Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) congratulated Judge Roy Moore on his blowout victory in the Alabama Senate GOP primary over Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL) — the candidate he backed.
“I would like to congratulate Roy Moore on his victory in Alabama tonight,” McConnell said in a statement.
McConnell added that Moore “ran a spirited campaign centered around dissatisfaction with the progress made in Washington” — not acknowledging his own role as senate majority leader or support for Strange.
“I share that frustration,” McConnell said, pledging to support Trump’s agenda, noting it was what “the American people voted for last November.”
“We look forward to Judge Moore’s help enacting that agenda when he arrives,” he said:McConnell pledged to back Moore in the general election scheduled for December 12 against Democrat Doug Jones and urged those active in the primary election to “redouble” their efforts in the general election.
Moore ran on an anti-establishment platform that rebuked McConnell and establishment Republicans in Washington.

Most likely Turtle BS.
Were his fingers crossed when he said this?
He’s lying.
Before anyone flames ol’ Mitch, remember what Saint Paul was on his way to Damascus to do when Jesus got his attention.
Trump should fire Elaine Chao as a head’s up!
Whatever, Bitch.
Are McConnell’s lips moving again? What does he mean, support, like with wooden frames and stuff?
McConnell, a man of his word.
After last night, more likely his legs.
I knew St. Paul, and Ditch is no St. Paul.....
A McConnell pledge is worth it’s weight in parakeet chit
McConnel you are a lair.
Not a chance ... though as with most everyone in America's "professional political class" McConnell will do and say anything and everything to get re-elected, even if it means something as (for him) bile-in-the-mouth disgusting as supporting President Trump's agenda.
More BS from the GOP...
Bet tax cuts fail also..
Simple everyone in the country pays 10%..on earning only
Corporations pay 15% if they invest the money in the US zero taxes...
Feds have to live on that and no borrowing..except for wartime
Assume you take him at his word, McConnell’s problem is he is not a leader & is too spineless to force other RINOs to get on the Trump Train. Has he removed McCain from any committees or leadership roles? Has he moved Collin’s office to the basement or parking structure? What is McConnell doing to get the dissenters on board - assuming he is not one of them also?
Mitch Must Go!
Damage control. Heard this sort of stuff before, like John Boehner when the Tea Party rose up and gave the house to the GOP. He said all this sort of thing too but he never beleived it and he worked more closely with Obama than with the freedom caucus.
