BIRMINGHAM, Alabama — As the White House is backing off ardent support for Luther Strange in next month’s U.S. Senate primary runoff, Strange has resorted to falsified direct attacks on his surging opponent, former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice Judge Roy Moore.
On Twitter Thursday afternoon, the flailing Strange tweeted out a snippet of Moore’s Thursday morning interview with nationally syndicated radio host Laura Ingraham falsely claiming that Moore attacked President Donald J. Trump. In his tweet, Strange called for Moore to apologize to Trump.
The only problem with Strange’s latest phony attack? The interview, and Moore’s comments, were anything but an attack on President Trump. He was, throughout the interview as Breitbart News has reported, offering glowing praise for the president, pledging to “Make America Great Again,” and offering his support for the “great ideas” that Trump has. Moore, throughout his Ingraham interview, detailed how he is actually supportive of the Trump agenda, whereas Strange does not support lowering the Senate threshold for legislation to a simple majority from 60 votes.
Since Strange stands in the way of the Trump agenda by supporting Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s efforts to keep the vote threshold at 60 votes instead of 51, he cannot by definition support the Trump agenda, because Strange supports allowing eight Democrats to band together to block everything Trump supports.
In response, Moore fired back at the man who has become known in recent weeks here in Alabama as “Big Lying Luther.” In his own tweet, Moore said he supports the Trump agenda wholeheartedly.

Strange is acting exactly like a DC swamp creature. I hope we in Alabama show him the door come the runoff election.
Alabama ping.
“Luther Strange”? Sounds like the town perv.
Voted for Judge Moore in the primary; will vote for him in the runoff and general election. Just say “NO” to Swamp RINOs in Washington
I am not a fan of Judge Moore.
But the lying by Strange is a tell. The man is without honor.
And, Moore is better suited as an elected politician than as a judge anyway.
I live in the Fl panhandle, so we get Alabama TV stations as well as FL ones.
The ads against Moore are devastating.....................and annoying.................
A comic book arch-villain?.......................
I am not a fan of Judge Moore. <<
Could you give some details why????
Recall how bold a liar Cruz was in the primaries. Same thing by Luther. many voters have no connection with reality, and will accept the lie as truth.
That is because Strange IS a corrupt Swamp Creature.
...“Big Lying Luther.”...
As that, he is a perfect fit with most of the rest of the Republicans in the Senate.
Moore should concentrate on his connectivity to the crap ball McConnell.
Please respond to post 9 by M-cubed. I am interested in learning why you dislike Judge Moore.
“Carlos Danger”
The incredible shrinking candidate.
He’s only a ‘danger’ to Democrats!...................and 15 year old girls..................
“The ads against Moore are devastating”
Great. Mitch runs attack ads against the GOP frontrunner so if he wins he goes into the general damaged by his own party. Meanwhile the bastards are going to shove through an amnesty plan , that they can get passed.
I sincerely hope so, as well.
Luther Strange will be the first of a large number of Republican Establishment RINOs, adored and supported by none other then POTUS, Trump hater, failed, Republican Senate Leader, Mitch McConnell, to be massively defeated in a run-off primary.
Every Alabama Republican must come forward on run-off election day and cast their votes for Judge Roy Moore. Folks....the Republican Party must rid itself of all its Republican Establishment RINOs and leaders, Paul Ryan & Mitch McConnell!!! End of story!!!
