Mitch McConnell Folds on Opposition to Roy Moore: ‘We’re Going to Let the People of Alabama Decide’

How gracious of the old turt.

Breitbart: MOBILE, Alabama — Conservative Republican Judge Roy Moore is steaming toward victory in Alabama’s U.S. Senate special election on Dec. 12, and as it appears less and less likely that radical leftist Democrat Doug Jones has a chance Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has backed off his ardent criticisms of Moore.

Appearing on ABC News’ This Week with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, McConnell dropped his previous call for Moore to “step aside” as the GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate—backing down into his new position which is that the people of Alabama should decide who wins.

“Well, I think — we’re going to let the people of Alabama decide a week from Tuesday who they want to send to the Senate. And then we’ll address the matter appropriately,” McConnell said, insinuating that he would back a Senate Ethics Committee investigation of the allegations against Moore when Moore wins on Dec. 12. “I have already said in the past that I thought this was a matter that would have to be considered by the committee. Ultimately, it would be up to them to make that decision. And they’ll make it, depending upon whether Judge Moore ends up coming to the Senate.”

Here is a full transcript of what McConnell said next:

SNIP: You don’t really have to go read it. Basically, he just blinks slowly and licks the side of the aquarium… And he’s still taller than George Stephanopoulos.

  1. “How gracious of the old turd.”
    There. Fixed it for ya. Yer welcome.

    But really, he hasn’t changed his stance on Moore (or less). He’s just weasel worded it to “allow” the people of Alabama their vote, then STILL railroad Moore on any……or no…..ethics charges.
    Turtle McConnell needs to have a party in his honor……a necktie party.

  2. The turtle trying desperately to right himself, perfect!
    All those turtles will be trying the same thing very soon.
    May we all witness this sooner than later!
    Pathetic libidiots, all (RINO’s included)!

  3. And to think, the worthless testudine in a somewhat human body could have saved donors $30+ million wasted on trying to install Luther Strange if he had only been so magnanimous before the primary. How nice of this asshole to now let the voters of Alabama decide who they want to represent them in the senate.

  4. Who really has the power , we the people do , when we have good info and the truth.
    The MSM the deep state the rino,s and many others will still keep trying to hide the truth from us , we have to keep fighting them and not let them get us down . That is what they are trying to do ; divide us into different camps and pick us off one by one.
    They hate us , and the big goal in their plans is to take down President Trump.
    Stay the course and stick with our Leader , he has our backs and we need to have his.

  5. It sounds to me more like he’s saying, “Send him to the Senate Alabama and we’re going to tie him to the back of the truck and drag him through the mud.”
    They will never stop hating voters and trying to pay them back by screwing them and the people they elect.

  6. What is there to investigate?

    There is no crime. If there was, wouldn’t he be under investigation right now?

    Why does he need to win the vote of the people, then win the vote of the Senate? He’s Alabama’s representative to Washington, not the other way around. The people decide, not them.

  7. Trump carried AL 63% to Killery’s 35% in the GE. He carried AL 43% to Cruz’s 21% in the Super Tuesday primary. The good people of AL will not be fooled by the GOPe, McConnell, or their 30 millions. It does make you wonder just how stupid McConnell and his cohort in D.C. are. The D’s have got nothing on the R’s when it comes to promoting fools and idiots to positions of leadership.

  8. In the 70’s, riding in my dads truck down a gravel road, I spotted what was at least a 3’ diameter turtle carcass hanging on s barb wire fence. Big snapper drying in the sun.

    So I ask the question?

    Dad said snapper was nothing but a coward that attacks and was useless.

    That’s why it was on the fence.

    Once I got my first .22? Easy targets.

    ‘Nuff said.
