Tea Party Slams Mitch McConnell Group for Deceptively Editing Video from Event to Attack Roy Moore
Breitbart ^ | 09/19/2017 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 09/19/2017 3:02:40 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Becky Gerritson, the president of the Wetumpka Tea Party in Wetumpka, Alabama, just outside Montgomery here, has a message for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s PAC Senate Leadership Fund: Stop deceptively editing videos to attack conservative Judge Roy Moore.

Last week, Senate Leadership Fund was caught splicing together videos from two separate events in an out of context manner—in other words deceptively editing videos—to make it appear as though Judge Moore does not support President Donald Trump’s planned border wall. Not just Breitbart News, but PolitiFact too, has called out the McConnell-affiliated organization for the attack ads.

Of course, such attacks not only are untrue but they hurt President Trump and his agenda because they falsely suggest division between him and the GOP frontrunner for the nomination for the U.S. Senate in Alabama’s special election to succeed Jeff Sessions, now Trump’s attorney general.

Gerritson is speaking out, now, calling on Alabamians to reject McConnell’s underhanded tactics that hurt the Republican Party and likely eventual nominee for the U.S. Senate.

I also voted for Becky and will again in the future. She is awesome! I will also be voting for Roy Moore on Tuesday. I have long wanted him in the Senate.

I saw a TV commercial last night where they did this. The video was obviously edited. Luther Strange is being hurt by these ads, not helped. You don’t attack Roy Moore in Alabama. That’s a losing strategy. The swamp is full of idiots. When Luther Strange loses the press will spin this as a lose for Trump. It is not. We just know the candidates better than Trump does.

What I want to know is “What did McConnell promise Trump in order to get him to support Strange?” and, “Why would Trump trust Mitch McConnell?”

I hope you are right that McConnell is helping to get Moore elected.

He’s against Moore ,, but what I meant was that the tactics will backfire.

The people of Alabama see through the Senate Leadership Fund, Turtle and Big Luther.

So much noise is being created by this race that it will be hard for voter fraud to influence the outcome. Not that the GOPe is above fraud.

Judge Roy Moore for Senate
