Hence my use of Social Media, the only way to get the truth out. Much of Mainstream Meadia has become a joke! @foxandfriends

African American Voters Made Doug Jones a U.S. Senator in Alabama

Payback time to Doug Jones who prosecuted the KKK bombing of a church which killed four black girls in Alabama. The black people were energized to vote, perhaps Mr. Obama's robocalls were more effective that from the Moron in Chief. Great story, especially overcoming the voter suppression.

65% of white women and 74% of white men in #Alabama voted for a man that molested a 14 year old. I am starting to think its actually the baby boomer generation that has a fucking screw lose

Sane people do not vote for a child molester. #maga #trump #RoyMooreForSenate #doug jones pic.twitter.com/Nd5i1r51rL

A day after losing the Senate race in Alabama to Democrat Doug Jones, Roy Moore has issued a new statement refusing to concede the election until completion of the final count. But it wasn’t your typical post-election statement.

It was a four-minute fire-and-brimstone video about abortion, same-sex marriage, school prayer, sodomy and “the right of a man to claim to be a woman and vice versa.”

“We are indeed in a struggle to preserve our republic, our civilization and our religion and to set free a suffering humanity,” Moore said. “Today, we no longer recognize the universal truth that God is the author of our life and liberty. Abortion, sodomy and materialism have taken the place of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...

We have allowed Judges and justices to rule over our Constitution, and we have become slaves to their tyranny. Immorality sweeps over our land.”

Roy Moore clearly has no understanding of the Constitution. Or the pursuit of happiness.
